The Espagnole (from John Drewry's dance "Glayva")
| 1-2 | 1st and 2nd ladies, joining right hands, dance towards the men's side, passing between their partners - on the second step, 1st lady crosses 2nd lady over in front of her, so that 2nd lady dances out and up towards top place, while 1st lady dances out and down towards second place. Meanwhile 1st and 2nd men cross towards the ladies' side passing on either side of their partners. |
| 3-4 | 1st and 2nd men, joining right hands, dance back towards their own side, passing between their partners - on the fourth step, 1st man crosses 2nd man over in front of him, so that 2nd man dances out and up towards top place, while 1st man dances out and down towards second place. Meanwhile 1st and 2nd ladies cross back towards their own side passing on either side of their partners. |
| 5-8 | 2nd couple turn by the right hand, while 1st couple turn by the left hand. |
John Drewry notes that there is no need to dance out to the sidelines until the end of the figure. However in this dance if possible the dancers should return to the sidelines on the fourth bar so as to cover with the other couples in the turning.
