All turn partners BH once round. The first 2 men on the women's side and the bottom 2 women on the men's side cross the set giving RH and changing positions while the other 2 people cross the set. (These are the first 2 bars of a 3-couple espagnole.) All set.

My birthday is in November and since I believe I 'invented' the 3-couple bourrel and I really like the figure I started writing dances with it each November. Since I turned 75 this year, I named this dance accordingly.
