Gear Shift
by Sue McKinnell 6X32 Jig for 6 couples
(Set Dance)
Bars  
  Couples 4, 5, and 6 start the dance crossed over.
1-8 1C cast off and 6C cast up to meet, dance around each other right shoulder to right shoulder (1W & 6M, 1M & 6W) then dance back to place.
9-16 1C, 2C, 3C, and similarly 4C, 5C, 6C, dance mirror reels of 3 on the sides, 1C in and down, 6C in and up, to begin.
17-24 1C cross RH, change LH with 2C on the sides, cross RH, and change LH with 3C on the sides while 6C cross RH, change LH with 5C on the sides, cross RH, and change LH with 4C on the sides.
25-32 1C and 6C set and dance RH across halfway then circle left once round. Order is 236145.
Repeat.
Suggested music is Fire in the Rye from Jig for Joy by The Music Makars.
The last figure reminds me of gears and 1C and 6C shift sets each time through the dance.
