1C pass people in 2^nd corner position to dance out and around 2^nd corner position then pass RS to end in 2^nd place on own sides while all four corners repeat bars 9-12. Corners are now diagonally opposite from where they started the figure in bar 9.

17-24

Corners chase CW once round while 1C turn RH and LH to end in 2^nd place on own sides.

25-32

Diagonal rights and lefts.

Repeat.

Suggested music is The Hyperactive Reel from The Graded Book 2.

The original name of this dance was The Eggbeater because the figure in bars 9-24 reminds me of an eggbeater, but my class renamed it for me when they first danced it. Note that timing is critical in that figure!
