Twos and Threes
Starting from the front position, No. 1 and No. 5 raise No.5's
rapper and go underneath it. No. 1 turns to his left and followed
by No.2 they run round in small anticlockwise circles. No. 1's
rapper is held down curved over his right shoulder throughout.
Meanwhile No. 5 turns to his right and followed by No. 4 they run
round in small clockwise circles. No.4's rapper is held down
curved over No. 5's left shoulder throughout. No.3 steps forward
under No. 5's rapper and may go whichever way he likes. (i.e. He
may follow either No. 2 or No. 4.) When Nos. 1 and 5 are on the
outside of their circuits No.5's rapper is raised high and flat
over the dancers sweeping down to low and curved as they go through
the inside of their circuits (note No.1 always goes through the
centre a little ahead of No. 5).
Similarly the appropriate one of the rappers No. 3 is holding
is raised high over the dancers when he is on the outside of the
circuit, the other rapper resting curved over the shoulder of the
person he is following. After several circuits (3-5) No. 1 calls
"Nut" and as soon as they momentarily come into the "Front Position"
the dancers all turn clockwise on the spot to bring themselves into
the "Nut Position" and proceed to tie the Nut
