1. Circle (8 bars)

1 - 8 bar

“I am making a potato soup, I am making a potato soup”

The circle turns to the right, steping a simple step every crotchet.

2. Turning round joining arms

(8 bars)

1 - 2 bar: the dancers, standing in a big joint circle, turn to each other in a couple round right shoulders, taking each other by right arms, in four running steps turn one circle around in the same place in the direction of the Sun.

3 - 4 bar: the dancers, joining left arms with the other neighbour (i.e. a boy with a girl in his left, and a girl with a boy in her right) turn one circle around in the same place in the direction of the Sun.

5 - 8 bar: the text and the movements of 1-4 bar are repeated, i.e. again the dancers turn with their original partners and with the neighbours.

Further the circle can be repeated from the beginning.

Another variant

1. Circle (8 bars)

In the beginning the I element “A circle“ is repeated, and then, when the “potato soup is stired”-

“So that it doesn’t burn”.

The dancers in a couple turn to each other and start weaving: steping a small step every crotchet, they every four steps join in turn their right and left arms with the dancers, they meet. The dancers go like this untill they meet their original partner.
