Hockley in the Hole

Hockley in the Hole is an English Country Dance. It was published by John Playford (website) in 1651 in The English Dancing Master. It was interpreted by Scott Pfitzinger (website) in about 2019. It is a proper 4 Couple Longways dance. In this dance the couples are permuted by: 2341. It is a multipart dance. The minor set lasts 80 bars. The tune is a jig. It is in the key: G Major.

Playford writes:

Lead up all forward and back That again Set and turn S. That again

First man and last woman meet, and go back The first wo. and last man as much This as the first time

First man arms with the last wo. and back again to his place The first wo. and last man as much As before

First man go down to the last wo. and bring her up As before

Last man come up to his own wo. lead her down, the 1. cu. following, and fall hindermost As before

The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance will often be slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.

The dance contains the following figures: set, turn single, lead, arming (and probably others).
