Star Promenade

Also known as: Double Hands Across, Wagon Wheel.

Bars: 4.

In this figure there is a group of dancers in the center doing a hands across, or hand turn (if there are only two dancers in the middle), each holding their partner in their other hand, and all turning.

History

Lady Banbury's Hornpipe, Playford, 1657 appears to have a star promenade for two couples.

Then Thomas Hurst's Le Moulinet, a Cotillion from 1769: The four Ladies right hands across in the middle once round Ladies still keeping the right hands across each takes her partner with her left hand and turn once more round in a large cross.

In J.P. Boulogne's Petronelle ~ Quadrille, 1827:

		Bars
1.	The first Gentleman and third Lady perform the figure of a diamond, to their right, in the centre, setting at the four corners	16
2.	Double hands across and back again,	8
