Warning: The figures for each dance is generated programmatically by regular expression matching and may be in error. Also, for old dances, they reflect the figures used by the interpreter which may not match those of the deviser.

Arming

Bars: 4.

Arming is very like a hand turn, except that you lock elbows, or grasp further up the forearm, or put the top of your hand under your partner's elbow.

History

Arming appears in the Lovelace MS, and later in Playford's Dancing Master. It died out early in the 18^th century.
