Quarterhouse to the right,
a new year from twelve midnight.
Again we'll dance our steps in place
then move into the next space.
Ladies' chain from month to month,
opposite gents at elbows turn.
Any side step through the seasons,
crossed-hand hold for no real reason.
Waltz around, then back to start,
another year near to depart.
A full circle, all hold hands,
house around to beat the band.
(Explanation: Moving into 2015 had me thinking about how often each year is like the last, I take basically the same steps. That put the idea of a céilí set into my mind. Happy New Year!)
