Set 2Dancers remain facing in pairs in center of track, facing side walls
Set 3Dancers move out of center track, pass along side each other, then move back into track facing someone new
Set 4Dancers remain facing in pairs in center of track, facing side walls
Set 5Dancers remain in center track. When connecting during bumps (encouraged), arms should move accordingly
Set 6Dancers execute box pattern going closely around each other, to end where they started. The drawing together of the non weighted foot before stepping keeps each persons feet in their own dance space
