++ Horseshoe Chain: "Top couple face each other, everyone else faces up towards the band/top couple. First, explain where people will be going: they will move up their own line, cross with their partner at the top of the set and then move down the other side. Then, explain how they get there: the top couple start off the move by joining right hands and then move past each other. They let go and stick out their left hands to join with the next person they meet. Everyone joins in the chain when someone joins hands with them. Once you’re in the chain, you keep joining right and left hands with people and cross over to the other side when you get to the top."
