Provenance: Documented by Viggo Hertel in 1911. According to Hertel "If, in the CCW turn [bar 2] couples could not make it 1/2 way round, they would dance the next chassé step away from the centre of the circle - often they would only make it 1/4 to 3/8 way round." The tune is not specific to a particular locale, but is from the FFF's collection of sheet music collected in the beginning of the 1900s.

Provenance: The dance was documented by Christian Olsen (1881-1968) from Torpelund, Eskebjerg near Kalundborg. Olsen came from a family of folk musicians, and was very interested in history. He collected a lot of music, and published 3 booklets entitled Gamle danse fra Nordvestsjælland [(1923-1928)]. These are held in Dansk Folkemindesamling (1951/30 IX G:27).
