| Bars | Part | Dance progression: |
| 1-8 | (a) | Promenade: All dance in LOD, 16 walking steps.
The "widower(s)" hurry into position behind an M with a partner, clap hands behind his neck, and take his partner, continuing the walk. The M who lost his partner, moves to the next M in front of him, and claps hands behind his neck and taking over his partner, etc. until the walking portion of the dance is over. |
| 9-24 | (b) | Tyrolervals: All couples dance tyrolervals.
Meanwhile, all new "widowers" stand in the circle awaiting the next promenade. |
| The "widowers" are either all M or all W. If the latter, they remain outside the circle of couples. M and W only 'clap out' their own position, ie those intending to dance the M role only 'clap out' those already dancing the M role, and vice versa. | ||
| Repeat from (a) as desired. |
