Warning: The figures for each dance is generated programmatically by regular expression matching and may be in error. Also, for old dances, they reflect the figures used by the interpreter which may not match those of the deviser.

Set and Honour

Also known as: Step and Honour.

An online definition may be found here.

Bars: 4.

Cecil Sharp says:

This is a lengthened form of the Set occupying four instead of two bars. On the first beat of the fist bar the right foot is placed on the ground sideways to the right; on the first beat of the second bar the left foot is brought up beside it and the honour paid in the manner already explained (two bars). These movements are then repeated in the reverse direction, the left foot being moved to the side, the right foot brought up beside it, and the honour paid (two bars, i.e., four bars in all).

History

As far as I know this is an invention of Cecil Sharp's and I can find nothing in Playford to justify it. Other interpreters have used it after Sharp.
