On the first caper, the dancers turn to face down. On the remaining capers the dancers continue turning so as to end the dance facing up in the positions from which they started the dance. I'd be interested in seeing other versions of this dance, or any other dances readers know in the Klezmer tradition. Two people of same sex dance over two each other's partner, swing the other's partner, dance back to own partner, and swing own partner. Four bars of music for each cross, and four bars of music for each swing.
Crossing is done with four twosteps.
On each twostep, one hand is raised to eye level, and the other touches the elbow, with the hands reversed on the next twostep. Swinging is done with right side to right side, right arm around the partner's waist, left hand up in the air, and a running step. Dance around in circle until end of phrase of music. Unwind by successively pulling leading dancers through.
