This dance is also suitable for three or five couples.  In this case, the single couple at the bottom of the set turn right hand and then left hand while the others dance hands across, they then stand still during bars 9-16.
This is an easy dance quite suitable for warming up or for ceilidhs.  It was devised after teaching in a secondary school, but finally never used there.  Later it was taught and performed in a nursery school in the area of Grenoble by the "older" ones (5-6 year-old children), quite difficult for them though.  At that time, the dance was called "Kids in the Alps", but it was renamed for publishing in the Walnut Book.
