Roll the Arches

Longways, 5-8 couples

A1:

Long lines forward and back (8)

Long lines forward and back (8)

A2:

Top couple gallop down and back (16)

(Top couple face down; others face up and arch with inside hands)

B1:

Roll the arches (16):

    Top couple duck through the arch "tunnel" as others move up.

    When others reach the top, turn and duck through arches.

    When reaching the bottom, turn and arch over others until all home.

B2:

Peel the banana (16)

Always popular with the teens!

When the top couple gets home after rolling the arches you can call "Peel the banana", without waiting for the arches to finish.

Often the sequence takes longer than a standard tune, so I just start on the next phrase.
