Notes
Jig-This phrase should be danced as though along a beam, mostly on the balls of the feet.
Hand movements-After the first four walls
1-2 Men Extend left arms fully out to left, right arms over head, pointing to left, fingers closed
Ladies Extend both arms fully out to left, at chest height, fingers closed.
9-10 Reverse of 1-2
17-20

With elbows close to body, point forearms and hands in direction of applejacks  (L, R, L, R) Rotate neck (not body) to face same direction.

 

Music-The recommended music is track 2 from the CD single of "Lord of the Dance". Alternatively use track 1 from the full CD, but start the dance half way through when the full orchestra starts up. Alternatively use the "bonus " track 16, but this has the taps on it.
Dedication of Dance Mix - The Cry of the Celts Electric Coastin Mix is dedicated to 2 of my favorite line dances done to Irish Music. Those two dances being Electric Reel and Coastin. You can do either dance to this special mix of the Rye Brothers song. Start after 16 beats and you will end either dance on the last beat of the song, last step of the dance & facing original wall of dance. Your Country Dancin Friend, "Hillbilly" Rick
