This is done with the naked hands, handkerchiefs hanging loose from
middle fingers; and dancers should clap hands as loudly as ever they can.

according to explanation and diagram which follow. All stand fast while
clapping, not moving the feet.
Each individual dancer--

[Illustration: DIAGRAM OF HAND-CLAPPING.]
Hand-clapping in last four bars of "B" music is a repetition of clapping
in first four bars, as shown in diagram. Therefore in the Notation of
this dance (p. 77) the term "Hand-clapping" means clapping as shown
above, and the same repeated.
