\nIn spite of the wording, which has been reversed in the third line for rhyming, the lady goes first both times. The lady splits the inactive couple and goes around the lady. The gent follows her between but he goes around the gent. The lady again leads between the inactive couple but this time she goes around the gent while the gent goes around the lady. <\/p>\n

Lady Round Two, the Gent Cut Thru<\/h3>\n

First couple lead out to the right,
\n    Lady round two, the gent cut thru,
\n    Gent around two, the lady cut thru,
\nCircle up four, half way round,
\nActives dive thru on to the next two.<\/p>\n

Description:<\/span>
\nCouple #1 walks to their right towards couple #2. Lady #1 goes around and behind gent #2, going around both gent and lady #2. The first gent follows, but he cuts through couple #2, coming into the center in front of his lady. Then, gent #1 leads around behind gent #2, passing around both the gent and the lady #2, while lady #1 follows him, but takes a shortcut back to the middle through couple #2. <\/p>\n

Lady Round the Lady, Gent Also<\/h3>\n

First couple lead out to the right,
\n    Lady round the lady, the gent also,
\n    Lady round the gent, the gent don’t go,
\nCircle up four, half way round,
\nActives dive thru on to the next two.<\/p>\n

Description:<\/span>
\nLady #1 splits couple #2, and goes around lady #2 with gent #1 following her. Then Lady #1 again splits couple #2. She goes around gent #2, but gent #1 just waits for her. <\/p>\n
