The references to Dublin Bay are slightly inaccurate. The original dance -

Line of four facing down the hall:
Fall back four steps (heading backwards up the hall), go forward four steps,
turn alone to face up the hall; fall back four steps, go forward four steps.
Don't you just love the folk process? :-)
It's that turn in the middle of the line of 4's travel that I was
comparing to Dublin Bay. It's a lovely whooshy movement that shows up
occasionally in ECD but rarely in contras. Yes, the context isn't
identical, but the movement, flipping from facing one to the other, is.
