=== The Moves ===

==== Figures ====
The [[Dance move|figures]] can be summarised as Foot Up, Corners Change, Top Hey, Bottom Hey and Circular Hey, with usually a distinctive verse figure unique to each dance.<ref name="Blake" />{{rp|24}}<ref name="CardiffMorris" />

==== Steps ====

There is double step throughout, except when 'chipping' (hopping in one spot whilst simultaneously rotating). The basic pattern is two double steps followed by four capers. There had been a tendency to truncate the second double step and leap straight into the capers, leading to a loss of balance and poise. The hand movements are straight up-and-down, with [[Adderbury]]-style circular movements at waist level for the capers. In the 'chipping' sequences in ''Y Gaseg Eira'' and ''Hunting the Hare'' the arms are raised in turn and in time with the single stepping which accompanies it.<ref name="Blake" />
