  We study the construction of the collective-coordinate manifold in the baryon
number two sector of the Skyrme model. To that end we use techniques of
adiabatic large amplitude collective motion, which treat potential and kinetic
energy on an equal footing. In this paper the starting point is the Ansatz
proposed by Atiyah and Manton (Phys.~Lett.~{\bf 438B}, 222 (1989)), which
allows a study of the dynamics using a finite and small number of variables.
From these variables we choose a subset of collective ones. We then study the
behavior of inertial parameters along parts of the collective manifold, and
study the dynamical parts of the interaction.
