THE MODERN DANCES

The Lady

Starting with the right foot, take four slow, running, slightly springy steps backward and the same forward. These steps should be made in a slow, easy run, barely lifting the feet from the floor.

Figure 2. Circling

Position, as shown in Illustration 1.

Circling consists simply in turning completely around, letting the feet follow the body naturally.

The Man

Swing the right foot around backward, the left around forward, the right backward again and the left forward—four steps to complete the Circle. Repeat this Circle before starting the next figure.
