the side, taking you on a straight line across the room. As in the Forward and Back figure, both the Circle and the Grape Vine are the same slow, running, slightly springy steps, barely lifting the feet from the floor.
Figure 4. The Draw
This is about the simplest and, to the onlooker, is the most attractive of the four figures.
Position, as shown in Illustration 1.
The Man
Starting with the left foot, take one step directly to the side; then, keeping the right foot on the floor, draw it up until the heel touches the left. Repeat this three times more. To avoid stiffness in this figure, as you draw the right foot up, turn the body slightly to the right with just the suggestion of a dip. See Illustration 2.
The Lady
Starting with the right foot, take one step directly to the side; then, keeping the left foot on the floor, draw it up until the heel touches the right. Repeat this three times more. To avoid stiffness in this figure, as you draw the left foot up, turn the body slightly to the left with just the suggestion of a dip. See Illustration 2.
