¶ 2.   Now, without losing a step or getting out of time to the music, both take one step straight to the left with the left foot. Then backward with the right foot and dip. (See Illustration 4.) Again sideways with the left foot, backward with the right and dip, and so on for ten or twelve steps, keeping on a straight line to the left.

¶ 3.   Repeat ¶ 1.

¶ 4.   Keeping the same position as in Illustration 3, do the Grape Vine, dipping on the backward step. This is the same Grape Vine as shown on page 16, except that you dip on the backward step and your partner is at your side instead of in front.

THE FOUR-STEP GRAPE VINE

Position, as shown in Illustration 1.

The man starts forward with his left foot and the lady backward with her right, taking four steps; then make a quarter turn and go backward four steps; then another quarter turn and four steps backward, continuing these steps until you have crossed the floor.
