THE MODERN DANCES

Another figure may be introduced by the couple taking position as shown in Illustration 6, both facing forward.

Four steps are taken forward, dipping on the fourth step (see Illustration 11), then back four steps and turn.


Position, as shown in Illustration 6.

Couple starts forward, the man with his left foot and the lady with her right, taking three steps, making a little skip as the third step is taken; this skip is on the man's right foot and the lady's left; now balance twice, then repeat.


Position, as shown in Illustration 6.

The man starts forward with his left foot and the lady with her right, taking five steps forward, skipping on each step. Balance twice, then turn the body around without changing the position of the arms and take four steps in the opposite direction (see Illustration 12), skipping on each step as before; then turn as described previously.

I suggest the turn after each of the figures, but the order of the figures is optional with the dancers.
