THE MODERN DANCES

Position, as shown in Illustration 3.

¶ 1.   Both starting with the left foot, take four steps forward; on the fifth step, change position, the man crossing over behind the lady without releasing the hands or losing a step; three more steps forward and then cross back again; then three more steps forward. In other words, this is merely twelve steps forward, changes of position being made on the fifth and ninth steps. Completion of these twelve steps should leave you in the same position as at the start.

¶ 2.   Now, without losing a step or getting out of time with the music, both take one step straight to the side with the left foot, then backward with the right foot and dip (see Illustration 4). Again sideways with the left foot and 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.
