 Rh feet. Take one step forward with the right foot (see Illustration 17), counting one, two, three. Another step forward with the left foot, counting one, two, three. Balance backward, counting one, two. Change feet on the three count, as above, and repeat indefinitely.

This change of feet is called the Twinkle, because it is done in the twinkling of an eye, so to speak.

Position, as shown in Illustration 18.

Both starting with the left foot, take the hesitation step to the side, the waltz step backward, repeating these steps several times. Then balance twice and come back, taking the hesitation step on the right foot instead of the left.

Position, as shown in Illustration 3.

Both starting with the left foot balance forward and back three times. As you balance backward the third time, "twinkle," as described in the Twinkle figure. This brings the right foot forward. Now one step forward on the right foot, a second step on the left foot, a third step on the right foot and swing half way round on the right toe. This brings you with the right foot forward and the lady on the man's left side instead of his right as at starting. Now balance forward and back three times, "twinkle," and repeat as above.
