 Rh The man steps and counts as follows: One, backward on the left; two, backward with the right and “brush”; three, forward on the right; four, forward on the left, but on this step place the left heel on the floor with the toe pointing upward, and click the right foot. See Illustration 20. Repeat four times. The reverse of the above for the lady.

Position, as shown in Illustration 6.

Extend the outside foot forward, placing the heel on the floor with the toe pointing upward. In this position take a very short forward step with the inside foot, still keeping the outside foot extended. Next, throw the weight onto the toe of the extended foot and take another short step with the inside foot. Repeat for eight counts. This figure is simply keeping the outside foot extended and changing from heel to toe and toe to heel between the short steps of the inside foot.

After these eight counts, the man remains stationary, merely marking time to the above steps, while the lady, holding the man’s left hand, circles completely about him, performing the same steps, and making four revolutions under his left arm as she passes around him.

Assuming the original position, eight more counts forward complete the figure.
