MILITARY SCHOTTISCHE.

Previous

(Or “Barn Dance.”)

The position of partners for the first part (4 bars) is standing side by side, the lady’s left hand resting lightly in the right hand of her partner.

In the second part (4 bars) partners dance together as in an ordinary round dance.

FIRST PART (4 BARS).

The following are the steps for the first part:

FIRST STEP.

Slide the left foot to fourth position.

SECOND STEP.

With a light spring on the left bring the right foot to the place of the left, and in so doing point the latter (slightly raised in front) in the fourth position.

THIRD STEP.

Spring forward on the left foot, raising the right behind.

FOURTH STEP.

Make a slight hop on the sole of the left foot, and extend the right in front with toe pointed downwards.

Repeat the movement, commencing with the right foot (the foot the lady commences with). The two movements are again repeated to complete the first four bars.

SECOND PART (4 BARS).

Holding, as in an ordinary round dance, the couple waltz four bars as explained in the Schottische.
