As usual in all quadrilles, during the first eight bars of music, each gentleman addresses first his own partner, then the lady on his left.

Head couples repeat as they stand.

Side couples: the entire figure, twice.

Head Couples to the Right and Address.—The first couple moves to the right and stops, facing the third couple, and the second couple stops facing the fourth couple. All address.

Take Side Ladies and Go Opposite.—Retaining his partner’s right hand in his right hand, the first gentleman takes the third lady’s right hand in his left and conducts the two ladies to the second couple’s place. In the same way the second gentleman leads his partner and the fourth lady to the first couple’s place.

Ladies’ Grand Chain (Without Gentlemen).—The four ladies cross over, touching right hands in passing. They then cross from side to side of the set, touching left hands. These two movements are repeated, ending with each lady standing in front of and facing her own partner.

All Chassez.—All take four steps to the right and four to the left, and then turn partners. This leaves the first couple in the second couple’s place, and the second couple in the first couple’s place; the side couples remaining in their proper places. The repetition of the figure restores the head couples to original positions. The figure is then danced twice with side couples leading.

This figure is danced four times, each gentleman and opposite lady commencing in turn.

First Gentleman and Second Lady Forward.—Turn with both hands, the gentleman half around, and the lady entirely around, and stop in center, both facing the first lady.

The entire figure is performed four times, the first, second, third and fourth couples leading in rotation.

First Couple Forward.—The first couple walk four steps forward. The lady then turns facing her partner, who retires, with a bow, to place. The same movement is performed by each of the other couples in succession. This leaves the four ladies standing in the center, back to back.

Ladies Join Hands, Circle.—The ladies join hands and swing around in a circle to the left, ending face to face with partners, as before. Ladies then release hands.
