This step is very simple, and consists of but two movements. The music is in 2-4 time, and as a rule, played quickly. There are two kinds of steps used—one for going forward and the other for turning round. The forward movement is a perfectly natural one, and will be easily understood. The turning movement is accomplished by using the ordinary waltz step, counting one and two, one and two, letting the second and fifth steps come in at the word “and.”

Position.—Right foot in front.

FIRST STEP.

Slide the left foot straight to the side with a gentle spring on the right, allowing the weight to rest on the left foot.

SECOND STEP.

Bring right foot up to the left, with a light spring on left.

Repeat three times, making in all four slides to the right. Accent the slides, and give as little time as possible to the change. The fourth time, instead of transferring the weight to the left foot, pivot on the right foot, making a half turn to the right. Then take four slides, with the left foot leading. Pivot to the right on the left foot, and repeat, with the right foot again leading.
