Groom takes the girl's left hand in his right hand. Couples in a circle, facing in dancing direction. Basic composite step forward: Begin with outside foot, girl's right, groom's left. One chassee forward, one step on inside foot, to be repeated. Always start with the same foot. One composite step takes four bars. Basic composite step backwards: Begin with outside foot, girl's right, groom's left. One chassee backwards, one step on inside foot, to be repeated. Variants: Groom turns right to face girl; take two hands. Dance forward or backwards. Groom takes girl as for waltz; dance round. Use imagination. Remember that groom steers, and gives proper signs to girl. Always use the same composite steps. () |
