Dancing Without an Instructor

by Professor Wilkinson

11.—PUSS IN THE CORNER.

Four chairs are placed in the center of the room, separated so as to make four corners. The leader places his partner upon one of the chairs, and brings forward three ladies and places them upon the three remaining chairs, and takes up a position in the center. The ladies then endeavor to change seats, using the two-step when passing from one chair to another; when the gentleman can seize a chair left vacant by the movement of the ladies, he dances with the lady who is deposed. The next gentleman places himself in the center and another lady takes the vacant chair.
