Dancing Without an Instructor

by Professor Wilkinson

23.—THE INCONSTANTS.

The first four couples waltz and then range themselves in a column, the first couple at the head. The first gentleman turns round and gives the left arm, crossed at the elbow, to the left arm of the gentleman behind him, with whom he changes place. He continues this movement until he reaches the front of the column, where he stops. The second gentleman (now at the head) performs the same figure, and each of the other gentlemen in turn does the same, until, finally, all have regained their own partners. Then all dance.
