32.—THE GRAND ROUND.
Any number (four or more) lead off, then each lady selects another lady and each gentleman selects another gentleman. The dancers form a circle, the gentlemen forming one half of it and the ladies the other half, the leading gentleman being next to his partner. All join hands and circle around to the left. Still retaining hold of hands, the first lady and gentleman advance across the circle and pass under the raised arms of the opposite lady and gentleman. When outside the circle, the leading couple unclasp hands and the gentleman, drawing the other gentlemen after him, turns to the left and passes around outside the circle, the lady at the same time turning to the right and drawing the other ladies after her. When the leading couple again meet, they dance together to place, and each successive couple does the same.
