33.—THE STAR AND CIRCLE.

Four couples waltz around, then each lady selects another gentleman, and each gentleman another lady. The eight couples are arranged in two lines, the four couples in one line facing the four in the other line. The four ladies belonging to the middle couples cross right hands forming a moulinet, and swing entirely round to the left, returning with left hands across to the right. The gentlemen all join hands and form a circle around these four ladies. The remaining four ladies now advance, giving their left hands to the right hands of the ladies composing the moulinet, forming a star of ladies, and a circle of gentlemen. The gentlemen swing round to the right under the uplifted arms of the ladies, who move around to the left. At a signal, the gentlemen regain their partners and waltz to places. This figure may be varied, the gentlemen forming the star and the ladies the circle.
