Standing upon the left foot, step directly to the side, and transfer the weight to the right foot (count 1); swing the left leg to the right in front of the right, at the same time raising the right heel (count 2); lower the right heel (count 3); return the left foot to its original place where it receives the weight (count 4); swing the right leg across in front of the left, raising the left heel (count 5); and lower the left heel (count 6). 2 measures.
Swing the right foot to the right, and put it down directly at the side of the left (count 1); hop on the right foot and swing the left across in front (count 2); fall back upon the right foot (count 3); put down the left foot, crossing in front of the right, and transfer weight to it (count 4); with right foot step a whole step to the right (count 5); and finish by bringing the left foot against the right, where it receives the weight (count 6). 2 measures.
In executing the hop upon counts 2 and 3 of the third measure, the movement must be so far delayed that the falling back will exactly coincide with the third count of the music.
