2. Volte singly.

Next in order comes:

1. Prepare to half-volte singly.

This is done exactly as in a private lesson, the pupils taking care to do it in time with one another, in order to reach their places at the same moment.

2. Half-volte singly.

1. Prepare for the reversed half-volte singly.

The pupils leave their places simultaneously by a diagonal line, and return to the same track; but, on the other hand, by a circular line of six steps.

2. Reversed half-volte singly.

These movements are here given on the right hand; but they may, of course, be done equally well on the left hand by reversing the terms.

I recommend teachers not to keep their pupils too long on the left hand, but to seize that opportunity to rectify any incorrect positions of the feet.

When the class can execute the foregoing movements correctly at the walk and the trot, the teacher may explain to them the canter or gallop.
