Four Ladies to the Right, Etc.—Each lady advances four steps to the gentleman at her right, turns with him, and takes his former partner’s place. Each gentleman then advances to the lady at his left, turns her and assumes her former partner’s side. This movement, repeated by both ladies and gentlemen, brings original partners together, but at the side of the set opposite to their original position. All then promenade entirely around the set. The second and fourth times the figure is danced the couples will be restored to their original positions.
