Ladies’ Grand Chain (Without Gentlemen).—The four ladies cross over, touching right hands in passing. They then cross from side to side of the set, touching left hands. These two movements are repeated, ending with each lady standing in front of and facing her own partner.
All Chassez.—All take four steps to the right and four to the left, and then turn partners. This leaves the first couple in the second couple’s place, and the second couple in the first couple’s place; the side couples remaining in their proper places. The repetition of the figure restores the head couples to original positions. The figure is then danced twice with side couples leading.
