A simple Step, is that which is alone, as all those which hitherto demonstrated; and a compound Step, is, where two or more Steps are join’d together by a Line, and which then are to be reputed as one Step only, as will appear by the following Steps.

To practise more easily what has already been taught and demonstrated, you may make Use of the following Tables; where you will find all or the greatest Part of the Steps us’d in Dancing, whether with one Foot, or the other, forwards, backwards, sideways, or turning, as well upon streight Lines, as diametrical.

The Tables.

[1. Of Courant Movements.]
2[. Of half Coupee’s.]
[3. Of Coupee’s.]
[4. Of Bouree’s, or Fleurets.]
[5. Of Bounds, or Tacs.]
[6. Of Contretemps, or compos’d Hops.]
[7. Of Chassee’s, or Drives.]		[8. Of Siffonne’s, or Cross-Leaps.]
[9. Of Pirouettes.]
[10. Of Capers, and Half-Capers.]
[11. Of Entre-chats, or Cross-Capers.]
[12. Of Waving Steps.]
[13. A Supplement.]

You must observe, that each Square contains only one Step, which I have writ down twice, to the end to shew, that what is perform’d with one Foot, may also be perform’d with the other.

An Explanation of the Steps contain’d in each Square, is also writ down with them; and whereas some of the Words and Terms are abbreviated for want of Room, I have put down here a short Explanation of them.
