As in other present-day dances, usage requires no set sequence of figures.
1. Execute the first measure with the body somewhat supple, and a good deal of rise and sink in the steps. The effect may be varied by inclining the body rather sinuously from side to side.
2. A Flying Two-Step: a two-step in which the advanced foot points upward, touching the heel to the floor—except on turns. Continue as many measures without turning as is found interesting; eight are not too many.
3. Man’s steps: Starting in first position, advance right foot to fourth position (1); glide left foot to second position (2); glide right foot to posterior third position (3); carry left foot to posterior fourth position, pause en attitude, and, plant it, transferring weight to it and raising right (advanced) foot, point down (4).
