Position: Promenade position, both facing line of dance; lady standing on the gentleman's right side; each will have heels together; his left hand will hold her left hand either in front of his left shoulder, in front of and slightly higher than his waist, or in front of the lady's left shoulder; his right arm will reach behind the lady and hold her right hand in his right hand slightly to the right of her right shoulder. The side to side movement during the dance requires so little change in arm movements, no description will be given. The gentleman must just remember not to drop the lady's hands as he moves around and just extends her right arm instead of her left.
