The Corner Ladies are picked up aon the fly," as they dance toward the gentlemen for the Promenade; the gentlemen pivot in a left-about-face turn as they take right hands with the approaching ladies, join­ing left hands over the right hands to take the skating position without halting the counterclockwise movement of the ladies.
