All around in the center, all around in the center, First young lady all around in the center,

At 2, she swings her partner. While singing 3, all partners swing and all promenade in a circle to the right (i. e., skip around in a circle, couple following couple) and all return to their original places, with the exception of the first girl. During the promenade she is at the left of her partner, and in the final formation of the circle she is also at his left. |
