Change-step—Place left foot forward, bring right foot behind left, place left foot forward, swing right foot in front of left, and bring left foot up behind it, etc.
Change-step with hop—Change-step, hopping as one foot is swung in front of the other.
Hop-step forward—Place right foot forward and swing left foot past with a hop on right foot, or vice versa.
Hop around—Always done with partner, usually shoulder-hip position; women begin with right foot and men with left, hop, making a half-turn each time.
Sidestep—Place foot to side and bring other foot up to it.
Running side-step—Fast side-step.
Heel-step—One foot forward resting on heel, other knee slightly bent.
Toe-step—Same as hop-step with very slight knee bending and almost no hop.
Single Tyrolean step—Place right foot to right, swing left foot across right leg, knee and ankle relaxed, hop; vice versa.
Double Tyrolean step—Place right foot to right, place left foot behind it, then right foot to the right again, swing left foot across right, hop; vice versa as in single Tyrolean step.
Chasse—The right (or left) foot moves one step and the other foot is brought up to it. Then the right (or left) takes a step in same direction as before.
Buzz Step—When this is used in a circle or in mills the right foot is in the lead, the left not far behind. A step is taken with right, most of the weight on this foot, and then the left is brought up to it. When couples swing in place both dancers have the outside of their right feet together, serving as a pivot. The weight is on right foot. |
