The square dance at one time won great love not only at home, but also far beyond its borders. Learning to dance the square dance was the duty of every well-mannered guy and every noble girl. This is a pair dance, performed with a partner in a circle. The square dance is divided into circular and angular. The square dance includes many figures that have their own name and character.
Instructions
Step 1
The first figure: acquaintance. Stand with your partner opposite each other. The partner stands to the right and the partner to the left of the audience. Walk to the center of the room, say hello with your right hand, do a few spins using a simple heel step and triple tilt, and then part.
Step 2
The second figure: a walk. Walk with your partner in a circle, performing four simple steps with a triple tilt. Return to your seat in a full circle. On the spot, rotate with your partner in both directions. Then go to the sides.
Step 3
Figure three: farewell. Pair with your partner in the center of the room, rotate together, then raise your arms to form a gate. The fourth pair must pass through the "trickle" formed by your hands and the partners say goodbye, disperse to their places. The third and second pairs do the same. The partners of the first pair are the last to say goodbye.
Step 4
Figure four: walk. Take steps in a square with your partner without turning towards each other. As a result, you and the parterre will find yourself opposite each other. At the end of the movement, join hands.
Step 5
Figure five: seizure. Make a bouncy move with your partner. Then take a step towards each other on bent legs. Straighten up and repeat again, softening the knee. Repeat the movement several times at the same time with your partner.
Step 6
Figure six: change. Walk past your partner to another. Your partner does the same. Thus, you exchange in pairs. Walk in circles, changing partners, until you are face to face with your partner.
