Step Instead of Sliding
AS they make the turn, which
is one-quarter of circle, the
dancers bend slightly forward
from the shoulders, extend their
right and left arms before them
a little below shoulder-height
and extend the feet upon which
they are to take their first steps.
The complete polka-variation

forward and four backward, the
dancers keeping the approximate
ly relative attitudes shown in the
illustration, but the dancers in
stead of sliding the feet lift the
knees and take the step on the
ball Of each foot.
The lady takes her first for
