The Step
The feet perform alternating cross steps and side steps with swivel action, as follows.
- On 1, put the right foot on the heel across the left foot and put the weight on this heel, the toe being in the air.
- On 2, swivel on the heel, the right toe swinging to the right, while doing a small step by the left foot to the side, almost in place or simply transferring the weight onto the left foot, or stepping slightly back.
Step 1 may also be accompanied with a light swivel of the left toe.
One may continue in one of the ways:
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 several times.
- or
- On 3, step with the right foot to the right.
- On 4, bring the left foot together or step across the right foot.
- repeat steps 1, 2, 3, 4.
- or (change of direction)
- On 3, step with the right foot to the right.
- On 4, do nothing.
- 5, 6, 7, 8 do any of the three patterns from the opposite foot.

Famous quotes containing the word step:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“There were ghosts that returned to earth to hear his phrases,
As he sat there reading, aloud, the great blue tabulae.
They were those from the wilderness of stars that had expected more.
There were those that returned to hear him read from the poem of life,
Of the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them.
They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
