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:
“Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which hears, however measured or far away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Loss of freedom seldom happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush moustache and swastika armband—it creeps up insidiously ... step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realises that it is gone.”
—Baron Lane (b. 1918)
