The gentleman holds the lady precisely as in the polka. Beginning with
the left foot, he slides it forward, then brings up the right foot to
the place of the left, slides the left foot forward, and springs or
hops on this foot. This movement is repeated to the right. He begins
with the right foot, slides it forward, brings up the left foot to the
place of the right foot, slides the right foot forward again, and hops
upon it. The gentleman springs twice on the left foot, turning half
round; twice on the right foot; twice _encore_ on the left foot,
turning half round; and again twice on the right foot, turning half
round. Beginning again, he proceeds as before. The lady begins with
the right foot, and her step is the same in principle as the
gentleman's. Vary, by a _reverse turn_; or by going in a straight line
round the room. Double, if you like, each part, by giving four bars to
the first part, and four bars to the second part. The _time_ may be
stated as precisely the same as in the polka; but let it not be
forgotten that _La Schottische_ ought to be danced _much slower_.
