through 4. It is 3 steps on 4 beats: 1 2 3 4 Men do left forward
right (in place) left together (left next to right) hold (no
step) . Ladies do right back left (in place) right together
(right next to left) hold (no step) And then on counts 5 - 6 - 7
- 8 , they each do what the other did on counts 1 - 2 - 3 - 4,
like this: 5 6 7 8 Ladies do left forward right (in place) left
together (left next to right) hold (no step) . Men do right back
left (in place) right together (right next to left) hold (no
step) Step, step, step, hold. Step, step, step, hold. Well,
