This movement is executed in Front formation, to eight bars of music, as
follows:
In the first two bars each dancer crosses over and takes the place of his
partner, setting the pairs back to back, thus:
[Illustration: Fig. 1.]
[Illustration: Fig. 2.]
In crossing and re-crossing, _invariably_, each must keep his partner to
the right, that is, the right shoulder of each passes by the right
shoulder of each partner.
In bars 3 and 4 (keeping up the step all the time) all come to the
right-about, that is, face inward again, by turning to the rightward
(maintaining position all the time), thus:
[Illustration: Fig. 3.]
[Illustration: Fig. 4.]
In bars 5 and 6 all cross over again, right shoulder to right shoulder,
bringing the side back to back and in original stations.
In bars 7 and 8 all make a full turn to the right (as in Fig. 3) bringing
the side again to Front.
As there are two bars to turn in after crossing over, and again after
re-crossing, the dancer must, of course, turn slowly and evenly, so that
the turn is completed just in time for the jump in bars 4 and 8.
This is called in the Notation--Cross-over.
