■ A  square  dance  s_et  consists  of  four  couples  standing  in  a  square
          formation,  facing  into center of formation  or circle.
          ·  The  head  or  number  one  ( # 1)  couple  usually  stand  with  their
          backs  to  the orchestra. The number  two  ( # 2)  couple stands  to  the
          right of the  number one  ( # 1)  couple.  Number  three  ( # 3)  couple
          stands  to  the  right  of  number  two  ( #2)  couple  and  directly  op-
          posite couple number one  ( # 1). Number four  ( # 4)  couple stands
          at the left of couple number one  ( # 1)  and directly opposite couple
          number two  ( #2).
            There  should  be  at  least  six  ( 6)  paces  from  couple  number  one
          ( # 1)  across  to  couple  number  two  ( # 2);  and  six  ( 6)  paces  from
          couple number  two  ( #2)  across  to couple number four  ( #4).
            The  gentleman  should  bear  in  mind  that  he  always  returns  to
          place,  regardless  of  whether  he  has  his  original  partner  or  a  new
          partner.
            The lady always stands on the right hand side of the gentleman.
            The dancers should give their closest attention to the person doing
          the calling.
            The square dance should be executed with the same ease and grace
          as the waltz. As  the dancers become more experienced, they may add
          many whirls and  intricate steps  to  their  dancing.
