■ 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.
