Excerpt
In teaching fancy dances, more rapid progress will be made by forming exercises characteristic of the movements to be executed.
This dance comprises a hopping movement and the laws of opposition must be observed with the hands and arms, therefore I will give a few exercises which must be thoroughly practised.
In describing, the letter R denotes right foot, L, the left.
EXERCISE NO. I
Hop four times on L. (one bar, four counts.)
Hop four times on R. (one bar, four counts.)
Hop four times on L. (one bar, four counts.)
Hop four times on R, turning completely around towards the right hand. (one bar, four counts.)
Repeat the whole movement by hopping first on R, then on L, then on R, then on L, turning towards the left hand.
This exercise lays the foundation for the fling.
