This article f the fourth of an tlliis

Social .Dances and How to Perform
Them," which are to appear Tuesdays and
Thursdays exclusively in this ttetos
jnper. Theso articles have been written
by Mile. Pavlowa, viho, as premiere ball
erina assoluta of the St, Petersburg Im
perial Opera, is everywhere 'ccoynlzed as
not only the nrcatcst living afcer, but
the greatest living authoiity on the i.'f of
the dance. The photographs were posttl
for by Mile. Pavlowa and her partner,
Ivan Clustine (maitre de ballet of the Im
perial Open Houses in Bt. Petersburg and
Moscow, and at the Paris 'Grand' Opera),
regarded as Vurope's foremost masculine
social dancer.

Tho fourth division In my standardiza
tion ot tho One-Step Is tho crosa-oor
cluiFwe. nightly employed. It should como
Immediately after the polka-varlatlon,
which, in Un turn, follows tho forward
nnd hack plain steps and tho side-glide.
At the conclusion ot the polka-varla-tion
figure the dancers aro In a "seml
open" position, the davalier having his
right arm partially about his lady's
waist, her left arm resting right fore
arm. Tho cavalier's left hand holds his
lady's right, the arms being held before
them a trifle below shoulder-height.
With the lady standing on her left foot,
her right being lifted several Inches above
the lloor In front of her, and tho cavalier
maintaining his polso on his right foot,
the left being lifted after the manner of
the lady's right, the dancers now prepare
for a cross-over.
In this figure the cavalier must pass be
hind his lady, from her left to her right,
and after executing a chasse step on three
counts, he must return again to her left
side teady to continue the dance with
another figure.
The lady, who lemalns fn front of her
partner, moves only a few Inches as the
cavalier changes his position. She must
first step a trifle away from him toward
her right, then again toward her left, and,
thirdly, tovvatd her left. During thla
maneuver she muBt release her cavalier's
right arm with her left, and be able skil
fully to extend It to him over her head
to her right at the proper moment.
Beginning the explanation of this cross
over chasse, let ma first start with the
cavalier. From the attitude already ex
plained he removes his hand from its
place at his lady's waist line, drops her
right hand with his left and, turning to
his right on his right foot, takes a step
of about six Inches with the left foot,
all these movements being practically
WONDERS, BUT THEY'RE AWFUL ROUGH
vn) isrf.A-vrtw,v Jwja gW i.rtji&4Vt.v.v.-, rt-evX
simultaneous and on the "one" count.
On count "two" the cavalier takes a
step with tho tight foot of about four
Inches, and on count "three" one ot
similar length with the left. These three
steps have, with the co-oporatlng move
ments of his partner, placed him on her
right nnd a little to her rear. On the
cniint ot "four" tho cavalier takes with
Nils right hand his lady's right as she
extends it to him and also seizes her up
raised left hand.
Tho Illustration herewith reproduced,
for which I and my partner posed, shows
tho correct attitude of the dancers In the
cross-over chasse at the completion of
the fourth count, and during moments
ot tho four succeeding counts. Poised on
their loft legs, the dancers first raise,
then lower, their right knees, the raising
coming on the odd count, the lowering
on the oven, thus: "ono" (raise knees),
"two" (lower knees), "three" (raise
knees), "four" (lower again).
On the fourth count the cavalier pre
pares to ,rccros3 behind his lady to tho
position he occupied at the start. Eight
counts have been now consumed, four
for changing and four for the chasse
itself. Tho first count again recurring
tho cavalier takes a short step to his
left to go behind his lady on his left
foot. Count "two" calls for another very
short step on the right foot, and counts
"three" and "four" equally snort steps
to tho left on tho left and right feet.
The lady's part of this evolution calls
tor her (at the beginning of the first
cross-over change) to turn slightly to
her right and take the tiniest possible
step with the right foot on count "one."'
Shu at the same time releases her own
and her partner's left hand and right
arm, and on count "two" takes another
little step (It need not be over two
Inches) wltit the left foot. With count
"three" the lady points the toe of her
right slipper, and on count "four" ex
tends her right arm to her partner's,
Just at his waistline, and raises her left
over her head.
Counts "five," "six," "seven" and
"eight" are for raising and lowering of
the knee, as has been explained. The
next four musical counts are for the as
suming of an "open" position, with a dis
tance ot 12 inches between the dancers,
the cavalier on his Jady'a left, holding
her left hand. The Jady takes on count
"one" a very short step -with tho right
foot, 'on count "two" a similar step with
the rljht footriand on coltiit "three"
transfers her weight to Jter left foot.
With the fourth count th dancers are
now standing at each other's sides ready
for the forward glide, which I will take
up In the next article.
