Basic movements

Quadrille - pair dance. Quadrille movements are performed by both partners. The quadrille has several varieties - circular and angular quadrille. A choreographic drawing consists of several stages, which are called figures. By the principle of its movements, the quadrille recalls a whole history of dating and the development of relations between two lovers.

Dance figures

The first dance figure is called dating. The guy with the girl are facing each other. The girl is standing to the right of the audience, her partner is on the left side. The pair moves to the center of the hall, where they greet the right hand, after which several rotations are made, using simple steps that start from the heel, followed by a triple influx, and the partners disperse.

The second figure is walking. Partners move in a circle, taking four steps that alternate with triple tributaries. After the pair has passed the circle, it returns to its original place. Standing in place, the partners perform the rotation, after which the hands rise up and connect. Under the hands of one pair, the following pairs pass in the dance, and stand in their places, this is called a trickle.

The third figure is a detour. Both partners simultaneously take steps, drawing a square, but do not turn to face each other. At the completion of the steps, both partners will be in a position facing each other. After the last step, the guy and girl join hands.

Fourth figure. Both partners perform springy movements, after which they approach one step towards each other, the legs are slightly bent at the knees. Having approached, partners align their legs, and repeat movements, again bending their knees slightly. Such elements of the dance must be repeated, performing them synchronously.

The fifth figure is a successor. The girl walks past her partner, and goes to another dancer, at this time the partner comes to the girl from another pair. Thus, all couples change their partners. It is necessary to make such a shift until the partner reunites with her original partner. So the dance ends.
