Men hold arms in natural dance position. Women use both hands on skirt, moving skirt forward and back to avoid opposite dancer. Dancers should maintain eye contact over their shoulders until their partners become visible.
Comment
Square dancing is evolving towards a preference for “Walk Around the Corner” instead of “All Around The Left-Hand Lady”, which requires the women to mentally translate the command to “All Around The Right-Hand Man”.
