2 6 SWEDISH SONG GAMES
left and stop with appelle, so that odd couples are now on the right
and even couples on the left in a straight line across, 9-10. The boys
of odd couples, pushing their partners backward before them, take three
long steps obliquely forward to right, and stop with appelle. At the
same time boys of even couples, drawing their partners with them, take
three long steps obliquely backward to left and stop with appelle, so
that odd couples are now on the left side and evemon the right, 11-12.
This exchange of place from right to left, and from left to right,
continues until each couple has reached its starting place, 13-16, 1-16, —
24 measures in all.
Note. When a couple during the dance reach the extreme front or rear, they remain
in place during two measures; they then continue the dance, returning in the same way
that they came.
FIGURE FOUR.
Each boy keeps his partner’s left hand in his right, and with his
left hand takes the right hand, crossed under her left arm, of the girl
at his left side. Arms are raised to make a continuous row of arches;
through the archway so formed, the girl at the extreme rear, with appelle,
draws after her all the rest in line. When she reaches front, she turns
to the left and draws the line into a semicircle so large that when she
reaches her starting place the last couple will have passed through the
arches. She stops; her partner, still in line, makes a half-turn to the
left under her left arm, and resumes his place facing her; under their
raised arms he brings forward the girl at his left hand, who raises her
arms above her head and with whole turn to the right, resumes her
starting position. Dance continues in this way until every one has
resumed the starting position of Figure Four; the figure is then
repeated. When finished, all await the end of the refrain.
FIGURE FIVE
Couples, raising arms, again form archway, through which the girl
of rear couple again draws line as in Figure Four, but into a circle.
When all are through the archway, the boy of leading couple (last in
line) runs, still in line, to center of circle and stops. His partner
