152.
Circassian
Circle.
The
company
is
arranged
in
couples
round
the
room--the
ladies
being
placed
on
the
right
of
the
gentlemen,--after
which,
the
first
and
second
couples
lead
off
the
dance.

Polka.
In
the
polka
there
an
but
two
principal
steps,
all
others
belong
to
fancy
dances,
and
much
mischief
and
inconvenience
is
likely
to
arise
from
their
improper
introduction
into
the
ball-room.
First
step.
The
gentleman
raises
the
left
foot
slightly
behind
the
right,
the
right
foot
is
then
hopped
with,
and
the
left
brought
forward
with
a
glissade.
The
lady
commences
with
the
right,
jumps
on
the
left,
and
glissades
with
the
right.
The
gentleman
during
his
step
has
hold
of
the
lady's
left
hand
with
his
right.
Second
step.
The
gentleman
lightly
hops
the
left
foot
forward
on
the
heel,
then
hops
on
the
toe,
bringing
the
left
foot
slightly
behind
the
right.
He
then
glissades
with
the
left
foot
forward;
the
same
is
then
done,
commencing
with
the
right
foot.
The
lady
dances
the
same
step,
only
beginning
with
the
right
foot.
There
are
a
variety
of
other
steps
of
a
fancy
character,
but
they
can
only
be
understood
with
the
aid
of
a
master,
and
even
when
well
studied,
must
be
introduced
with
care.
The
polka
should
be
danced
with
grace
and
elegance,
eschewing
all
outré
and
ungainly
steps
and
gestures,
taking
care
that
the
leg
is
not
lifted
too
high,
and
that
the
dance
is
not
commenced
in
too
abrupt
a
manner.
Any
number
of
couples
may
stand
up,
and
it
is
the
privilege
of
the
gentleman
to
form
what
figure
he
pleases,
and
vary
it
as
often
as
his
fancy
and
taste
may
dictate.
