Basically, all dancers form a circle with hands joined, each gentleman does the balance with the woman to his left (called his "corner"), then with the woman to the right, then repeats the two balances then dances two tours of waltz (4 measures of music) with his corner and at the end passes the corner to his right (so that each gentleman now has a new corner). This may continue until the music ends or until a signal (e.g., when the caller notices that women passed the complete circle).
All dancers form a circle holding hands; each gentleman performs a balance with the woman to his left and then right, repeating these two balances. They then dance two turns of waltz (four measures) with their current partner before switching partners. This process can continue until the music ends or a signal is given.
