vance and retreat; four gentlemen ditto at the same time; then each turns his partner to places. (5th eight bars.) _Grande chaine_ again. Second and side couples repeat the whole figure in succession, each couple taking its turn to lead off, as the first had done. _Grande chaine_ between each figure and in conclusion. * * * * * VII.--THE LANCERS FOR SIXTEEN, OR DOUBLE LANCERS. _1st figure_.--Two first ladies and _vis-a-vis_ gentlemen begin at the same moment, and go through the figure as in Single Lancers. All _balancez_ to corners; in other words, each lady sets to gentleman at her right, who turns her to her place. Second couples and sides repeat as usual. _2nd Figure_.--First couples advance, retreat, advance again, leaving ladies in centre; set to partners and turn to places. Two side couples nearest first couples join them; two side couples nearest second couples do the same, thus forming eight in each line. They all advance and retreat, holding hands, then turn partners to places. Repeated by second and side couples as usual. _3rd Figure_.--First ladies advance and stop; _vis-a-vis_ gentlemen ditto; courtesy profoundly, bow, and back to places. Ladies do the _moulinet_, gentlemen go round outside, and back to places. Or, ladies advance and courtesy to each other and then to partners; gentlemen, doing the same when the second and fourth couples begin the figure, as in Single Lancers. _4th Figure_.--First couples advance to couples on their right; bow and courtesy; cross to opposite side, bow and courtesy, _chassez croisez_, and return to places. Right and left to opposite places, and back again. Second couples and sides repeat figure. _5th Figure_.--_Grande chaine_ all round, pausing at the end of every eight bars to bow and courtesy; continue _chaine_ back to places, which will occupy altogether thirty-two bars of the music. Figure almost the same as in Single Lancers. Both first couples lead round, side couples falling in behind, thus forming four sets of lines. Figure repeated by second and side couples; _grande chaine_ between each figure and at the conclusion. * * * * * VIII.--COULON'S DOUBLE QUADRILLE. This quadrille contains the same figures as the common quadrille, but so arranged that they are danced by four instead of two couples. All quadrille music suits it; and it occupies just half the time of the old quadrille. I
