The pairs are embraced, placed in a circle. They start by taking two lateral steps towards the interior of the circle and them return to the initial position. Next, they give two lateral steps away from the circle and them return to the initial position. After, the pairs "waltz" embraced by spinning in the same place, as the big circle rotates inverse clockwise until the end of the musical passage. At this point everything, music and choreography, start all over again.
