Promenade

Trios in circle round room facing ballroom direction, men in the middle, inner hands joined
Steps
Balance steps
Music
16 bars ¾ tune (waltz)
Dance
Bar 1: The dancer steps forward with his left foot, lifts his right knee swaying his right foot across the left and slightly flexes his left knee. The swayed leg is not stretched; actually only the upper leg is lifted, letting the lower leg hang down.
The girls do the same vice versa (start with their right feet and sway their left legs across the right ones flexing the right knees a bit.) Therefore the toes of the dancer and his left partner nearly meet. These two partners shortly face each other.
At the same time the arms are swayed as well, in this case joined hands of boy and his right partner forward and joined hands of boy and his left partner backward.
Bar 2: Bar 1 is repeated but using the opposite feet, now the hands of the boy and his right partner swing backward and they face each other.
Bar 3 – 16: This is repeated until the music changes the tune. Each bar one step.Part Two: Achterlaufen: (Running eights, similar to straight hey)
