Upright posture is required throughout. The dance follows a counter-clockwise circular pattern but the start and succeeding steps may be located anywhere around the circle. Once established, however, no shift of pattern is acceptable on subsequent sequences. The clockwise rotation must be controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partners should skate close together in Kilian postilion throughout and particular care should be taken to avoid any separation and coming together of the partners. The man\u2019s right hand should clasp the lady\u2019s right hand and keep it firmly pressed on her right hip to avoid separation. The man\u2019s left hand should clasp the lady\u2019s left hand so that her left arm is firmly extended across his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inventor \u2013 Karl Schreiter<br>First Performance \u2013 Vienna, Engelmann Ice Rink, 1909<\/p><p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music \u2013 March 2\/4 and 4\/4Tempo \u2013 58 measures of 2 beats per minute\u2013 29 measures of 4 beats per minute-116 beats per minutePattern \u2013 OptionalDuration \u2013 The time required [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":34245,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_gspb_post_css":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-42814","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"et-pb-post-main-image":false,"et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth":false,"et-pb-portfolio-image":false,"et-pb-portfolio-module-image":false,"et-pb-portfolio-image-single":false,"et-pb-gallery-module-image-portrait":false,"rpwe-thumbnail":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Team IDC","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/author\/idcadmin\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Music \u2013 March 2\/4 and 4\/4Tempo \u2013 58 measures of 2 beats per minute\u2013 29 measures of 4 beats per minute-116 beats per minutePattern \u2013 OptionalDuration \u2013 The time required [&hellip;]","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P7GOSM-b8y","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42814"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42816,"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42814\/revisions\/42816"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
