So it's right foot back, left foot in place, close right foot to left foot, the left foot forward, right foot in place, close right foot to left foot. Then we start it once more right foot back, left foot in place, close right foot to left foot, and now here comes the turn. You start with your left foot left and then right and then close left foot to right foot, so in three steps we are turning one circle around. So once more just the turn; it's left foot, right foot, left foot, so it's left right left and one circle to the right, once more the whole figure.
