Polsterltanz

Pairs in a big circle.

Dance:

A surplus dancer (boy) with a pillow stays in the circle and chooses a girl, while laying the pillow before her feet. Both kneel on the pillow and kiss the other, after that they dance a short waltz.

After that the boy leaves the circle and the girl chooses a boy in the same way as the boy before. The last dance to remain in the circle will be swept with jeers from the other.

After the description, no special melody is played. For the first part march-music shall be used, for the 2nd part a waltz.
