Dance invented and created by Adèle Collier — already in corpus as POWERS-1919-FELDMAN-OS (1919 Feldman's How to Dance the One-Step by Adèle Collier, Dancing Partner of Robert Sielle); this is Collier's 1930 UK Chappell-imprint composed-sequence-dance pamphlet, published eleven years after her earlier Feldman's One-Step appearance. Five named figures (The Walk, The Natural Turn, The Reverse Turn, The Side Step, The Swing Step) that "can be danced in any order" — a modular-sequence-dance structure that anticipates the 1935-1950 English Old Time / Modern Sequence Dance genre. Music by Bennett Scott; "Words and Music by Bennett Scott" — the dance-with-song format characteristic of Chappell-imprint pamphlets (compare POWERS-1912-CHAPPELL-AT for the equivalent 1912 Chappell sheet-music + dance-instruction imprint format). Lady's steps are the same as the Gentleman's, commencing with the opposite foot. From the Richard Powers collection (SevenStep.txt, 47 lines).
