Did you know…?
The pousette is one of the most common methods of progression. It is found
in the dances of the late 18th and early 19th century chiefly, and seems to
have been the forerunner of the waltz. Its name comes from the French “pousser”,
to push, and that to a certain extent describes the movement of the man in
this formation. When the [R].S.C.D.S was formed, this form of
progression had lost its original, dignified shape. Probably the
introduction of the waltz had affected it, for instead of the traditional
two-hand hold, partners joined as for a waltz or polka and danced round each
other with a kind of hop waltz step. This led to untidiness and lack of
control, and even to jazzing. The Society returned to the old form of
pousette as it is done today.
