 +=== Plain Caper ===
  
 +Plain capers can be used to move forward or can be done in place.  In a few instances, plain capers can be used to turn (gradually).
 +
 +"Slow 1-2." Leap slowly from one foot to the other, landing on beats 2 and 4.  The body should be in motion the entire time.
 +
 +In //hankie dances//, the hankies move exactly like in double steps--down slowly on beats 1 & 2 ending just behind the dancer's back, up on beat 3 and flick at the highest point on beat 4.
 +In stick dances, the tip of the stick is moved down and up with the same timing as with a hankie.
