=== Single Step ===

The single step is used to move forward.

Field Town does not traditionally use single steps.  However, in the unlikely event that a dancer needs to move forward during [[dances:fieldtown:figures:hop-back|hop backs]], single steps are substituted.

The pattern is "1-hop 2-hop," like skipping.  However, the legs are mostly straight and slightly in front of the dancer (like with [[dances:fieldtown:figures:double-step|double steps]]).  As with double steps, on the hop the free leg comes up and kicks (with the toe held up--not pointed) so the bells get a nice ring.

Hankie or stick movements should be the same as for whichever step the single step is replacing.
