Drat! I only saw the first post. Sorry for being late to the dance and
jumping in. It's still got strange timing, not that it matters, since the
dance is so flowy.

In a poussette, someone "pushes" (french: poussez) and someone pulls
(not-french: poulet :-).  In Joyride, the woman pushes, or the man pulls,
taking his partner with him. The couples lead out four steps, then, slightly
to the left, back in four steps (with the woman backing up) to trade places
with the other couple in the set of four.

There are other poussettes, like the draw poussette, where the man (or the
woman) keeps on backing up while the couples trade places, rather like a toy
train going around the christmas tree.
