Note: Some of these steps can be combined. For example, the leader might call Čuješ, Skoče, Čuješ. This is the same as Tri Čuješ, except that the middle step is a skoče instead of a čuješ. Once you have learned the names of the basic steps, these are relatively easy to figure out.

Also, keep in mind, especially if you're dancing with a group that you don't normally dance with, that the leader may call other steps. Generally, the steps are not difficult and you can follow them easily. Also, if no steps are being called, feel free to do whichever ones you wish. However, be sure that you move to the R or L the same amount that everyone else is.
