Most Paul Jones-style mixers are similar to the one found in the manual Dancing Made Easy (New York, c1919-1922): the dancers form a circle of couples, or possibly two concentric circles, each operating separately, if the numbers are too great. They perform a grand right and left, then at the leader’s signal dance a one-step with the next person in the chain. The 1903 Round Two-Step (described here) is quite similar, except that the dance of choice is a two-step.
But in the mid-1920s English manual Foulsham’s Modern Dancing, by Maxwell Stewart, a more elaborate version is described.
