Note
This dance is also known in Sweden under the name “Fyramanna Schottisch”. The name “Kutsche” was used in North Germany. It eventually came to Austria, where it developed to a form of the Rheinländer using step-close-steps (beginning with same feet) instead of the Schottisch steps and only walking steps instead of the hop steps. When the Coach is danced as the end of a Rheinländer potpourri the repetitions are omitted.
