Scout Fold Rag Free Spin

Scout fold RAG free spin #

Start in a [scout] position. The footwork is the same as in a [fold] up to but not including 4. On 3& you should be standing on the left side of the slot facing 9 o’clock. On 4 take a step from the left side of the slot to the right side of the slot with you left foot pointing at 5 o’clock and your body facing 6 o’clock. On 4, the goal is to move down the slot as the follower travels and end up to the right of her, not behind of her. On 5&6 you should be facing 3 o’clock. On 7&8 do a triple step so you end up facing 2 o’clock. On 9&10 catch the follower’s hand while doing an anchor. You should end in an [open] position. Notice that there is not a lot of travel in the 5&6 because you are unwinding the follower; she cannot travel. On 7&8 there may not be a lot of travel either; the spin begins on 7, so there is not a lot of travel that can happen on 7.

As for the handwork, on 1 lead the follower back with the left hand. On 1.5 do a [left] prep. On 3&4 wrap the back of your left hand on the follower’s right side of the waist. On 4 the follower should be facing 6 o’clock and you should be facing 9 o’clock. On 5&6 unwind the follower so she faces 12 o’clock. This is the equivalent of steps 1 and the [left] prep in a [free spin]. For styling, on 5&6 you may choose to hold the follower’s left forearm with your right hand. On 7&8 give the follower a counter-clockwise spin. On 9&10 catch the follower’s hand. You should end in an [open] position.
