Shadow Position Into Sweetheart Into Scout Handhold

·2 mins

Shadow position into sweetheart into scout handhold #

Start in an over-rotated [open] position such that you face 3 o’clock as opposed to 12 o’clock and the follower faces 9 o’clock instead of 6 o’clock.

On 1, turn clockwise while passing the follower’s hand from your left hand to your right hand so you face 9 o’clock and have a [handshake] handhold. On 2 your left leg is free, so use it to do a left tap step. On 3 change weight onto your left leg. On 4 do a right tap step. On 5 change your weight onto your right leg and on 6 change your weight onto your left leg, creating a sense of compression and tension that tells the follower to move in the 6 o’clock direction. On 7&8 do a triple step into a sweetheart, meaning you raise your left hand at shoulder level to catch the follower’s left hand. You also bring your hand to follower shoulder height. Hold on 1 and 2 as the follower does a press line. On 2 pull the follower backward while you stand with split weight. On 3&4 triple step backward while entering a [scout] handhold position. There is no anchor.
