right-side inside turn into starter position

• Start in an open position.
• Steps 1 through 3& are the same as in a right-side inside turn.
• Make sure step 3 is a back step, not a step in place.
• On step 4, do not step into the slot with your left foot. Instead, cross in front of your right leg with your left leg while moving toward the 6 o’clock direction.
• On steps 5&6 uncross your right leg while moving slightly in the 6 o’clock direction. Your steps will be smaller because you should already be in a starter position.

On steps 3& you should be in a shadow position, meaning the follower’s back should be in front of you, so place your right-hand fingertips in between the follower’s shoulder blades. Make there is no gap between you right-hand wrist and the follower’s armpit once you go into starter position.
