Right-side outside turn
·1 min
I think Damon calls it a Dallas turn.
Start in a [handshake] position. On 1 step back at 6:00 with the left foot, on 2 step back at 6:00 with the right foot such that you face 3:00 while raising your right hand to the follower’s face level, making sure your right hand is aligned with the follower’s right-shoulder. Make sure to pull the follower back on steps 1 and 2, not just 1. On 2.5 give the follower a slight [right] prep (like 1.5 inches). On 3&4 lead an outside turn while doing regular right-side pass footwork. This pattern will not work well if you are not facing 3:00 by 3 and allow the follower to have the full slot. On 5&6 do an anchor step. You should end in a [handshake] position.
Next pattern suggestion:
- [head drape into starter] position
