right-side pass into closed position

·1 min
Dance West Coast Swing

The footwork and most of the handwork is the same as in a right-side inside turn.

  • Use it from an open hold.
  • On 2, the follower will turn and her back should be visible by the end of step 2.
    • Immediately when the follower’s back is visible, place your right-hand fingers in between her shoulder blades.
    • As the follower rotates, the right hand will be flat against the shoulder blade, achieving a closed position.
  • On 3&4 make step 4 bigger.
  • On 5&6 also make steps bigger than usual to close the gap between you and the follower, otherwise there will be a lot of space between you both, as if you were in an open position.
