  • Start in a righty position. Same as a head drape up to step 2.

  • For the handwork, on 3&4, rather than sliding your right arm down the follower’s left arm, you will slide your right hand under the follower’s left armpit to go into a closed position; curl your wrist and fingers before you slide your right hand under the armpit and smoothly twist your wrist from 9:00 to 6:00 to 3:00 like drawing the letter U with your wrist as you slide under the armpit; at the same time on 3&4, grab the follower’s right hand with your left hand as if going in an open position.

  • For the footwork, on 4, you will step towards 12:00 with your left toes pointing at 10:30.

  • On 5&6 do an anchor step; end facing 9:00 with your body and toes; be in a starter position.
