head drape

·1 min
Dance West Coast Swing

→ West Coast Swing → Sugar pushes

Same as a hairbrush, but the hand goes over the follower’s head. Also known as a head-wrap.

  • Start in a righty position; a lefty hold also works.
  • The footwork is the same as in a sugar push; only the handwork changes. For the head-wrap, bring your right and her right hand to her nose level on 1 while stepping back.
  • On 2, move your right hand from her nose level to her nape and leave her right hand on her nape.
  • On 3&4 slide your right hand down her left arm to go into a right handhold and post to avoid moving further down the slot.
  • On 5&6 do an anchor step. You should end in a right position.

If you start in a lefty position, the head drape would end in an open position.
