Sugar Push Inside Pivot Turn to Closed

Sugar push inside pivot turn into closed position #

The footwork is the same as a [sugar push inside pivot turn], and the handwork is the same up to step 3&. For the handwork, on 3& you should see the follower’s back, so place your right hand onto the followers left shoulder blade to achieve a [closed] position as the turn finishes and you step forward on 4.

Specifically, during the turn, place your right-hand fingers in between the follower shoulder blades. As the follower rotates, the right hand will be flat against the shoulder blade, achieving a closed position. Steps 4, 5&6 may need to be 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.
