sugar push inside pivot turn into closed

·1 min

West Coast SwingSugar pushes

  • Start in an open left position.
  • The footwork is the same as a sugar push inside pivot turn, and the handwork is the same up to step 3&.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • End in a closed position.
