sugar push outside pivot turn

Also known as a Sugar Tuck.

• On 1 step back, on 2 raise your left hand to the follower’s ear level such that the hands are palm-to-palm.
• The leader’s hand can be pointing straight up at 12 o’clock or angled, pointing at 10 o’clock.
• The left arm should be kept close to the body before and after the turn, as if holding a piece of paper under the armpit, even during the turn.
• On 3&4 do the rock step while slightly pressing into the followers raised hand. The follower should press your hand back with the same amount of force to achieve compression.
• The turn should begin immediately on 4 after the compression was created on 3& and movement forwards has begun.
• The turn should be completed in one beat so there is time for the follower to anchor on the 5&6.
