Sugar push right shoulder slide

·2 mins

Start in an [open] position. The footwork is the same as in a sugar push. The only difference is the handwork and the middle-body work. The handwork on 1 and 2 is bringing your left hand over your head and then to your right shoulder. The palm of your hand should point up and be parallel to the floor on 1 to create a frame that looks like an upside-down, mirrored letter L (o˥) so that your head will go under the frame. In specific, your left hand should be about 1 inch above your head and the palm of your left hand should be horizontal and your fingers should point at 9 o’clock whenever the hand is over your head, and your left wrist should be aligned with your right ear. At the end of 2, the back your left hand should be pressed against the right side of your neck, so release the follower’s right hand because it has been positioned in your right shoulder. Depending on the follower’s arm-reach and your height, you will need to bend your back on 1 and 2 so that the follower is able to have the right hand go over your head and reach the right shoulder. On 3&4 keep your left hand at the right shoulder while offering your right hand by placing it under-and-in-front of your left elbow. The follower’s hand should slide down your left forearm onto your right hand by the end of 4. You should be in an regular [handshake] or a [spiderman handshake] by the end of 5&6.
