Basket whip with arm escape

Start from an [open] or [parallel] position. Everything is the same as a [basket whip] up to 4. Don’t let your right hand go of the follower’s left hand for the entire pattern. On 5 let go of your left hand. You should be standing perpendicular to the follower, looking at 9 o’clock while she looks at 6 o’clock. Your right arm should be extended across the followers back, with your hand pressed directly under the follower’s armpit-to-shoulder-blade fleshy part. Your right hand should rotate 45 degrees in a counter-clockwise, pronating motion around the follower’s right shoulder-blade-armpit section. In other words, your hand must not be at her waist level or her neck level. This rotation will encourage the follower to duck slightly. If the follower does not know to duck, release the right hand and gracefully toss it from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock before putting it by your waist. She should have escaped by 6. You may choose to skip the footwork after you reach 5. On 7&8 you are still perpendicular to the follower, looking at 9 o’clock. The follower should move toward 12 o’clock while facing 6 o’clock the entire time and then anchor. You should end in an [goofy], perpendicular handshake.
