Behind the back whip into shadow right shoulder catch

Damon calls it a pikaboo whip.

This pattern is the same as a [behind-the-back whip] up to but not including 4. On 4, grab the followers left hand with your left hand and pull your left elbow backwards towards 3:00. This will cause the follower to rotate 0.75 turns clockwise such that you will end up in a shadow position facing 9:00 on 5. Make sure to place your right hand preemptively at her shoulder level so that you will be able to catch the follower right shoulder at the end of 5 and stop her motion so that she will end up in a shadow position. On 5, while still facing 9:00 with your body and feet, you will step slightly backwards and down the slot with your right foot towards 1:00 to create just enough space for crossing the left leg. On 6 step towards 12:00 while crossing on front of the right leg. On 6, as you move down the slot, move the follower’s left hand over her head onto her right shoulder. Make sure there hand goes over her head in an upside-down U shape. On 6, use your right hand, which should be on the follower’s shoulder, to hold her or slightly press her back towards 6:00, otherwise she may think that she is supposed to move down the slot with you. On 7&8 slide your right hand down the follower’s right arm while performing a triple step while moving towards 12:00. You should end in a [handshake] position and be facing 9:00 with your body and toes.

Note: The count for the follower will be different on 5. They will do 5& instead of just 5 because doing the rotation requires a triple step.
