Hustle whip leader outside pivot turn into handshake position

·1 min

A pattern that Howard Rodriguez taught me.

The footwork and handwork are the same as a regular [hustle whip] up to step 4. On 5 and 6 go into a [right shoulder] position by brining your left hand to your right shoulder while still holding onto her right hand and while doing 0.5 turns clockwise (steps 2 and 3 in a salsa right turn). On 5 you should face 9 o’clock. On 6 you should face 3 o’clock. On 7&8 do another 0.5 turns (steps 2 and 3 and another 2 in a salsa right turn) as her right hand slides down your right shoulder and hand into a [handshake] position looking at 9 o’clock.

A good pattern to do after this one is a [trusty left-side-pass].
