whip with two outside turns into over-rotated open

→ West Coast Swing → Whips

• Start in a open left position.
• The footwork and handwork are exactly the same as a [whip with an outside turn] up to an including step 6.
• A common error is to begin leading the outside turn before 6 rather than at the end of 6. Perform a whip with two outside turns.
• On 7 step forward towards 12 o’clock such that your right foot points at 3 o’clock while leading one full outside pivot turn with the left hand,
• On 8 lead another outside pivot turn while you turn to face 3 o’clock.
• End in an over-rotated open position because you face 3 o’clock as opposed to 12 o’clock and because the follower face 9 o’clock instead of 6 o’clock.

• [shadow position into sweetheart into righty handhold] Note that steps 7, 8, and 1 should be done in one fluid motion to maintain angular momentum.
