Follower

Step	Timing	Movement	Alignment	Footwork	Turn	Sway	CBM	Rise & Fall	Notes
1	S	LF fwd	Facing LOD	HT	start to turn L		CBM	Rise e/o 1	Don't be back-weighted, avoid being steppy, keep smooth motion. Keep left side strongly to the Man all through the steps.
2	Q	RF to side	Backing wall	T	1/4 between 1-2			Up	Swivel RF so R knee won't be in Man's way A series of backward steps - keep body upward and forward toward partner. Lengthen R side of body, take head strongly left, outside of L elbow.  Do not think about rotating upper body to R, which can take spine off standing leg.

4	Q	RF diag back	Backing DW	T	--			Up
5	Q	LF crosses in front of RF	Backing DW	T	--			Up
