Follower

Step	Timing	Movement	Alignment	Footwork	Turn	Sway	CBM	Rise & Fall	Notes
1	Q	LF fwd	Facing DC	T	start to turn L		CBM	Rise e/o preceding step. Up.	Lady completes the turn with feet between 1-2, making 2nd step 'side and slightly back'.
2	Q	RF to side and slightly back	Backing DW	T	1/4 between 1-2. Body turns less			Up
3	Q	LF back in CBMP	Backing DW	T	--			Up	Traveling backwards in outside partner position: Think about lengthening/stretching/swinging the right side as Lady takes the head left, not rotating the body. If the body just rotates, the center actually goes backwards.  Arms belong to partner. Head left to balance. Stretch in the body is the connecting point.
4	Q	RF diag back	Backing DW	T	--			Up
5	Q	LF crosses in front of RF	Backing DW	T	--			Up
6	Q	RF diag back	Backing DW	TH	--			Up. Lower e/o 6
7	S	LF back in CBMP	Backing DW	T	--		CBM
