Follower

Step	Timing	Movement	Alignment	Footwork	Turn	Sway	CBM	Rise & Fall	Notes
1	S	RF fwd	Facing DC	HT			CBM	start to rise e/o 1	This is often the last step of previous figure.
2	Q	LF fwd L side leading	Facing DC	T				continue to rise on 2 and 3	(Left side leading doesn't mean power comes from left side. It means left side is in front of the body.) Left side is picked up through diagonal. Right shoulder is connected down.  Keep right side moving through the Man, that's where power comes out of.
3	Q	RF crosses behind LF	Facing DC	T				--
4	S	LF fwd, preparing to step OP	Facing DC	TH				Up, Lower e/o 4
5	S	RF fwd in CBMP, OP	Facing DC	HT				Start to rise e/o 5
6	Q	LF fwd	Facing DC	T	start to turn L		CBM	Continue to rise on 6	Take head and spine to left foot to make the turn. Don't shape too eager/early which will pull the Man.
7	Q	RF to side and slightly back	Backing DW	TH	1/4 between 6-7 Body turns less			Up. Lower e/o 7	Shape head to right on QQ (step 5 and 6) and return head to normal on last S. RF needs to swivel to left to avoid hitting knee with Man on S
8	S	LF back in CBMP	Backing DW	T			CBM		Head returns to normal left.
