| F (Pressure on ball of foot) | The way to know that Man is finishing this figure is the rise and starting of bounce action again.
|
- Start in Closed Position, facing Wall. No bounce. The effect is swinging middle of body forward and back. The sliding of the other foot is the effect of swinging hips. (cause & effect, do not step the foot on its own.)
- May start facing DW. Turn 1/8 R over steps 1-3.
- step 4-7 may be repeated.
- Step 2-7: Man's R leg and Lady's L leg remain slightly flexed and Man's L leg, Lady's R leg swings freely from the hip. Movement is mainly felt from the knee.
- Silver & Gold:
- After step 7: Man may dance 1-7 of Lady's steps. Lady dance Man's. Follow with Natural Basic Movement or Whisk to R.
- May turn up to 3/4 to R. Follow with any figure commenced with RF.
