For leaning direction: imagine to keep body in a line, when a foot steps back, to keep body in a line, upper body/head would lean forward, when a foot steps forward, body would lean back.

• Natural Roll may start and finish in various alignments, depending on previous figure.
• Less turn may be made (minimum 1/2 over steps 1-6)
• The figure is danced in Contact Position, so the arms are held a little higher than normal.
