Note:
Start on short side, Man FDC
This routine has an extra short wall and long wall.
- Prep (1234 5678) ---------- start short wall
- 7: Lady: don't shift to right, keep very left.
- Feather Step (SQQ)
- QQ: side leading, swing R hip and shoulder back, make sure connect middle left side of body to Man, stretch (really both sides are stretching)
- Release R leg faster at the end.
- Bounce Fallaway with Weave Ending (QQQQ QQQQ) starting Man DC, ending Man DW
- It feels like Man stays in the fallaway longer (compared to Fallaway and Slip Pivot).
- Default is a reverse weave action, if leader wants to do fallaway, he will block at the hips, which makes lady open immediately and do a fallaway.
- Lady: articulate head, no rush, smooth.
- Fallaway Reverse and Slip Pivot (QQQQ) Fallaway is along DW, into the corner (not the typical alignment)
- Lady:
- keep head left throughout or turn head to Promenade.
