1	S	RF back	Backing DW	TH	Start to turn L	S	CBM	Start to rise e/o 1 NFR	Small CBM through the hip allowing L hip to release back. Step RF back, anchor right shoulder. R hip is moving across inside of right foot which will allow the hip to swing. Body is picked up through strong diagonal.
2	Q	LF to side RF brushes towards LF	Backing LOD	T (LF) then IE of T of RF	1/8 between 1-2	R		Contiue to rise on 2	When traveling backwards, never turn shoulders so you don't cross center line. When going back, upper body is not a rotary motion, body should be stretching diagonal. Lengthen left side. Keep elbows in front of body. Pick up stomach back to spine. Then dissolve the sway.
