Step	Timing	Movement	Alignment	Footwork	Turn	Sway	CBM	Rise & Fall	Notes
1	1	LF fwd	Facing LOD	HT	Start to turn L	S	CBM	Start to rise e/o 1	Options: keep head closed, or open to PP (especially when dancing extra bar of music)
2	2	RF side and LF brushes towards RF	Facing center to end facing DC against LOD	T	1/4 btwn 1-2; continue to turn 1/4 on 2	L	-	Continue to rise on 2	Do not shape from lower waist area. Think about high jump, "up and over", pick up center,  When developing the shape, do not take arms back, leave arms to Man, extend.
3	3	LF diag. fwd	Facing DC against LOD	TH	-	S	-	Up. Lower e/o 3
4	1	RF fwd in CBMP, OP	Facing DC against LOD	H	-	S	CBM	-

The rise will draw LF close to RF, use leg muscle, L side to Man as well. Articulate head during count 2-3-4-5. Breathe, body to Man to create more shape.
