Follower

Lady completes the turn with feet between 1-2, making 2nd step 'side and slightly back'.
Q: RF to side and slightly back | Backing DW | T | 1/4 between 1-2. Body turns less | Up
Q: LF back in CBMP | Backing DW | T | -- | Up
Traveling backwards in outside partner position: Think about lengthening/stretching/swinging the right side as Lady takes the head left, not rotating the body. If the body just rotates, the center tends to go backwards.
Arms belong to partner. Head left to balance. Stretch body and stay connected to Man.
Q: RF diag back | Backing DW | T | -- | Up
Q: LF crosses in front of RF | Backing DW | T | -- | Up
Q: RF diag back | Backing DW | TH | -- | Up. Lower e/o 6
S: LF back in CBMP | Backing DW | T | -- | CBM
