Move description
Start this move by turning the lady 360o anti-clockwise (or execute it during an anti-clockwise turn of another move),
  • As lady exits her turn to face you, turn yourself -quickly- 180o anti-clockwise taking right arm in half nelson behind your back,
  • transfer lady's right hand into your left hand behind your back and raise left hand as you exit your turn and encourage lady to step forward and travel - turn anti-clockwise to face you. This is like a travelling return for her (if done correctly it looks like the lady does not stop turning).
  • Exit facing.
  • You have changed places.

  • Comments
    This is a useful transitionary move, (not really a stand alone move as such) often used as part of a routine to add flashiness, or to break up a bout of 'Jiveblock' - the condition where a dancer ends up dancing the same few moves in succession and temporarily cannot think of anything different to break to sequence. This often occurs when a distraction has completely taken his mind off the routine, and once it happens, it can be difficult to get back to the .. ermm. program
