  • Catch with right hand.
  • Return lady 360o anti-clockwise to face.

    The lady can spin twice if she is feeling flashy enough and the mans lead is strong enough. She gets most of her momentum from the man pushing her round. The man helps with the balance by pushing with his right hand on her left hip to start the spin. A nice jive variation of the beginners armjive. Ceroc still mark this as a beginners move.
