    A great move for posers. Many people seem to dance the full backhander where the lady spins 1.5 times quickly but this is different so a clear lead has to be given (even verbal if necessary) to stop her turning.
    IF you commit with a clear lead she'll have no choice but to exit and watch your pose, if you don't you'll probably end up in a right tangle!
