Move number 172

Move description

In as Basket - basket backwards, now it changes:

raise left hand a little and then right hand and step to the left of the lady and infront of her turning 180^o clockwise,

you finish infront of her, your back to her and take left hand to left shoulder and right hand to right shoulder,

without delay, let them drop down to left hand behind your back,

lead her forward and so she turns 180^o anti-clockwise under your left arm in a bowling motion (a bit like a catapult)

Lady finishes to face you.

Comments

This move should be danced quickly. It has several uses, not least when you have got fairly bored of doing basic baskets. Also has excellent potential as a basket escape route for those times you are stuck in Jivelock and can only think of one move. The basket. Well .. now theres another basket. The basket around. Quite.
