Move description
Step back,
  • Step in throwing lady's right hand into right hand (a kind of signal),
  • keeping your right arm bent and not raising it too high, lead the lady to your right and behind,
  • just as she gets there turn a little clockwise and turn her clockwise 1.5 times as she moves to your left side behind you.
  • Quickly turn the other way ( anti-clockwise) to help her back round to face.

    This is rated fairly difficult as there is a certain amount of practice needed to get it right but after that it can be impressive to watch. The secret is to keep R arm bent and not too high while turning lady behind.
