This step can be very showy.

For The Leaders:

  • Remember to let your right arm slide out
  • Help the follower over pivot by giving her a little extra momentum at the end of her normal sized pivot
  • Maintain your axis
  • Study the placement of your sacada-ing foot

For The Followers:

  • Let your left arm slide as much as you need so that you are almost turning away from the leader
  • Step long
  • Remember to step long with your whole body, pushing forward a little through the lower core
  • Slightly face back towards the leader with your head and upper body but don't contort your body to get more facing.
