Trying out Cristian & Dee Intermediate

March 23, 2005

cross body closed
cross body open change hands to R-R
prep on 1,2,3
get hold of L-L as well as double spin is encouraged (I think single spin should be fine too) for partner on 5,6,7 (note. after the first spin, quickly drop L-L to under R-R... at the end L-L is on top of R-R)
open break on 1
Titanic on side (clockwise 90 for me & anti-clockwise 90 for partner) on 2,3
right hand goes to waist on 4
lead partner to left (left hand up) on 5... 1 1/2 turn counterclockwise for partner on 5,6 but keep left hand low (at 8, L-L should be around and front of partner's waist...also ideally I should be positioned slightly to right of partner while facing the same direction)
get partner's R (R-R) hand on 1 get to cross body lead position with R-R high on 2,3 (footwork is forward on 1, in place and start to turn counterclockwise 90 on 2, opposite direction on 3 as turn is finished)
finish cross body with turn (1 1/2 clockwise?) with R-R high ... while L-L goes to break position leave partner's L hand behind her back left waist...let go after first 1/2 turn and get hold of L-L again behind her back on 5,6,7 ... we're facing each other on 8 [note. this is another place where 1/2 turn would be sufficient]
get to another cross body lead position on 1,2,3 as R-R goes over partner's head on 1 and my R hand goes to partner's back for cross body (keep L-L as is)
lead partner forward on 5, partner does 1 1/2 counterclockwise turn (keep L-L)
do a pivot turn on 1,2,3 (L-L ends up behind my back)
fancy R hand work to loosen L-L ...first goes over and to front right of L-L ...lift L-L from underneath and break L-L ...keep going around ...go under again and raise partner's hand to my R shoulder)
cross body lead open end
back together forward together (Guapeando?) 3 times
