1,2,3,5,6,7. cross body lead ending in open position (L-R hold only)
1. pull first to lead partner towards me then push to wrap partner (partner turns clockwise)
2,3. while I move slightly to right and forward to end next to partner hip-to-hip) as wrap is completed
5,6,7. pull to unwrap as I step back on 5
1,2,3. get to cross body lead position on
5.6.7. complete cross body lead again ending with open position
1,2,3,4. repeat except right hand on partner's right shoulder on 3,4 (for optional help in turn)
5,6.7. unwrap on 5 and raise hand (left hand) for another turn by partner (anticlockwise turn) thus ending in open position
1,2,3. could wrap myself by moving forward and left while turning counterclockwise

3 variations to get out
opt. 1 unwrap self (while getting the other hand and keeping it raised)
opt. 2 go back and underneath
opt. 3 switch hand on 3 (use right hand to get partner's right - note. I was using my left hand to wrap myself) and get partner's left hip using my left hand and spin partner clockwise

Another "Sombrero"-like
