Week 4 of Sally

October 27, 2005

1,2,3,5,6,7 cross body lead ending with R-R hold
1,2,3,5,6,7 prepare and lead partner to a stationary clockwise double turn
1,2,3,5,6,7 leader’s pivot full clockwise turn followed by hook half turn with hand-toss occurring around 5 (counterclockwise motion for the toss) – on 8 facing away from partner with R hand offered at waist level for reconnection of R-R
1,2,3 open break – move to open cross body lead position
5,6,7 lead follower into traveling counterclockwise full turn into a position somewhat like Titanic (with only R-R outstretched and with L hand on follower’s L shoulder in part to stop further turn by follower)
1,2,3,5,6,7 prepare (lower arms and back up on 1,2,3) and lead follower to a 1 1/2 stationary clockwise turn
1,2,3 open break and exchange places to get into sweetheart’s position (or like Once) and connect L-L with leader's palm up
5,6,7 using L-L only for leading, lead follower backwards – leader’s ideal footwork is R foot to R on 5, L foot cross behind R foot on 6, R foot to R on 7 – relative position for leader and follower throughout here should be just like cross body lead at beat 4
1,2,3 stylized start of cross body lead (R-R lead slightly towards the leader and L-L into the follower – L foot could extend to L on 1 … then get back to cross body lead position)
5,6,7 lead follower to traveling full clockwise turn with all connections intact – L-L starts forward on 5 then goes high and around ending behind follower’s back R waist and R-R follows L-L around ending high and slightly behind follower’s L ear – ideally leader should be positioned behind and slightly to R of follower
1,2,3 tricky bit – needs careful lead and follower with relaxed arms – go around follower in front to get into cross body lead position – on 1, R-R is to be placed behind follower’s L waist – on 3/4 R-R is behind follower’s L waist and L-L is behind follower’s R waist
5,6,7 using L-L (and letting go R-R) lead follower to traveling 1 1/2 counterclockwise turn … also try to have R foot stepping forward on 7
1,2,3 I think in some ways, this is trickiest of it all – ideal footwork is L foot cross behind R foot while L-L is used to give a hat for the leader and disconnected on 1 – on 2, R hand is on follower’s back shoulder while L hand is offered to get into cross body lead position early – on 3, turn as a unit about 90 degrees counterclockwise to create a new line
5,6,7 finish simple cross body lead
