Female: Those moves that we just did are the Underarm Turn, the He Goes and the Reverse Turn. And now, we will show you step by step how to do those three turns.
Male: Every time we are going to be teaching a new move. We will first show you what to do with the position—and with your foot work and then how to put it all together and combined the three moves. The first move, the underarm turn, we start out in close position. So, gentlemen with your right hand across your back, across your partners back and your left hand dominant in her waist, what you are going to do is make a tunnel with your left hand by raising the left hand and then pushing on her back, send her through there.
Female: Ladies, we do not go until we feel that push on our back. He might decide to go under his own arm so we need to wait.
Male: Now, as your hands are twisted so naturally you are going to want to untwist them by bringing her back which is the way you complete the move. So, it looks like this. Make the tunnel, send her through, bring her back. Now each of the most we are teaching are on the steps-step of the step-step rock step basic. What happens is we do a basic step, step, rock step and I send her through on the next. Step, step and we face each other again on the rock step then we bring her back on the step, step, rock step, reconnect after the rock step. Let us try that again.
Female: What helps a little bit is I will say get ready as we do the rock step and that is a signal for the leaders to raise up their arm and to start with the turn.
Male: Here we go a basic step—lift your hand.
Female: Get ready and step, step, rock step, step, step, rock step, connect.
Male: Bring her back, reconnect.
Female: Step, rock step, step.
Male: Leads do not reconnect too soon. That is a common problem. Step, step, rock step.
Female: Get ready and step, step, rock step, step, step, rock step, connect.
Male: Now, wait guys, reconnect.
Female: Step, rock step, step.
Male: Back into a basic. Another common problem is with the women’s footwork on this move.
Female: Ladies when we get ready to do our turn and he gives us a push, we step out on our right. We pivot, we step on our left and we rock step. We sometimes tend to rush it. We want to get there right away, so we are ready for the rock step. But we have plenty of time so if you are rushing it, just slow down a little bit.
Male: Let us try it a couple of times with the music at two different angles.
Female: Listen for the beat.
Male: 5, 6, a basic then we go.
Female: Then we go.
Male: And step.
Female: Step, step, get ready and step.
Male: Make the tunnel.
Female: Step, rock step, step, rock step, connect, step, rock step, step.
Male: Again go.
Female: Step, rock step, bring her back, step, rock step, connect, step, rock step, step.
Male: Let us try it from over here, 5, 6, a 5, 6, 7, 8.
Female: Here we go. Step, step, rock step, step. Step, rock step, step. Step, step, rock step, connect.
Male: Again.
Female: Step, step, rock step, step. Step, rock step, connect. Step, rock step, step.
Male: Now, sometimes this move is called switching places because after our hands are twisted over here, I am going to take a big step with my left foot across on her right side like this.
Female: This is on the return turn.
Male: So that she does not have to travel this far. And watch that again. Step, step, a rock step, send her.
Female: He is sending me out. This is the return.
Male: Now, step, switch places and a rock step, step.
Female: It makes it easier to face back up to connect once again with each other.
Male: Let us try this music from behind the following, 5, 6, a 5, 6, 7, 8.
Female: Here we go. Step, step, get ready and send her out, rock step, return, rock step connect.
Male: Again.
Female: Rock step, send her, step, rock step, step. Step, rock step, connect. Step, rock step, step. Good.
Male: Okay, on the DVD you can practice that with a loop you will see later on. Now, we are going to teach the he Goes. This time when we reconnect after that move, we are going to reconnect in open position. Gentlemen, you are going to raise your left hand again, make that same tunnel and stepping with your left foot after the rock step. You go under your own hand, pivot.
Female: This is a turn for the guys.
Male: Rock step. Watch that again. I will make the tunnel by lifting my left hand. I go a left, right, rock step. I step left. Plant my right foot and rock step.
Female: Ladies, what we are doing with our feet as he is going under the tunnel we are crossing our body with our right foot. We are pivoting on that right foot. We come back down to our left and we rock step on our right together with our partner.
Male: Let us try that with the music.
Female: One basic and then we go.
Male: 5, 6, a 5, 6, 7, 8, basic.
Female: Here we go and step, step, get ready and He Goes.
Male: Get ready guys make the tunnel.
Female: Step, rock step, step. Step, rock step, He Goes.
Male: Again.
Female: Step, rock step, step. Step, rock step, across your body, rock step, step. Step, rock step, step.
Male: Let us try it from this angle, 5, 6, a 5, 6, 7, 8.
Female: Here we go, step, step, get ready and He Goes. Step, rock step, step, step, rock step, step. Step, rock step, step, one more time.
Male: In this angle, a 5, 6, a 5, 6, 7, 8.
Female: Step, step, get ready and He Goes. Step, rock step, step. One more time, get ready and He Goes, rock step, step. Step, rock step, step.
Male: Okay good. You can see why it is called the He Goes.
