[Demo] Male: The next move that we are going to teach is called the ‘open-up.’ It is a little bit different as far as the foot pattern goes than the other moves we’ve been teaching. But bear with us, it is pretty easy. Let’s start in closed position. Now, normally in closed position, you have your hand across your partner’s back right in the middle. In this move, when you are going to the rock step, you are going to be holding on all the way through the opposite hip. But first, on the rock step we do two steps, step-step. And on the rock step, push her with your left hand as you go way back with your rock and across your hip and you open up side by side. Female: Ladies, what I am feeling is a big push and I am feeling that because I resist him. I have strength in my arm and I am pushing against him a little bit and I feel him push and open me up to his side. He catches me around my waist. Male: Notice our hand positions—this is a visual signal as well as the style. Move. Female: And ladies, we keep our arm up because it looks nicer than just hanging our arm down by our side. Male: Let us try that part, two times—just two steps and then we open up. Female: Step, step, and open up. Male: Really bring your back with you. Female: It got to be strong otherwise she is not going to feel it. [Demo] Male: One more time and we count it off. Female: Here we go, step, step, and rock step. Male: Now, what I am going to do is roll her around with my right hand as I scoop under her arm and on her waist with my left and we open up again. Female: And we rock step, but this time we rock step on her opposite foot. Ladies, we rock step on our left and leaders you rock step on your right. Keep your arm open. That is in the outside. Male: Then, we step together again, and guys go back on their left, ladies on the right. Let us give it a try. Female: Two steps, open up, together, open up, together. [Demo] Male: Let us try that part again from a different angle. [Demo] Female: Here we go, step, step and open up step, open up, step. Male: Again, this time we keep going. [Demo] Female: Step, step, and open up step, open up, step, open up step, open up step. Male: Now, with this move, you have two choices. You can either keep doing the open up until the end of the song or you can learn how to end it. So, we are not saving that for the next tape. We will teach you that right now. When you do your fifth open up or any odd number, guys, you back on your left foot. Female: And we are on our right, we are rock stepping in our right foot. Male: Think of that as a rock step of a basic. Present your left hand? Female: Ladies we take it right away. Male: And step in front of her. Cut her off.
