Okay, so in this fifth combination we are going to use some elements that you learned already in lessons number one and two, we are going to use the cross body lead and we are going to use the right turns. So a quick review of the right turns stepping forward with the left foot, keeping the right foot in place. One, two, three, back and close, you are going to use this; we are going to use the cross body lead.
Gentlemen, this time what we are going to do is called the Drop catch, your foot work is going back on the left and you are going to do half turns, your are going to break to the side and you are going to turn in the opposite direction and then break to the side and come back and we are going to demonstrate this for you right now.
Going back on the left foot, you got one, two, three, right left right, left right left, right left right. So you only have to turn 180 degrees, they are easy simple turns but you always got to keep the standing like in place. If you are taking this eye break to the right, your left foot stays in place, if you go to the left, your right foot stays in place, it is the same with the turn. Back on the left, back and together, side and close, side and close, back and together. Okay, that is going to be your standard footwork so watch Janis, you can follow him from behind.
Back step on the left, back and together, side and turn, side and turn, back and close and basic and basic. One more time, back and close, side break and turn, break and turn, five, six, seven and basic and basic.
Now, ladies for you all you are going to do is back break, right turn, back break, right turn again, so watch it. Back and close, she turns right, she turns right again, five six, seven and basic and basic. So now, what we have left are the gentlemen’s arms. Gentlemen, you are going to take a back break, keeping the hands low. Back, bring it up to center she turns, as you turn you are going to lead your hand low enough that it comes over your shoulder.
Now, your right arm is going to come down here, so that when you release your hand it has an obvious place to go okay, watch that again. Back and close she turns, drop it, you got to give it a place to land and then she turns again basic and basic. Watch one more time. Back and together she turns and the hand, see what happened there? If you let go here, you need to have something visible for here to land on otherwise, so watch it again.
