1: (Step back)

The lady faces south directly in front of the man, who faces north.

The man holds the lady's right hand in his left hand.

The man leads the lady to move backwards (stepping back on her right foot in preparation for an anticlockwise rotation) — by pushing her right hand slightly with his left hand — as he moves backwards-left off the lady's line, leaving it free for her to step forwards.

The man leads the lady to move forwards and spin 90o anticlockwise (with weight on her left leg) — by releasing her right hand after pulling it slightly with his left hand — as he moves forwards and spins 90o clockwise (with weight on his right leg).

3: ()

The lady faces east directly in front of the man, who faces east.

There is no handhold.

The man leads the lady to continue to move right — by letting the lady continue, as indicated by his previous lead — as he moves forwards-right.

Some men run their hand across the lady's back as she travels to the right in front of the man, to indicate both partners' relative movements and as a hint to the lady that the man intends to catch her left hand (in his right hand).

The man can optionally lead the lady to sit on his right thigh, by pushing her left shoulder downwards with his left hand.

Instead of a static pose, the man can rock the lady when she is sat on his leg — by swaying his right knee from side to side.
