Checked First Move (6 counts ; 12 musical beats) : Brief Description

Steps

1: (Step back)

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.

2: (Step in)

The man leads the lady to move forwards and turn 360^o anticlockwise (with weight on her left leg) under his right hand (and the lady's left hand) — by pulling her left hand slightly with his right hand and raising his right hand (and the lady's left hand) from waist height to above the lady's head and slightly to his right — as he moves forwards slightly to the left of the lady's line, so that the lady will come into his right side facing her original direction where the man stops her turn by catching her left hip in his right hand.
