Comb: Notes

Obviously, combs can be “undone”, so that the leader uncombs the follower (immediately).

Can do consecutive man combs (leading the lady closer and closer and closer…)

A different style is to release the lady's hand high over the shoulder, rather than doing an explicit combing movement, makes the move more of a fast hand change.

Both partners can hold the Comb position and do a dipping change of weight from right foot to left foot, etc.

There are also “flick” and “false” comb variations.

There are eight single-handed facing combs; four for the man:

and four for the lady:

There are four double-handed man and lady combs:

There also double-handed man and double-handed lady combs:

and double “toothless combs”, i.e. hands over shoulders etc.

There are also combs with the lady / man facing the same direction, e.g. man in front of the lady.

There are also combs with the lady / man side-by-side, e.g. lady in a Basket. The man doesn't drop the left-to-right hands, but bounces them above the lady's head, releasing the hands, letting them drop and recatching them, as a normal Basket.
