Half Catapult (5 counts ; 10 musical beats) : Brief Description

The man leads the lady to move forwards and come up to his right side — by pulling her right hand slightly with his right hand and bringing his right hand (and the lady's right hand) to above head height in an arch — as he moves backwards-left.

5: (Step past)

The man leads the lady to move forwards and turn 180^o clockwise (with weight on her right leg) under his right hand (and the lady's right hand) — by lowering his right hand (and the lady's right hand) from head height to waist height — as he moves backwards-right.
