Hatchback (4 counts ; 8 musical beats) : Brief Description

Steps

1: (Step back)

The man leads the lady to move backwards — by pushing her right hand slightly with his right hand — as he moves backwards-left off the lady's line, leaving it free for her to step forwards.

2: (Step in, and take hands to left shoulder)

The man leads the lady to move forwards — by pulling her right hand slightly with his right hand — as he moves forwards slightly to the left of the lady's line, so that the lady comes into his right side.

The man brings the right hands across to his left shoulder (as if his right arm were in a sling) and releases hold, so that his right palm faces his shoulder and with the lady's right hand flat on top with no grip so that the lead cannot be confused with a “Classic” Yo-yo.

3: ()

The man leads the lady to move forwards-right and spin 540^o clockwise (with weight on her right leg) — by swinging his right arm in an arc to his right pushing her right arm away, since the handhold was released on the previous step — as he moves forwards-right and spins 180^o anticlockwise (with weight on his left leg).

4: (Catch, and step back)

The man typically catches the lady's hands in a double handhold, or catches the lady's right hand in either his left or right hand. The man leads the lady to finish the spin (placing weight onto her left foot as a brake and then stepping back on her right leg) — by pushing her hand(s) slightly with his hand(s) — as he finishes the spin (placing weight onto his right foot as a brake and then stepping back on his left leg).

5: (Finish)
