Left-Handed 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 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 — by pulling her right hand slightly with his left hand — as he moves forwards slightly to the left of the lady's line, so that the lady will come into his right side. As both partners step together the man brings his left hand (and the lady's right hand) across to his left shoulder and places his flat right palm against the lady's right forearm.

3: ()

The man leads the lady to move forwards-right and spin 540^o clockwise (with weight on her right leg) — by releasing the lady's right hand from his left hand and pushing her right forearm with his right palm in an arc to his right, 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)
