Open Wurlitzer (5 counts ; 10 musical beats) : Brief Description

The Open Wurlitzer is similar to the Left-Handed Hatchback.

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 and offers his right hand for the lady to take his right hand in her left hand.

2: (Step in)

The man leads the lady to move forwards — by pulling her right hand slightly with his left hand changing to a flat palm-to-palm handhold at shoulder height and pulling her left hand slightly with his right hand — as he moves forwards.

3: ()

The man leads the lady to rotate 270^o clockwise (with weight on her right leg) and move forwards-right — by releasing her right hand after pushing it slightly with his left hand — as he rotates 90^o clockwise (with weight on his right leg) to an in-line position.

Instead of a palm-to-palm grip, the man can have use a BarPush-like hold on the lady's forearm.

4: ()

The man leads the lady to spin 450^o anticlockwise (with weight on her left leg) — by bringing his right hand (and the lady's left hand) backwards and releasing the lady's left hand from his right hand (almost like a Frisbee) — as he spins 90^o clockwise (with weight on his right leg).

5: (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 right foot as a brake and then stepping back on her left leg) — by pushing her hand(s) slightly with his hand(s) — as he finishes the spin (placing weight onto his left foot as a brake and then stepping back on his right leg).

6: (Finish)
