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

The Resistor is an “active lady response” to being led into a Figure Of Eight — the lady hijacks the lead from the man — leading him to turn 360^o anticlockwise, rather than turning herself as in a normal Figure Of Eight.

Steps

1–2

The Resistor starts like steps 1–2 of the Figure Of Eight.

3: ()

The lady leads the man to turn 360^o clockwise (with weight on her right leg) under her right hand (and the man's right hand) — by pushing his right hand slightly with her right hand and raising her right hand (and the man's right hand) to above the man's head.

4: (Step back)

The lady leads the man to move backwards — by pushing her right hand slightly with his right hand — as she lowers his right hand (and the lady's right hand) from head height to waist height and moves backwards
