Towel (8 counts ; 16 musical beats) : Brief Description

The Towel is similar to a “Turkish Towel” in Latin dances (samba, cha-cha) — the lady takes the role of the towel, drying the man's back.

Steps 1–3, and 6–9 are simply used to enter and exit the Towel position.

The man leads the lady to move right — by pulling her right hand slightly with his right hand — as he moves left and brings his right hand (and the lady's right hand) out to his right at shoulder-height and brings his left hand (and the lady's left hand) behind his neck — the man's palms will typically face forwards.
