Position: Lady faces the outside of the floor with her hands raised at her shoulders, heels together-gentleman stands behind her with his hands holding hers, heels together. Alternative position would have the gentleman wrapping his arms slightly around the lady with the hands being held slightly in front of the lady's body (for this intimacy, you might want to be good friends).10-COUNT VERSION FOUR SWAYS1Left foot step left-body weight sway left-couple holds hands-right with right and left with left2Body sway right3Body sway left4Body sway rightPARTIAL VINE TO THE LEFT WITH LEFT ½ TURN TO THE LEFT5Weight transfers to left foot6Right foot step behind left-drop the right hands and continue holding on with the left7Left foot step ½ turn to the left (points to the center of the floor)8Right foot close beside the leftPARTIAL VINE TO THE RIGHT WITH RIGHT ½ TURN TO THE RIGHT9Left foot step behind right leg to the right10Right foot step ½ turn to the right and re-grasp right handsREPEAT20-COUNT VERSION1Left foot step left2Right toe touch to close to left foot3Right foot step right4Left toe touch to close to right foot 5Left foot step left6Right toe touch to close to left foot7Right foot step to the right with a ¼ turn to the right-arms move to reverse promenade position8Left foot kick straight forward into low kick (moving from the hip) 9Left foot step backward10Right foot step backward11Left foot step backward in ¾ turn to the left and drop right hands12Right foot step right and re-grasp right handsVINE TO THE RIGHT WITH 1 ½ TURNS TO THE RIGHT13Left foot step behind right leg to the right14Right foot step to right15Left foot step in front of right leg to right16Right foot step right and drop left hands 17Left foot step to right ½ turn to the right18Right foot step ½ turn to the right19Left foot step to right ½ turn to the right20Right foot step to close to left footREPEAT Our favorite variation is an 18 count first pattern, dropping Counts 15-16 above, followed by a 16 count pattern to the end, by dropping Counts 1-2 on the repeats. This uses both Option 1 and 2 below.OPTION 1 Some couples find it easier to balance by omitting Counts 15-16.OPTION 2 Some couples eliminate Counts 1-2 on all repeats.
