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).

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.
