Position: This step description is for man in center, lady to his right is "A", lady to his left is "B". Man's right arm over "A's" shoulders holding her right hand. Man's left arm over "B's" shoulders holding her left hand. "A's" left hand holding "B's" right hand behind man's back. Everyone begins on right foot.
This is a fun dance that can be done as a line, threesome or mixer. In "the three sum" and "mixer", the starting position is three people (two ladies with man in center, three ladies, or two men with lady in center) facing line of dance.
Unlike "The Bull Shifts" where the man walks forward to new female partners, in this dance, the ladies travel forward and man goes back to meet new partners.
