NOTE: All instructions are given from the Lead's perspective. Follow steps are opposite except where noted. During the dance, partners will dance in three different holds/positions, i.e. closed hold (closed ballroom), open hold (two-hand open), and sweetheart position (sie-by-side with LH in LH and RH in RH at shoulder height).
No tags or restarts!
Starting Position: Closed hold with Lead facing 12:00 wall.

LEAD STEPS:

5Step LF in place and change hands to LH/RH hold while lowering arms to waist height (turn should be at least ¼ turned at this point)
6Step RF in place with toe turned out to R and release RH and extend R arm to R (this completes the ½ turn for the Follow; be prepared to continue the rotation into the next section for an additional ¼ turn L) (6)
FOLLOW STEPS:
4Step LF diagonal FWD L and turn ¼ L (RH will be raised above Follow's head and circled CCW) (4)
5Step RF beside LF and expect Lead to change hand hold as R arm begins to be lowered (5)

5Pivot ½ R on ball of LF and step FWD on RF (Lead will start lowering Follow's RH to shoulder height) (5)
6Pivot ¼ turn R on ball of RF and step LF beside RF (Lead will reestablish closed hold) (6)
NOTE: it is important that the Lead does not "crowd" the Follow during the outside turn. This will avoid any chance of elbow to chest or head contact.
