He will catch her right hand. His right hand to her right hand ("cross hand" or "cross arm" position). His left leg goes.... ....out.... ....he steps left onto his right footprint A nice line with his bent left leg He gets out of her way while bringing her through. Be- cause of the cross arm position, his arm is going behind his back. Her left arm is relaxedly held out as if resting on an invisible table. He still holds her right hand... As she passes, he keeps his hand which leads her to turn. A little flick with his hand and she is in a free turn

The leader starts this pattern facing away from the follower holding the follower's right hand with his right hand. On 1,2, the leader does a step forward and back (as in a send out) leading the follower forward on 2.

As he does this, he steps a little to his right to make room for the follower who will be traveling in a straight line past him. He also sticks out his left hand pointing down at a 45 degree angle so that the follower can see it.

On 3 & 4, the leader triple steps in place and directs the follower's right hand with his right hand toward his left hand.

On 5 & 6, as the follower goes past the leader, the leader triple steps back in line with the follower and does a "j lead" with his left hand hooking first to the right and then to the left as he leads the follower through a clockwise free spin.

On 1,2, the follower swivels stepping right left coming forward, as led, on 2.

On 3 & 4, the follower continues forward with a triple step, and seeing the leader's offered left hand, allows her right hand to go behind the leader's back.

On 5 & 6, the follower triple steps clockwise until she is facing the leader.

As with most patterns where the follower travels on a line past the leader, the leader makes space so she can travel without having to go around him. The leader goes on and off the imaginary line. He goes off the line as she approaches, and moves back onto it when she is past him. If the follower's path is oval-shaped instead of linear, the figure does not look as crisp. The idea of the follower traveling back and forth on a line with the leader getting on and off the line is central to another swing dance style, west coast swing.
