5.  Guys – Step forward on your LF as you extend your R-Arm to unwrap the lady 1½ turns CW to face. (Be careful that you do not raise your arm for the ladies second turn until she is fully facing you or you will hurt her shoulder.

6.  Guys – Lower your RH down to waist height as you then nudge the lady away and step back on your LF.

7.  Guys  - Step in raising your RH to return the lady a full turn ACW to face.

8.  Guys – Lower your RH down to waist height as you then nudge the lady away and step back on your RF.
