You’ve just walked around in a ‘U̵= 7; shape.

On the 3 slow steps making the U-turn, allow the R= arm to be curved in front of body, while L arm will be slightly

Near the end of the music, after count 30, there i= s a long note for 4 counts (31-32-1-2). Slowly drag Right foot to behind Left f= oot into 4th or 5th foot position. [12:00]

Arms open sideways, the L arm circling horizontall= y CW to end in front of rib cage, palm faces in, R arm circles CCW vertically to= end with R hand above head, elbow slightly bent, palm faces down. Similar to ba= llet 4th position.

At the very end, there is a sharp note, flick both hands open, fingers splayed, middle finger lowest. At the same time, look d= own and up in a very quick motion, (try not to move your head!), as if you̵= 7;re giving someone a quick once-over…. Y’know<= /span>, checking ‘em out!

On Slow (S) steps, you can do Step, Hold, or, inst= ead of ‘Hold’, allow the 2nd foot to move towards and brush the ins= ide of the 1st foot before taking the next step. The brushing should be done wi= th Q steps also. Try to have knees bent slightly throughout. Motion should be smooth rather than ‘bouncy̵= 7;.

Thanks and have fun with it!
