Repeat pattern. Note: Repeat the same foot patterns, but
man and lady change positions as follows:
First segment: On beat 12, man and lady turn simultaneously and
still remain side by side in the western open position. On beat
17, man passes Right arm over lady's head and winds up in front
of lady with their hands joined at waist level behind man's back.
Continue to dance in this position until change in the next segment.
Second segment: On beat 13, lady comes up beside man's right
under man's Right arm, performs beats 14,15 and 16 in this position.
On beat 17, the man passes his Right arm back over lady's head
and she begins to cross behind him to come up on his left; on
beat 18, man passes his Left arm over her head and they are now
in a man's Right-hand hammer position with Left hands together
at her Left shoulder. Continue to dance in this position until
change in the next segment.
Third segment: On beat 17, disengage Right hands from behind
man's back; lady turns and dances in front of man (her back to
his front) with their hands joined and resting lightly on lady's
shoulders. Continue to dance in this position until change in
next segment.
Fourth segment: On beat 12, man and lady turn simultaneously
into an opposite western open position. On beat 17, man and lady
turn simultaneously into a normal western open position. Begin
turn segments again.
