With the next four bars, we shall be experimenting with a kick and a turn.
| THE COUNTS | THE MOVEMENTS |
| 1 | Step forward with the right foot, bringing left foot up behind and stepping back onto the ball as you … |
| 2 | … step forward onto the right foot again, bending the knee in a lunge (this movement is easier to do than to read and is called ‘step-ball-change’. It has a slight jump at the moment when you transfer the weight from right to left and back to right again, rather like a gallop). |
| 3 | Pivot round to left in a half circle, keeping feet where they are, so that the left foot is in front with weight still on right foot, AND step-ball. |
| 4 | Change with left foot leading, finishing in a lunge with arms to the side. |
| 5,6,7,8 | Repeat. |
| 1 | Bring arms down and swivel torso to right, so right foot is in front. Take weight onto it … |
| 2 | … and lie back, kicking leg out to the front, opening arms in a low V. |
| 3 | Keeping hands up, return foot to the floor, then … |
| 4 | … transferring weight, bring right toe to left knee and swivel round to right through 360 degrees, lowering arms. |
| 5 | Step to side with right foot. |
| 6 | Swing hip to the right, arms in opposition. |
| 7 | Contract ribcage (as though punched in the stomach), bringing hands up, head down and pointing right foot. |
| 8 | As you slide it over left foot, bring hands down, head back. |
