Note: * This step is taken on the T and the footwork is completed as the next step is taken. More turn can be made. Throughout this fig the couple rotate in a circle with a centre which falls at a point between the two pairs of feet. Due to the speed and continuation of turn, normal hip action does not occur during this fig except on the last step.
