The first measure of the phrase is
labelled "1,2,3" and the second
measure "5,6,7".
Closed Position - is
leader and follower facing
one another with left and
right feet together.
Closing Feet - mean bringing left
and right feet together and side by
side.
As in all social dancing,
"leader" normally means the man and
"follower" normally means the woman.
Turns are assumed to be follower
turns. Leader turns are explicitly
noted as such.
Leader turns are explicitly
described by direction of turn. Thus
"leader's right turn" or "leader's
left turn".
Follower turns are described as
"outside" or "inside". An "outside"
turn is a right turn of the
follower. An "inside" turn is a left
turn of the follower. These terms
"outside" and "inside" are used
instead of "right" and "left" to
avoid confusion, since a follower's
right turn (outside turn) is to the
leader's left.

Dancing which the more advanced
dancers take for granted (because
they do it automatically), yet
beginners struggle to hear.
