  repeat:

1 Leader steps back on his right leg 45 anti-clock across and with the line of dance

2a Leader pivots 45 and steps to his left side along line of dance with no weight transfer

2b Leader closes his left foot back against his right and changes weight

3a Leader steps forward to right of follower across and with the line of dance

3b Leader reverses and extends the previous step back across and against the line of dance

3c Leader reverses and extends the previous step forward across and with the line of dance ending in the same position as step 4
