"Alright, now we're going to show you another variation on the crossed hand turn that we did earlier. So after we do our basic, one, two, three and we slide out, remember how we switched our hands and then asked for the other hand underneath. So now our hands are crossed. Okay, we're going to do our turn. One, two, but we're going to stop her before she turns around to face us all the way. So she's going to be, basically her back is to us. Okay, and this is where the lady uses that reverse basic step. And we're just going to send her back, keeping the hand on the shoulders. Five, six, seven. Okay, hands at shoulder height, two, three. And when we're done doing that, we just unwind her. Five, six, seven and we're done. Okay, so showing you one more time, we're going to do basic two, three and we slide and switch. Get the hand underneath, turn it to the right, one, two, hand to the shoulder, stop her when she's facing away from you. Send her back the other direction. You can hang out here. You can do this a few times if you want. Okay, whenever you're ready, you just unwind her like this. Okay, we could also do it to the other side where we would do a basic two, three, slide it out, and we're going to switch the hands with the right to right, left hand on top and turn her to the left, six, seven, one, two, three, five, six, seven and unwind six, seven. There you go."
