Through the Legs

(****should only be done with supervision)
      
Teaching Cues:


-Starting in Closed Position



      




-Start with follower's outside turn- only leader turn and holds both hands above follows head




- follower then bends low

- leaders arms should be crosses
<------






- leader steps over follower with right leg

- still holding both hands




-from this position-
leader bends knees and pulls with arms and follower slides on feet through leaders legs

     

- once follower is through legs- leader pulls arms in opposite directions (uncrosses them)

- follower momentum and this action will result in follower landing in the closed position
   
- should now be in
closed position

- should be facing opposite
direction form start


- try it again

- remember the footwork
slow-slow-quick/quick

Allowing the students to do this may be dangerous- only if you trust your class and if you feel they are ready should they attempt this move.
