Bar 3 - 4: On 1st beat one step forward and stop; swaying arms less forward . On 3rd beat both stamp with inside feet and on 1st beat of bar 4 with outside feet. On 3rd beat arms are swung back and weight put on inside feet .

Bar 5 – 8: Same as 1 – 4, but instead of stamping clap hands twice

Bar 9 –12: Joined arms lifted above heads, the dancer twirls his partner cw in front and to the right of him while he continues walking forward with step-close-steps. At the end of bar 12 the girl has done two and a half revolutions and does not yet face ballroom direction.

Bar 13: Lowering arms again and swaying them forward in one flow, the dancer gets with the 1st step-close-step beside his partner and sways arms forward whereas his partner is turned into ballroom direction.

Bar 14-20: As 2 – 8

Note

Be careful about the music. There exists a version with only 32 bars where bar 17 – 20 is omitted. In that case you must omit the 2nd clapping.
