Wrap in like a normal basket and twist backwards and forwards. Then let go with your left hand, and instead of unwrapping your partner, nudge her (gently) out, taking your right hand across to your left hand side to prepare for a flick (sometimes called an American) spin. Catch left into a... Figure of Eight. Starts like a step across, as you go underneath your hand, keep your left hand high, then dip it down and push away from you, turning the ladies in a clockwise direction, then step in and return into a... Short-backhander with a wiggle. Step forward, and lead your partner forward, taking her hand behind her back, reaching round her with your right hand and transferring her hand from your left to your right behind her back. Pull back (gently) with your right hand, turning the lady in a clockwise direction, as you carry on moving forward, turning back clockwise to face her. As she comes round to face you, transfer her hand back into your left hand, and apply a little (gentle) downward pressure on the hand to tell her to not move. Then take 2 beats to wiggle (or watch her do the same - it's probably far more interesting!). Then step back, offering the right hand, back to the beginning.... Glad you enjoyed the music!
