We
often "step back to a Hinge. In closed position, the man steps back on
his right foot and the woman steps forward left, beginning to turn 1/4
to the left. Both step side on the lead foot. The man uses strong
left-side stretch and left-face body rotation to move the woman to an
L-position at his left side. She crosses her left foot behind her
right, changes weight, and both lower on the left leg. She almost sits
on his left thigh and both extend the right leg, she in front of her
and he to the side.
In leading the hinge, the man delays the lowering action still more than in the Throwaway Oversway.
He rotates, leading her to move her left foot to her right. He gives
her time to change weight. Then, as he lowers, it is her right foot
that is free, and it extends forward, as he lowers.
