E X E R C I S E (Underarm Pass) - Adjusted Pattern - Music

This exercise is danced with a partner (Adjusted Pattern). The man lifts his Left Hand up and moves it straight down the slot as he moves down the slot. He does not pull the woman or crank her into her Underarm Turn. The woman goes straight down the slot directly through the position where the man was at the beginning of the Step Pattern. He clears the slot by stepping toward his Left Rail on counts 1 2 and on counts 4 5 so the woman can have room to pass and turn. The woman must not squeeze the man's hand or use the man for balance - she must execute everything under her own power. If the man uses any force at all it will throw the woman off balance.

SETUP

Frame: Open Position - M: Lh Lead.

PATTERN

Execute the previous pattern with a partner.
