Basic in closed position
 

  • After you have practiced the basic step in open position, try the basic step in closed position.
  • Once you are facing each other in closed position, the steps will still be the same.
  • The only difference is that rather than pulling Follow’s left hand on Beat 5, Lead will pull slightly against Follow’s back.
