Learning the Dance

The Plus-One figure is CROSS BODY (Phase 4)

Facing partner and wall,
leader step side and back L turning LF beginning to lead woman across in front of man. She steps side and forward R.
Step back R with a slipping action, and she steps forward L slipping to face partner.
End with a small forward step, she side. End in facing position, center; 1/2 turn.

This clip shows a CROSS BODY (and also NEW YORKER and UNDERARM TURN,
although they do not occur in the same sequence in the Valentine Bolero).

Watch for the CROSS BODY in following clip. 
The couple in front is easy to observe and copy; but also pay attention to the more experienced
dancers at the back with smoother moves.
