PHASE 5
Orient Express excerpt
Natural Hover Cross
phase V
sqq; qqqq;
In closed position facing diagonal line and wall, step forward R beginning to turn RF (woman back L), -, side L turning (woman heel turn), side R completing 3/4 turn to face line and center in contra sidecar; step forward L on toe outside woman with right side stretch, recover R, side and forward L, fwd R on toe outside partner in contra banjo with left side stretch lowering to heel for next figure; The last four steps of this figure are known as a hover cross ending.
May begin in banjo position or in semi-closed position, in which case the woman's first two steps would be fwd L, -, fwd R,
In ballroom, this figure specifically serves as a "corner figure," a figure that turns the couple 1/4 LF, from following one wall to following the next. Round dancers don't think so much about straight walls and corners. We dance in a circle. But the next time you dance a hover cross in a corner, notice how much easier it is. It flows so smoothly. You will feel less jammed up.
