- PIVOT THRU TO SEMI
- Slip Pivot to BJO
Slip Pivot In semi-closed position, step back on the lead foot, the woman beginning a LF turn (pivot) on the ball of her right foot with thighs locked and left leg extended. The man steps back R turning slightly LF and keeping his left leg extended forward as she continues her turn and steps fwd L just outside his R foot. This is the "slip" action. On the third beat, step fwd L (woman back R).
There is a general rule associated with slip movements that says, if there is no or only a little LF rotation of the couple, then the woman steps L outside the man's R. The man will use his frame to control this. If the man intends to turn the partnership, say, 1/4 LF, then he will guide her to step L between his feet. This will allow him to turn LF during the third step and end in closed position. If she had slipped outside his feet, the turn would have put them in banjo.
