SP:

The partners face the centre of the circle, one behind the other.

The right arm is in front of the chest, folded in the elbow and close to the body, its forearm parallel to the left arm. The left arm is stretched to the left side horizontally. Palms are down, fingers together, wrists stretched.

The right foot is on toes to the right side. The weight of the body is on the left foot. The toes of both feet point towards the centre of the circle.

1:

Turning to the right and forwards in respect to the movement in the circle.

Both arms outline descending semicircles down and to the right side while simultaneously the body turns to the right. The arms move parallel, stretched, with palms down, and reach horizontal position forwards.

The toes of the right foot rotate to the right (forwards), and the weight of the body gradually transfers to it. In the process of weight transfer the heel of the left foot takes off and the foot rotates on toes to the right (forward). Toes never lift from the ground.

Turning to the right, with one’s back to the centre of the circle.

Both arms outline long descending semicircles to the right side, while simultaneously the body turns to the right. The right arm reaches a position horizontal to the right side, while the left is folded in front of the chest, forearm parallel to the right arm. Arms move parallel one to another with palms down, stretched.
