* Ladies cross to the other side of her partner in a wide arc, passing left
shoulders. They give a left hand to partner and walk past his back, holding
hands as long as possible. Ladies cross over to the other gent, passing right
shoulders. They give a right hand to the opposite and walk past his back,
holding hands as long as possible. They come back to partner with a left hand
and finish with a courtesy turn.
Until that courtesy turn, the gents do not turn around; they do only some
sidestepping to facilitate the way of the ladies.
