Step back to face with the man's right hand still on the lady's shoulder. Men step in to the left to begin to swap sides again, and pull with your right hand again, but this time take your left hand towards your right shoulder to make the ladies step straight forwards. Men continue to swap sides as you pull back with your left hand and then raise it over the lady's head to unwrap her in a clockwise direction. Step back to face. Return. Step back.

Move 4 = Cross, Wrap & Chest Slide = Step back with a double handhold. Men step in to the right behind the lady to begin to swap sides as you raise both hands together over her head, turning her to her right. Continue to swap sides but stay quite close together - as the ladies come round to face, men keep your hands raised and turn half a turn to your left under your hands (your back should now be facing your lady). Men with a bent left arm lower your left hand down to your left hip. Keep hold with both hands as men start lowering your right hand down to the left, but also start turning to your right, bending at the waist to duck down underneath your lady's right arm. Men let go with your left hand from behind your back as you stand back up, and transfer the lady's left hand from your right to your left - lady's allow your right hand to slide off the man's shoulder and down his chest, as you both step back catching right to right underneath your left hands. Swap sides doing a travelling return with your crossed hands. Step back to face.
