Development (Gold):

On step 5 Gentleman lowers his left arm a little more and turns Lady strongly to her left by rotating his hand to the right from the wrist until palm is turned outwards, therefore giving Lady's right arm a slight, gentle twist. Lady continue to turn an additional 1/2 on right foot, allowing left foot to cross loosely in front of the right foot (Spiral Action) in Tandem Position in front of Gentleman. On steps 6-8 Lady may dance a Forward Lock or three small runs forward. Towards the end of step 8 the Gentleman turns Lady to the right to face him by rotating his hand slightly left from the wrist. (Lady turns 1/2 to the right on left foot to end in Open Position with left foot back.

You can follow this development with Chicken Walks, Simple Spin from Open Position, or any figure commenced in Open Position, Lady normally dances a Flick Ball Change in place of steps 1-2 of the Link.
