| The accordion crab is a "boxy" version of the accordion, the lady basically does four sides of a box. Both partners basically face the same direction.
For example:
The first side she goes from right to left across in front of the man.
The second side there may be a slight step / adjustment backwards.
The third side she goes across from left to right behind the man. The
The fourth side there may be a slight step / adjustment forwards.
0). Man leads lady to step into his right side with left hands low and right hands high, as in a "normal accordion".
1). The man lead the lady to step forwards across him (his front) to that the lady goes into a hammerlock with her left-hand behind her back, lower right hands slightly. (This is a sort of mirror'd sway position, but with the hands behind the lady's back).
2). The man takes right-hands from in-front of his head to behind his neck.
3). Man leads lady across from his left side to his Right side, letting go of Left-hands when Lady on his Left, lower right hands slightly.
[The man can move across here to "help out" putting his left arm behind his back in a hammerlock, before letting go.]
4). Man takes up left hands under right hands again when Lady is on his Right-side, as he takes right hands high (above/over lady's head).
5). Repeat as now at position 0). |
