That sounding good (always difficult to judge by wordy stuff). I'm assuming that you're description is implying no switch of hand (ie hand hold remains man's left to lady's right), and so what I'm reading is that I can, possibly, use my right hand as a further 'encourager' to ensure that she passes under my left hand. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
To try to be a little more explicit and descriptive [gulp!]
Take a straight forward travelling return.
Both step back [Man's left to lady's right]
Man leads lady forwards (and steps forward and to the left himself)
Man raises hand as both pass right shoulders.
Lady half turns counter clockwise under man's arm, as ...
Man simply turns (clockwise) to face.
Ok .... so how about exactly the same thing, except rather than passing right shoulders, passing left shoulders.
Both step back as above
Man leads lady forward and to his left (and steps forward to the right himself)
Man raises hand as both pass left shoulders.
Lady half turns clockwise under man's arm, as ...
Man simply turns (counter clockwise) to face
[Note: at this point, man's hand will be over lady's rather than the usual]
Shouldn't that be really really simple? [ .... it's not a treble pretzel doughnut with half windmill and double toe loop fgs!!] ... and I quite like it when it goes right!! ... though I'm never very disappointed with variations!!
Does this make sense? Clear up any confusion? Pray tell!
