Right

Thanks for the challenge.

For starters, I am going to assume that you are familiar with the regular Pretzel. If not, well, there would be too much to describe

To move on to a double Pretzel, first do the signal, left hand up, right hand up, and loop yourself (men with your right hand). This is where it changes. At this stage instead of raising the left hand to un-loop the ladies anti-clockwise, men keep turning anti-clockwise on the spot keeping both hands low and out to the side. Then, raise your left hand (as if combing your hair) while still turning until you are side by side with the ladies (mens left hip to ladies left hip) - to get the ladies in that position, you need to lead them with your left hand until you are back at the beginning of the Pretzel (ie left hand up and right hand down - beat 2 of the Pretzel). It is also important to keep your hand holds fairly loose to avoid arms twisting uncomfortably

From this point you can either finish the next Pretzel normally or repeat

I will save the wrap and lean for another post.

Cheers,

Franck.
