		make the upcoming 11/2 turn, arms out wide to
		sides
2)	RF	rock onto ball of RF, behind LF (wt. leaves LF but
		L leg remains slightly hooked over R leg):
		this is, in effect, a "push-off" from the
		previous step (4-1) into the beg. of the turn
		(next step, 4-2)
&)	RF	turn 1/2 (180º) to left, to face 9:00 - keep the back

		front wall)- you may now bring your heel
		to the floor

RIGHT TOE POINT AND SLOW DRAG

6)	RF	point ("shoot") leg straight out to right side
		(swiftly, as far as you can), bending L leg
		to accentuate and drive this point-to-side
&)	RF 	begin dragging toe back toward LF (and
		straightening L leg): this takes 21/2
		counts!
7)	RF 	continue dragging RF toward LF (and
		straightening L leg)
8)	RF 	clap & complete dragging foot to place
		(straightening up): the drag is not
		complete until this count/step is done!
