visually you will resemble a spinning top!
Allow the sweeping toe to turn your body.

forward. ( 6:00)

End of pattern. Begin again...
In any one-wall dance, the pattern should return us to the same spot
at which we started.
The choreography here has been designed to do that without effort.
Thanks to Fay Son-Hing for the idea for the title of this dance.
