Description
Pass the follower hand over their own head as a relaxed styling release during the basic.
Use On1 timing: six regular weight changes on 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 unless an explicitly counted spin recovery, syncopation or held accent is described. Rotation without a step does not add a weight transfer.
Keep the head upright; the hand passes over it without bending the neck.

Tips
Keep the head upright; the hand passes over it without bending the neck.
Practice slowly with small steps and keep your own supporting balance.
Common Mistakes
Holding fingers tightly so the connection cannot swivel or release.
Continuing a turn after losing the shared rhythm or your own balance.
