Library of Dance · 1 of 2
Description
Practice an On2 overhead hand-thread exchange with separate turns and relaxed shoulders.
Use Eddie Torres New York On2 timing: steps on 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, with leader back break on 2 and forward break on 6. Preparations may cross the eight-count boundary.
Dishrag names vary; this is a leader-thread practice version, not a simultaneous duck or neck wrap. This catalogue uses the title for the particular practice version described here; naming and sequences vary between schools.
