Demonstrated by Michael & Cheryl
Every man knows that if you turn your back on a pretty lady she might be gone in a flash and if you should happen to drop her hand you might never grasp it again. But there's good news! If you can perform this simple, stylish move well on the dance floor the lady won't be offended and she'll stick around for more. The camera captured Michael giving Cheryl a quick dropspin at Lorna's Dance Studio in Somerton, South Australia where they were sharpening their Jive skills. An interesting point is that a rough-dancing male would find this move hard to perform.
The move begins man's leftt-hand to woman's right-hand. The man raises their hands and as the lady turns anti-clockwise, he does the same, ducking underneath their hands. He then brings their hands down and releases the lady's hand onto his right shoulder.
