Kiz - Desfile
Desfile (parade or fashion show) is the follower’s turn to the right, which requires a flick of the follower’s left arm.
Leads
- Perform a 90-degree open, similar to Passeio. At the same time, use your right hand in a quick upward motion to toss the follower’s left arm up. Then, raise your left arm high enough for the follower to pass underneath it.
- Mark a right step in place while using your right hand to turn the follower to the right. They will end up facing the same direction as you.
- Mark a left step in place while giving a gentle pull with your left hand to signal the follower to come back.
- Perform a Basic 2 to the right.
