This move is the opposite of the Side Charleston to Hand-to-Hand Charleston move.
This move similarly involves
a transition between the dancers doing their steps using the same feet back to doing steps
with mirrored feet. Again, the leader is the dancer who changes foot, since he knows what
move is intended. He performs the change by doing two extra kicks on one foot.
The count given for this move starts with beat 5 in order to align with the timings given for the
Hand-to-Hand Charleston move. After this sequence, the dancers can continue with either the repeating
section or the exit of Side Charleston Outside Kicks
