For Jig Walks, the leader takes advantage of the closed position to lift the manipulate where the
follower's weight is; he lifts her right hand side to trigger her to kick with her right foot, and vice
versa. This direct manipulation also makes it easy for the leader to extend the move, repeating beats 3
through 6 by again lifting the follower's weight to prevent her moving on to a rock step.
