For the follower, this move is similar to the Lindy Turn with Follower Turn Clockwise, but the turn is led
earlier in the move. In this respect, it is also similar to the Lindy Turn Back Pass, except with a turn
rather than a spin.
For the leader, the main difference is that he remains facing in the same direction
for beats 5–7, catching the follower's hand behind himself and only turning back to face the follower at the
last moment of the move.
