This break is performed with the dance partners facing each other, where the distance between them is
slightly more than for a normal open position. The leader indicates the break verbally, and he can use a
normal move that ends in open position as an entry to the break. One possible entry is to use a Double Turn Under, where there is enough time in the eight beats of the move to allow both dancers to adjust their weight
so that they are both on their left foot, ready for the break.
