This move follows on from the repeating section of the Back Charleston Side Kicks.
The leader turns the follower 180° anticlockwise on her first right-leg kick, to end up
facing the leader, ready to perform Facing Side Kicks. Both dancers continue to maintain the
normal rhythm of the Back Charleston Side Kicks throughout—two kicks on each leg in turn.
