Side Kicks to Back Charleston

This move is the opposite of the entry to Back Charleston Side Kicks, converting the side kicks back to a normal Back Charleston. The main indicator of this transition is the positioning of the follower's hands. For the Back Charleston Side Kicks, the leader keeps the hands at the follower's sides; to indicate the transition, he starts the forwards and backwards swinging of the hands that occurs in the Back Charleston.
