The Skating Break is a prearranged sequence that revolves around the Skating move from the Jazz Steps
section. The dancers start with the leader behind the follower, which means that any normal Lindy Hop move
that can segue into a Back Charleston is an appropriate lead-in to this sequence.

1. B:DfL Start with the leader standing behind the follower, facing in the same direction, with the leader's left hand holding the follower's left hand and his right hand holding her right hand; both dancers have their weight on their right feet. Both the leader and the follower take a step diagonally forward on their left feet, leaving their right foot in the same place so the right leg straightens.
