This break is performed with the dancers facing each other as for open position, but without any contact
between them. The break is indicated verbally in advance, and then the leader transitions into the break
using any move that ends in an open position. The break itself is performed with the dancers using the same
feet (unison), rather than opposite (mirrored) footwork.
The break occupies four eight-beat phrases; the first two of these are the actual Squat Charleston move.
These are followed by eight beats where the dancers perform a Kick Around, then eight beats of twist steps
back towards each other in order to resume dancing as a couple.
