Flare in Detail sn0080

  • Only Lead's footwork is shown.
  • Follower's footwork is exactly the same but four beats ahead/behind Lead's footwork. So on the first beat (B1) Follower does Lead's fifth beat (B5) footwork.
  • Steps S1 to S4 are not shown because these are not part of a Flare and can vary.

S5) Lead's right foot steps back as in Mambo Step, sn0075.

S6) Lead pauses as in Mambo Step.

S7) First (See S7a) - Lead's right foot steps next to their left foot on the beat (feet nearly touch).

Second (See S7b) - The instant the right foot hits the ground the left foot steps quickly out to the side (should look as if the right foot knocked the left foot outwards).

This step ends with Lead's right leg bent at the knee, their left leg straight, and their torso vertical. Lead's right leg supports most of Lead's weight.

S8) Pause.
