S1) Lead and Follower continue Open Break. Lead holds their left hand infront of their chest, palm facing Follower, to signal Follower that Lead wants their free hand. |

S3) First - Lead's left hand takes Follower's left hand over Follower's head with a CCW motion. Lead turns 45° CW as their left foot steps forward. Follower turns 90° CCW as their right foot steps forward. Second - All hands are in Turn Hold. Arms are nearly straight. |
