5,6     Dip the knees, Transfer weight to L and touch R heel 450 right

7,8     Transferring the weight to the R Dip the knees only slightly, Rise out of the

        slight dip and Hook L behind R calf (When you hook L behind, start the ensuing

        1/2 left hinge. Also swing arms across and down to your left when you hook L

        behind. So your L arm will be out to the side of the body approx 450 and your

        R arm will be across the body pointing to the left)

OPTION: For a more dramatic effect, HITCH the L knee well across the body instead of

the HOOK behind. Use the same arm movement and remember to start your ensuing 1/2 left

hinge when you hitch
