| Flutterwheel / Reverse Flutterwheel | Typical starting formation - facing dancers The right-side dancers leave their current partner and Right Arm Turn with each other a full turn, each ending where they started. Halfway through this motion, they take a couple handhold with the other dancer (i.e., the one they were originally facing directly), and the second half of the Arm Turn is completed with each new couple working as a unit. For Reverse Flutterwheel, use the same dance action, except that the left-side dancers Left Arm Turn. |
