13. Pull through to closed or open position

This is a six count pattern.

For the lead: On 1,2, the lead does a rock step by stepping back with the left on 1 and crossing over to the left with his right foot on 2. As he does this he opens the follow up on 1 and then on 2 he pivots the follow back in and gently tosses her right around counter clockwise so that she will continue turning in a free spin in that direction. As he does this he allows his right hand finger tips to slide around around the follow's waist. On 3&4, the lead does a triple push around the follow clockwise. On 5&6, the lead does a triple sit and holds out his left hand to stop the rotation of the follow and should end up in closed positon.

For the follow: On 1, the follow is lead back onto her right foot. On 2, the follow is lead forward on to her left foot and her left hand is released to lead her in counter clockwise turn. On 3&4, th follow triple pushes around counter clockwise. On 5&6, the follow is stopped by the lead's left hand contacting her right hand and the follow does a triple sit.

To do this pattern from closed position to one hand open position, the lead removes his his right hand from the follows back after count two and allows the follow to turn until she is facing the lead. If the follow does not feel the lead's right hand on her back then she can continue truning until she is facing the lead in one hand open position.
