Stop & Go

Modified: September 26, 2013

Very pretty figure with double hand holds. Keep it small when lots of moving. Make / keep eye contact.
We think of it as “work apart (for two), work together “  RSP is Right shadow position. The lady will be facing the same way as the man and on his right side.
