Jive Leads and Break Away steps

In twelfth class, we learned Jive's "Break Away" steps:

• We start with basic steps 1-4.
• After doing step 4 of basic Jive, we rotate by 90 degrees and perform step 5 and 6 in perpendicular directions (to step 1-4), such that they start facing the same direction. Male partner rotates to his right and female partner rotates to her left.
• During step 6, their hands should form a W. Always remember to take small steps in Jive.
• Partners then do their 1 - 4 steps facing the same direction.
• Then on step 4, male partner pulls female partner's left hand in his left direction. They both rotate back by 90 degrees and perform steps 5 and 6, facing each other.

We also learned Jive leads:

• Basic steps lead are simple and hands remain at waist height.
• For performing breakaway steps, he gives a push by his right hand to her left hand.
• Similarly, to join back, he pulls her right hand by his left hand.
• If she doesn't receive any lead during breakaway steps, then both the partners keep on doing rest of the steps without changing the direction.
