And, now you can see she's side next to you for a Promenade position. And, then your going to continue in a line of direction dance with her as this, three, two, three, four, two, three. And, then bring the lady back in front of you. One, two, three, two, two, three, and continue on in that direction. So, here we'll walk through that again for you.
