The lady's part to the underarm turn we're going to follow the gentleman's lead. So the gentleman is going to start by lifting his arm which gives us an indication of what we're going to do. We know we're going through because the gentleman's hand which is on the ladies shoulder blade is going to give a gentle push. Ladies that's going to tell you which direction it's going in and as the gentleman's leads you into it you take your arm off of his shoulder and run it through. Hold a while doing your oberek step to get around and gentleman remember you're still dancing as the lady is turning. So you'll take two oberek steps 1 2 3 2 2 3 and your arm should wind up back on the gentleman's shoulder. Just remember to keep dancing and the whole time your doing this 1 2 3 2 2 3 1 2 3 2 2 3 and that puts you back with one underarm turn.
