Now we're going to do two spins on the underarm turn just to take it up a notch for those of you who are able to do that. It's a little bit quicker it's the same step as we just did but it runs a little quicker. You'll use one step to get around for each turn one full count oberek. So again the gentleman will lead it by lifting his arm up, ladies you're going to take your arm through but do it at a faster speed. Now remember you're going to get all the way back around ladies on one basic oberek step. So that's 1 2 3 and 1 2 3 so you have two spins on two basic obereks so you have 1 2 3 2 2 3 1 2 3 2 2 3 1 2 3 2 2 3 1 2 3 2 2 3. As you can see it's a little bit more lively and a little more fun on the dance floor. But gentleman as you lead the lady she'll know whether if she's doing one spin or two by your lead.
