Very hard to explain this one. Start off very much on the man's right side. Try a Link. This is straight off an instruction tape, Lady shape the right toe inwards under her body, wait for the man to lead this one. On the Link do you feel that you have moved on the man's right hip, a feeling of actually going against the LOD on the Link. At this point you have not yet opened your foot postions, head is in promenade. As you both step ladies RF, man's LF move this step one floor board each apart allowing yourselves room for the the Closed Promenade. Remember you are not open after the Link, your legs are still connected, inside mans LF outside mans RF. When you finish the Closed Promenade you should be in exactly the position that you started. Man don't do too much on the Link. By that I mean don't wiggle your shoulders about, or use excesive force . I have found this helps. Man and Lady do the 1st step of the Link, toe turned in for the lady. Now hold that step for a couple of bars. Head still looking to the left, then hit it. Study this one. You are still in a closed position at the end of the link, and not wide open .
