| Name | Grip | Initial Signal | Description |
| Bassey Backhander | L to R | No signal | Start as for the First Move, but the man signals by changing his L grip to a pincer grip and rotating the lady's R thumb to point downwards (like the Backhander Signal) (2 beats). In response to this signal, the lady raises her L hand vertically in the air, as normal. Now both step forward and the lady turns clockwise to reach the splay position, with the man transferring the lady's R hand to her R hip and into his L hand, while his L moves tot the lady's L hip (2 beats). Now the man leads the lady with his hands at her hips in a forward CJ (first beat the lady rocks forward onto her L and move R forward, subsequent beats alternating feet go forward in response to the man's hip lead) (say, 4 beats). After the lady steps forward on her R, the man leads the exit by pulling down and back on the lady's R hand to lead a clockwise overhead turn to end R to R. |
