Name Grip Initial Signal Description
Winder Swizzle L to R Winder Signal Start as for the normal Winder and continue until the man straightens the lady's R arm (8 beats). Now the man retains both hands while inscribing a fast double anti-clockwise spin above the lady's head with his L, with the R hand going to the lady's R hip by the end of the second turn, blocking her (2 beats). In order to stop the lady comfortably, the man should step around the lady clockwise and tense his L arm at the end of the second spin. From this lock position, the man leads a clockwise double spin with his L, dropping his R hand to end L to R.
Triple Styler R to R return No signal Start as for the Right Hand Comb, but the man places his L arm behind his back (4 beats). Now the man ducks his head under the lady's arm to reappear on the other side while starting to sweep his R hand in a large arc clockwise under the lady's R arm, over it, and finally meeting the R hand as the man starts to walk around clockwise (4 beats). Now the man drives the lady in three clockwise walking turns with the joined R hands, and at the end takes the lady's R wrist and quickly steps across to end at her R side facing the same direction as the lady, with her R hand along his shoulders and his L hand behind the lady's R hip. Now both Ocho on R (yes, ladies on wrong foot), then Ocho L, Ocho R and on the second Ocho L the man prepares the exit by moving his L hand to the front of the lady's hip (8 beats). Now both continue to Ocho R (2 beats) and the man drives a clockwise hip spin with his L, catching with either hand. The man's footwork should be off here, and he will have to shuffle to get back on beat.
