A body-led contra-isolation: the lead draws a single travelling wave DIAGONALLY across the follow's body — wrist to opposite hip — instead of a vertical body roll. From a closed position (one hand low, one on the shoulder blade), a tiny wrist impulse on counts 1-2 becomes a ripple that climbs the right arm (3), crosses the chest and shoulders (4-5), and exits down the LEFT hip with a clean outward hip-press (6-7); collect on 8. The lead's back-hand acts as a cursor tracing the wave's path the whole way, his own torso staying still so the line is unmistakably hers.

Follow
English
Relay the wave joint by joint on a strict diagonal — wrist, elbow, shoulder, opposite shoulder, opposite hip — then punctuate with a clean outward hip-press and recollect.
