Cuddle Cut-off
Easier Version: Cuddle cut-off, releasing her right hand on beat 5, end with left side pass & her free spin
Advanced Version: Cuddle cut-off to rock and go to free spin

Very nice instruction. The follower is very graceful and has a nice touch with her styling - not overly fussy.

Good video. His follower, though, looks rather bored 8^)
