The gentleman completes a small diameter ¾ turn to the left, while the lady turns ¾ to the left in place. At the close of Count 28, the dancers should be in the starting position. Since the gentleman leads, these are the gentleman's steps and arm movements. The gentleman can do a broad scuff, but the lady better do a small one to avoid kicking her partner.
