Cross Body Right Turn (CBRT)

The Follower makes half a Right Turn on the 7th count of the music (LA Style), ending the 3rd position (lef behind right). First 6 steps are like a normal Cross Body Lead. Advanced definition: Partnering Dance Technique. It means a Cross Body Lead with a Forward Walking Turn (r) for the Follower.

The CBRT is also called "Walk Through" and "Under the Bridge". The Leader makes the same dance steps he makes as when he's dancing a regular Cross Body Lead (see "Cross Body Lead"). The Follower also makes the same dance steps as a regular CBL up to the 5th count. The Leader starts to pull (Pulling Hand Connection) on the leading arm of the Follower on the 3rd count making her continue to walk forward on counts 5 and 6. On count 7 the Leader brings his leading hand in his own direction, thus making the Follower do a Forward Walking Turn (r) and end in a 3rd Dance Position (On1).

The CBRT is the "mirror image" of a rev-CBLT (see "Reversed Cross Body Left Turn").
