1. Open Finish
An Open Finish may be danced at any time instead of a Closed Finish. The foot positions then become:
  • Man/leader: (1) LF to side and slightly forward, then (2) RF fwd in CBMP, OP.
  • Lady/follower: (1) RF to side and slightly back, then (2) LF back in CBMP.
See leader's and follower's technique charts for detailed technique.

There are many follows to an Open Finish, including figures that move forward, back, or to the side; See follows tab for a complete list. Note that when stepping forward after an Open Finish, step 1 of the following figure will not be taken in CBMP.
