Kick Around

Although the Kick Around is not directly led (since the dancers have no contact), it is sufficiently common and recognizable that if the leader starts performing it, the follower will quickly catch on and do the same. The dancers' footwork is done on the same foot, which means that a transition to or from normal mirrored footwork involves one of the dancers changing feet.
