Hand connection: right to left over left to right. Follower passes on the right, turning right. The lead's left hand comes down to the left forearm of the follow, and breaks briefly with the follow's right hand as it crosses her left arm, then re-attaches. This is usually done with two, three, or more turns. The move creates an illusion that both hands are connected through the entire turn.
