Reverse Whip

intermediate

also known as: Left Side Whip

A whip danced with the redirection happening on the left/reverse side: the leader steps into the slot mirrored from a standard whip and the follower is turned counter-clockwise at the post.

Because everything happens on the "wrong" side, the reverse whip is a favorite test of whether both partners are actually dancing connection rather than pattern memory. Timing is standard 8-count whip timing.
