Revision 1

A 6-count pattern where the follower passes on the leader's right side, usually traveling under the joined hands — hence the common alternative name underarm pass.

The shape

• 1–2: leader steps back, raising the joined left hand to create an arch; follower walks forward
• 3&4: follower passes under the arch and turns right to face back down the slot
• 5&6: anchor

Common notes

• The arch is an invitation, not a crank: most instruction emphasizes that the leader's raised hand stays quiet and the follower turns themselves.
• Danced without the raised arm (a simple pass on the right side), the same slot geometry is often just called a side pass or outside pass depending on the scene.
