Wrapped Whip

A whip variation in which the follower is caught in a wrap (cuddle/sweetheart position — follower's back to the leader's front, arms crossed) at the whip's midpoint, then released down the slot.

Distinguished from the basket whip mainly by the entry and the height/shape of the wrap; scene naming here is famously inconsistent, so expect these two names to blur together in classes. The exit can unwind (follower turns out) or release straight, and both are commonly taught.

Matt and Maggie (Daily Dance Services) teach a two-sets-of-six version: a half whip ending in a right-to-left handhold, then rolling the follower into a wrap on the leader's left side facing down the slot, with a tuck-turn exit turning the follower out clockwise.¹ Their key lead point: open your line and ask for the follower's free hand as the roll-in starts — collect it too late and the tuck exit is gone.² Because back-to-back 6-count chunks come fast, they stress resetting the connection at the end of each piece.³
