Silver Wings Partner Version: You may dance the partner version in line with the line dancers.
Start in Sweetheart position with the follower on the leader’s right side, R hands joined over follower’s shoulder, L hands joined in front of leader’s chest.
Dance in this position until the counts 19-24 - the 3 triples.
Release the L hands and allow the follower to turn under the raised R hands during the 3 triples – leader will dance regular triples.
Rejoin the L hands for counts 25-32.
On counts 31-32, rotate as a couple in sweetheart position.
The leader will adjust footwork to do a hinge turn on counts 31-32 by doing 1/4 turn left stepping R back, 1/4 turn left stepping L forward as the follower does the pivot turn.
