Basic 8-Moving forward outside three-turn on a circle – R and L

Basic 8-Combination move: Forward crossovers (2) into forward inside Mohawk, step down*, cross behind, step into backward crossover (1) and step to forward inside edge
Basic 8-One-foot upright spin, optional entry and free-foot position

*missing from the online sources but the step down is there on demos and in the instructor manual. If you're doing CCW forward crossovers, the RFI Mohawk exits on a LBI edge. You then step down on a RBO edge, step behind onto a LBI edge, then step down, feet together and cross (l over r) before doing a LBI Mohawk to turn forward.
