Face To Face

Also known as: Face en Face.

Bars: 4.

Face to face is almost the same as a back to back except you start facing away from the person you are doing the face to face with and you continue facing that same way throughout the figure. Do not turn around. You walk backward, passing the other person by the right shoulder, go a little further, cross in front of them, and then go forward (passing left shoulders this time) until you are back where you started.

History

The earliest use of this figure that I know of is in Fried's dance Fireflies, 1987.
