The Drill for this term will be the Samba Whisk

(A Drill is an repetitive exercise you can use to practice a shape or technique, and builds discipline and stamina )

This is a very simplistic view of the whisk in the four dances we are learning this term

The Whisk is a three-step figure that moves you from closed to promenade or counter promenade position with a foot-crossing action.
