In a Layover, the woman inclines not backward, as in a Layback, but forward. She drapes her body against his and allows him to support her weight. | |
Sometimes it has a "cuddle from behind" kind of look. | |
A round dance in which the Layover was used conspicuously was Shibata's Beyond, a phase V rumba. We did a Cross-Hand Underarm Turn to Tandem position and then a Layover in which the man leaned forward a bit, and the woman leaned her whole body against the man's back and stretched up on her toes. | |
