Detailed Description
Another symmetrical washing machine that mirrors the movements on both sides to get back to where it started. Note that this one can be done with hands connected the whole time in a hand to hand grip or disconnecting and reconnecting hands as you go. Try it both ways for fun.
Side Star Tick Tock to start
Side star to mono Star - this is like side star to star but the second foot doesn't get placed. A variation would be to go to star with two feet and then take the second foot back off. The variation might help while learning.
Mono start step down to outside forward star - The base brings the foot not on the flyer's shoulder across body (goofy foot) to find the flyer's hip crease for an outside forward side star.
Frontside rotisserie - The flyer transitions from outside forward side star to inside reverse side star. This is the same move as the front half of the rotisserie washing machine.
Koala Pike Press - The flyer rotates out and finds the bases other hand, this is similar in movement to a rotation through reverse bird. As the flyer finds the base's second hand (both hands now in hand to hand grip) the flyer bends at the waist (pike) until their torso is vertical against the outside of the base's leg. This looks kind of like a koala hugging a tree. The base then uses their free leg to push up into mono star.
Mono Star to Back Bird- The base takes the foot that had been on the flyer's hip and moves it to sideways on the flyer's sacrum for back fly aka back bird. Two notes, one is the mono star is a high position while the positions before and after are lower, so you might not go all the way up with base's leg fully extended in mono star to make the transitions smoother. Second note is that the backfly might pre-position the flyer's leg for the next move rather than move to a more traditional backfly and then move the legs into position for the next transition.

Back Bird Goofy Footed to inside forward side star. Note that the previous transition from back bird did not require the cross footed transition.
