1) Lady’s split position (each leg at least 45° from the body axis)
2) Catching the lady at the side of the waist without her hand(s)/arm(s)/any part of upper body touching the man
3) Lady’s position in the air with arm(s) above the head (minimum one full revolution)
4) Difficult take-off (steps/skating moves executed by both partners immediately preceding take-off)
5) Man’s arms sideways, being straight or almost straight, reaching at least shoulder level after release of the lady
She doesn't split, so they don't get bullet 1
She doesn't put her arms up until she's done rotation - no bullet 3 (she may sometimes have the arms up for a full rotation)
The steps weren't difficult (maybe they sometimes get credit for this one?)
They don't have a difficult take off
He reaches up for her (arms above shoulders)
Usually they get credit for the catch being correct (and I think it was here too?)
You need 1 from this list to get level 1, 2 for level 2, and so forth. (This is the latest version)
