SIT

A Sit usually involves a small back step and then a relaxing of the knees and a consequent lowering of the body as if beginning to sit down. A common cue is "man Lunge, woman Sit." It is one of so many "picture" figures that allow us to pause and to pose, before launching into the next (maybe frantic) dance sequence.
