5 Both turning to face LOD step forward (His L, Her R) to prepare for shoulder roll (this foot will be planted and will basically stay on the same spot for the rest of the shoulder roll).

6 Step forward (His R, Her L) both start to turn under the front joined hands (he turns L, she turns R). His R & Her L hands will float free from closed position.
