This step starts off with a txingo using the foot that is on the ground.  The dantzari then lifts his other knee and begins to perform the whirligig.  Assisted by the three txingos performs using the foot on the ground, the dantzari twists his body in a full turn while he continues to make whirligigs with his foot in the air until he lands and stands looking forwards.

In order to perform a whirligig while turning to the right, the txingo is done with the right foot and the whirligig with the left foot.
