Whip with Hand Change

A whip in which the leader changes the connected hand mid-figure — commonly behind the leader's back at the post, or overhead during the follower's return — ending the pattern in the opposite handhold.

Mostly a connective-tissue pattern: hand changes are how leaders set up the next figure (wraps, two-hand patterns, tandem shapes) without stopping the dance. Clean hand changes are quiet; if the follower feels the swap, it was late.
