5.5-9 -- Repeat above section
10 -- Man goes away from his partner with 2 sempi (L,R)

Man passes in front of the woman, woman behind to change places with the following steps (Taking hands here is suggested as optional by Domenico)

Quadernaria:

Saltarello:
1 -- Saltarello towards each other and take usual hands
2-4 -- 3 more saltarelli
