Pickup [Abbreviations] pu
Usually the woman steps forward on her left foot and turns left-face to face the man and reverse line of dance in closed position. Both the figure (in Waltz) and the action consist of just the one step. But a Pickup seems so much like a "woman's maneuver" that the cue sometimes is used as short for "pickup, side, close."
