I am trying to understand what ladies do with their feet!
Consider a simple "first move"
1. Step back
&
2 Pull her towards you on RHS
&
3 Twist her out 180 CW
&
4 Twist her back to face, raising left hand
&
5 Turn her CW 360
&
6 Step apart under tension
&
7 Return her ACW 360
&
8 Step apart under tension
CW= Clockwise, ACW = anti-clockwise, RHS=right hand side
I want to know what happens to her feet between beats 5 and 7, that is which foot is she placing her weight on each music beat, ie 5, &, 6, & 7? I had a look last night and they all go so quickly, some with kicks, taps and triple-steps!
I will offer three possibilities, but am hoping for more:
A - Even step - turning on same foot in both directions:
5 Turn CW on right foot
& Step to the side on left
6 Step back on right
& Step in on left
7 Turn ACW on right foot
B - Use of tap or kick
5 Turn CW on right foot
& Step to the side on left
6 Step back on right
& Tap/kick left in place
7 Step in and turn ACW on left
C Use of triple-step
5 Turn CW on right foot
& Step to the side on left
6 Perform triple step, ie step on right then left 1/2 beat later
& Finish triple step on right
7 Step in and turn ACW on Left.
Are there any other variations?
