Hi guys, time for another nitpicking post from me, this time on the subject of hand flourishes in MJ. I've noticed that a lot of very proficient MJ exponents such as the chap in this video (a guy called Jamie Storey, who if I'm not mistaken teaches in Leeds) often use a hand gesture when stepping back. Basically, the spare arm is crossed briefly across the chest before going on to the next movement. What I was wondering, is whether this is primarily a follower's move, or can guys do it as well? I've noticed followers doing it when dancing Rock and Roll or Jive in ballroom, and wondered what the consensus is on using it in MJ?
Also, I've noticed that in this particular vid, they're also throwing in a lot of rondes...what's the feeling on these as well?
