And just because a move may be a variuation it doesn't mean it's not complex. I find some of Viktors moves very complex but other men might find them pretty easy.
As for cutting moves short...that's fine if well led and on the beat otherwise the poor woman will be off balance and woner what the hell happened to the move !!

Don't worry about all the drop dead gorgeous ones Danielle, they're far too conceited to care. Stick with us ugly sods, we'll treat you rightOriginally Posted by drathzel

Easier to explain one handed: R to ladies R, turn her as per a normal turn/return, but you change the dropping of the hand to finish; hand starts to follow the same path, but the elbow remains high and comes over to the inside of the ladies arm, hand is released and lead/contact continues with the outside of the upper arm and shoulder.Originally Posted by Sheepman
Normally I turn under it at this point, ending in a R-shoulder in-line stance facing my partner, her hand on my shoulder; slide back and sway in to finish.
Double handed is roughly the same; most of the lead is the R hand, the L just holds on.
There is also a move R to L, taking the lady forward where you point your elbow to her face(almost) then hooking it over the top of the lady's arm; I'm sure that's an elbow roll as well.
Confused yet?
