-
Three steps forward, compressing and extending on 1, rising and
taking shorter steps on 2 and 3.
-
Same footwork as Samba Whisks, Two Step, or Cumbia, but in
Viennese Waltz Timing
-
First three steps get me around lady
1, RF forward, between lady's feet, while turning frame right
2, LF side
3, RF cross, turning frame right
Second three steps allow lady to get around me
4, LF side, crossing lady's path.
5, RF hook, turning frame right.

As taught by Jeffrey Lynn
RF forward, QT right, with shaping, stepping between lady's feet, heel
lead
LF side, rising.
Slide RF to LF, keeping heel on floor.
QT left, LF back
QT left, RF toe side, short.
Slide LF to right.
Feeling is that on first half, I am doing all the traveling, she
stays still, and then we switch roles on the second half, so on
second half, it is a small side together.

As taught by Jeffrey Lynn
LF forward, QT left.
RF side.
LF cross, QT left, with feeling of heading back toward the
lady.
RF back.
LF hook, placing only inside edge of ball.
Heel turn of RF, to bring it next to and behind LF, as we
complete the turn.
Same feeling as for Right Turn, of I travel, then she travels.
-
As taught by Jeffrey Lynn
Just three forward steps.
Feeling is not just of stopping rotation, but of rotating the
other way. So, on change from Left Turn, focus on driving the left
side forward, instead of letting the turn continue into the change.
-
As taught by Jeffrey Lynn.
From Left Turn, LF forward, then let her continue past me,
pointing my RF out, and make sure I stay over my LF. I should be
like a post that she is dancing around. On next measure, RF forward,
again, point LF out, and let her swing around the post I make.
When lady goes to my left, shaping is such that my left side goes
up, like we are pouring water out of a barrel to my right. When lady
is to my right, right side goes up and left side goes down.
-
1, LF forward, turning frame left
2, RF side, turning frame left
3, LF cross
4, RF short step back.
5, LF hook, turning frame left
6, RF feet together, turning frame left.
-
Start with left whisk. On right whisk, do it in place, change her
RH to my RH, and let her walk around to catch my LH with hers, by my
shoulder.
Several forward basics
Lead her to walk around in front of me and do a clockwise turn,
and the she goes behind me again.
Finish up by having her complete the turn in front of me and
taking closed position again.
-
Just like in Waltz
-
Lead her to step back as if I was doing a forward hesitation, and
then, step back away from her into hesitation
Left hesitation, coming toward her slightly, and leading UAT
Right Hesitation to finish
-
Forward Hesitation
Back half of box, turning QT left
-
Forward Hesitation
1, RF heel forward
2, LF toe forward
3, RF toe-heel forward
-
On hesitation right, change to promenade position
LF forward, collect RF, hesitate.
123, RF through in PP, then close up on 23
-
After Promenade Hesitation, RF through on 1, then turn frame on
23 as lady walk around to closed position.
-
Like all the other rock turns.
1. LF heel forward, as I turn frame left
2. Turning left on ball of LF, rock back on RF toe.
3. Turning left on ball of RF, rock back onto LF toe, and then
lower to heel.
123, back half of left turning box.
I want the turn to happen in place, with no more travel than one
step, and the turn has to be sharp to distinguish it from the left
cross turn.
-
Promenade Hesitation.
Wing: RF forward in promenade, then lead lady to continue until
she is outside partner.
1. LF forward, outside partner (down LOD)
23. Lead inside turn, using progressive basic.
123. Right Balancette.
123. Lead UAT right, doing Balancette.
123. Hesitation to right.
-
Feels like Samba Boto Fogo
1. LF forward.
2. RF forward, turn frame to outside partner left.
3. LF outside partner.
1. RF outside partner on my left.
2. LF forward.
3. RF outside partner on my right.
Repeat once or twice.
on LF 1., hesitate, giving partner a chance to develope. Then
back left box to complete. Need to slow down on previous measure to
lead this.
On the hesitation at the end, I want a feeling of lowering, and
then rising up on the 23, stretching my left side to lead her to
turn her head right.
-
Promenade hesitation facing DW so I end up backing LOD.
1. LF back, turning right.
2. RF forward, DC.
3. LF forward.
-
On Curtsy (like Samba Paulista), lower down on supporting leg for
one measure.
-
After curtsy with lady on my left, start running around her to
left (clockwise circle). Feels like Samba roundabout.
When RF is free for 1., and we are facing down LOD, side
hesitation to right.
-
Start with spirals.
As I'm finishing spiral to the right, start to open her up,
raising my left arm.
123. Lead her into outside turn, so that we are side by side.
123. RF toward her, LF side as I turn to face her, RF feet
together, as I lead her into inside turn into closed position,
catching her back with my right hand as she turn.
Go right into left cross turn.
For grande circle, starting from when we are side by side.
As I lead lady toward me, I step RF toward her under my left arm,
and the next two steps I am doing a U-Turn, to get side by side with
her again.
I can end it either with a boto-fogo like step, or a fan like in
tango.
-
Like left cross turn, only making it stay in place.
1. LF forward.
2. RF cuts across lady.
3. LF crosses RF.
4. RF side, continuing circle.
5. LF hook.
6. RF feet together.
Lady does the same thing, with 1 switched for 4.
