Russell

  • shape created from swing. no swing, no shape
  • swing straight, don't turn
  • movement on step 2 is a consequence of step 1, which is a consequence of step 3...which prepares for the 1....
  • javelin from man's left buttock, through his center, up through lady's center and out to man's hand
  • Dance to your partner
  • Don't move into holes that your head sees. Holes can be created by going off in a different direction and also by not moving to fill them (lady's swinging in chasse from promenade, for example).
  • move the walls if you have to
my notes: tone in the core always helps, especially in double reverse turn and recovering from contrabody motion.

figures danced: natural turn, overturned and underturned spin turn, reverse turn, turning lock, weave to close, double reverse, outside spin,
