Open Standard - Waltz w/Mark
Waltz:
- fallaway slip pivot [1&23]
- double reverse (may take out for less rotary choreography) [12&3]
- telespin: lady does heel turn (BR, close LtoR, FR, FORWARD Left strongly toed out) [123&]
- telemark: lady's heel turn (BR, close LtoR, FR) [123]
- oversway: pivot on R, extend left back, stretch. [&123]
Notes:
* strong acceleration in telespin begins around the forward left and into the heel turn of telemark where lady adds backwards power, but have not really lowered to step into heel turn. Optional barrel rolling action. Lady's knees slightly ahead of body during telespin.
* Timing is fuzzy to me... Leader is doing significantly fewer steps than lady! so take with skepticism.

Open Standard - Tango w/Mark
Last 2 lessons:
- 2 walks, link, closed promenade
- 2 walks, link
- fallaway whisk
* starts from promenade, SQQ RLR at this point leader has crossed in front and is backing LOD
* QQ Forward left (toe in?), Right whisks in back (but not forced, is a result of leader's actions), turning towards new LOD as left foot stays in front
* S forward on left (small) allowing leader to pass
- spins and pivots (QQQ) RLR
- lunge roll Q back left (don't go DOWN at all, stay level as leader gives some freedom in right side), snapping back on forward R
- Q&Q hold FL, XRbehind, FL on toe but flexed and relaxed knee, drifting to left while shaping to R(?)
- &SQQ XR behind, then viennese cross FL, Fslightly side R turning to left, xL in front backing LOD.
Continue viennese crosses: BR,FL, close R
- reverse slip pivot (Forward left, turning to left)
- telemark (BR turning to left, close L to right, forward R on toe)
- oversway pivots on R foot, left leg extends back (with bent knee), stretch.
Thanks Mark!
