| I find ending with a flourish on the beat not only very difficult but real good fun trying. Just to see the look on the ladies face as I start doing man-spin after man-spin to fill in a gap and then to start the intended move, realise that I have dropped her to my left hand side two beats early and then have to twirl her to my right hand side and drop her too late for the beat!
Hey - you don't have to have style or be technically correct to have fun, fun fun!
Serously, though, with a good partner, one can truncate moves. For instance, for the First move drop, I would normally turn the lady out and then back before dropping her. However, if the music demands it, I might just pull her in and drop her straight away. I would repeat that it is important that you can lead well, the lady responds to leads and does not second guess the whole move and that the lady can also feel that something is going to have to change to pick up the mosic break. |
