Cool as those are, I was hoping for a look at how to flourish the actual balance. The step-touch-step-something is what we old geezers learned as the "simple" balance for beginners. That it makes it easy to do a variety of under-arm twirls and spins is cool. But I would still love it if someone besides myself would bring back the "show off" balance, where you step and kick as high as you can -- like we used to do in the 80s, or some fancy tapping moves -- like I still love to do. Perhaps I'll make a youtube one of these days...
Anyway, thanks for your cool moves.
