I used to share your video with my friends in dancing class here in Hong Kong, esp during the lock down. They have found the videos helpful. Many thanks again.
As always thanks for sharing your Foxtrot knowledge and expertise on your website . You are the undisputed champion on the internet for Ballroom dancing .
I try and copy and understand each weeks video and practice almost every day for the week and then review a few other videos. Somehow I think I will be very busy with this great lesson!
It's illuminating to see how you handled my Slow Foxtrot wdsf technique book in less then one hour. Your are probably the worlds competent and inspiring initiator and teacher. Thank you, master Smagris! Grtz from Belgium.
This is a terrific presentation. Love that you show figures that can be danced prior and after demonstrated figures. Would like a RUclips video like this one in Quickstep and Tango.
This is a veeeeery good and useful video!! Also the figures before or after the steps are very important, to see, how the figure is working in a combination. Thank you very much for all the time that you spend producing this video. I watched the most of your videos in the past years, and like them very much. The videos are very precise, and useful also for advanced dancers, because you always need basic. Is it possible to produce such videos also for the other standard dances?
Thanks for taking all of our ballroom on your shoulders! Very precious :) Only one question. Why is footwork for leaders in back feather different from that of followers' feather step?
Thank you for appreciating our videos! That’s an interesting question about the Back Feather. The book doesn’t explain why the Man’s footwork is TH T TH. However, I can think of two possible reasons: 1) Man maintains a more forward balance to have better control over the couple as a whole, 2) Man’s heels are much lower than the Lady’s.
Thank you so much for your great work. I am currently trying to teach me and my partner new figures and technique as dance schools are still closed here and your videos help so much. It is highly appreciated! And I hope as a lot of other commentators you can find the time to do other dances as well at some point :)
Thank you very much, it's a valuable resource, along with WDSF book. Visiting your youtube channel frequently. Keep up the excellent work, it is very helpful in sharing knowledge...
Yes, there are reverse figures and natural figures with heel turn on inside of turn, and without heel turn. In Reverse Turn Lady uses heel turn. In natural turn from closed position Lady uses heel turn.
Nice job. A very good summary for beginners and even for advance a great reminder of the figures. Maybe at 18:16 you might look again as after the Whisk it is not a Curved feather you dance but a Feather Ending?
I always admire your videos for their clarity and great demonstrations. This is a perfect update to your earlier syllabus videos. Since my partner and I have danced mostly "traditional" (i.e., WDO) style ballroom, can you shed light on some of the major differences between that and the more athletic WDSF style? I think that would make for an interesting video, even if you only touched on some of the highlights.
Thank you so much for sharing. Have a nice day everyone.
'One stop shopping' - all the figures in one place - very valuable! Thank you.
One 'like' is never enough. Really love EGILS' demonstrations. My heartfelt thanks!
My pleasure!

Yes, Peter, you'll be very busy :) Great to hear that you regularly practice our videos.
It's illuminating to see how you handled my Slow Foxtrot wdsf technique book in less then one hour. Your are probably the worlds competent and inspiring initiator and teacher. Thank you, master Smagris! Grtz from Belgium.
Thanks Franky, really glad you enjoyed this slow foxtrot!
Simply fabulous! Thank you Egils for this excellent content!
Thank You, Egils Smagris You are the best . Your basics are so helpful.
Благодарю за такое прекрасное видео, я благодаря вашим видео поняла как делается левый поворот в венском вальсе. 🙏
Thank you Egils... Brilliant resource for practicing ... have just started back after a long time no dancing
This video is immensely helpful - thank you!
Eglis is the best, thank you so much for this great video, such a pleasure to watch you and your team
You’re very welcome!
Thank you for this Egils, excellent ad always. I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials.
Pat, I'm really glad you enjoy our tutorials!
@@EgilsSmagris it is o my list to attend one of your training camps Egils. When we get to travel again.
@@patslattery4137 don’t know when we’ll be allowed to dance in ballroom. At moment it’s possible only outside.
This is a terrific presentation. Love that you show figures that can be danced prior and after demonstrated figures. Would like a RUclips video like this one in Quickstep and Tango.
Thanks for appreciating this video and I hope in the future to make other standard videos like this.
Dddded dresser we’rer
I wish I could practice again. Its difficult to dance during the pandemic.
Thanks for the Video.
Wish to enjoy practice as soon as possible!
This video is answer to my prayers
You’re very welcome!
❤สวัสดีค่ะตอนนี้กำลังชมอยู่ค่ะ
Thank you ! Is a good video, hope to see more video like Waltz,Tango,Quickstep and VW .

Thanks Peter for appreciating our videos. I will put in my future plans to make figure “catalogue” to other standard dances.
These are really great. Hope you can make same kind for the other dances in the future!

This is absolutely great!! Thanks!!!
СУПЕР! СПАСИБО!
Amazing! Thank you! xoxoxo
ชอบค่ะติดตามอาจารย์อยู่ค่ะ❤
This is fantastic!
云いですぬ😊スローからクイックに入るタイミング云いですぬ😊とても勉強になります、最高です😊何時も見ていますがベーシックステップとても勉強になります😊✌️

Alexandra, you’re very welcome! Thanks for encouraging me to think about other dances in future.
Thank you very much, it's a valuable resource, along with WDSF book. Visiting your youtube channel frequently. Keep up the excellent work, it is very helpful in sharing knowledge...
You're very welcome!
Enorme Mühe, was für eine Arbeit. Prima gemacht 😍
Gern geschehen! You're very welcome!
The only sad thing is that I can only like the video once. Excellent job!
Wish you be able also practice!
@@EgilsSmagris thanks Egils, the best place we have is an external paved terrace at school at the moment. We can't practice indoors yet.
@@noprobllama9747 same here in Riga, Latvia 🇱🇻
Thank you for this video, Egils!
Good lesson. If a couple demonstrate the steps, it will be much better.
Fantastisch!!! Thank you!
Welcome
Tikai latviski, lūdzu!
So are there 2 ways to do a Reverse Turn and a Natural Turn? one with the heel turn (lady's part) and one without it?
Yes, there are reverse figures and natural figures with heel turn on inside of turn, and without heel turn. In Reverse Turn Lady uses heel turn. In natural turn from closed position Lady uses heel turn.
Thank you. But, if a routine has a Reverse Turn, how does one know which one it is to be? With heel turn or no heel turn?
Reverse Turn is with Lady’s heel turn. Man by his movement can lead Lady to close feet in second step.
Thank you
MERCI ! Thank you.
Welcome!!
Nice job. A very good summary for beginners and even for advance a great reminder of the figures. Maybe at 18:16 you might look again as after the Whisk it is not a Curved feather you dance but a Feather Ending?
Thank you❤
You’re very welcome!
Egils, can you provide step diagrams (foot diagrams) for these figures?
Step diagrams can be very useful!
I guess it means to make Book in PDF format
@@EgilsSmagris
Egils, in whatever forms!
At the moment I’m busy with many things so I will put this to my future plans
@@EgilsSmagris
Thank you， Egils.
Perfect tutorial! Can you make the same for all other dances please? That will be of immense value !
Thanks! I will put it to my future plans.
You have agentle soul💜💜💜

Thanks for appreciating our dance videos and interesting idea for future video!
I really appreciate the good work of Eglis summarizing the figures. I had wished WDSF would have done the job - but greatufl Eglis die. Many thanks
This is very good! I love this, i hope you can make the other dances (waltz, tango etc) ❤
Thanks for appreciating this video. I will put other dances (W T Q) for similar video to my future plans.
Thats GREAT!!! Thank you! - Is it existing alsofor TA/SW/QS?
Welcome! This kind of video is only for Slow Foxtrot. I might put other dances “catalogue” to my future plans.
Best for practice..
❤อยู่ที่เมืองไทยค่ะ
