Hi, Egils! Sorry If my question seems tricky (it's about exercie 4:21 Nat Turn - Closed Change - Reverse Turn - Closed Change) but why you choose "Rock-Rock-Nat Turn-Rock-Rock-Change-Reverse Turn-Change" but not "Rock-Rock-Nat Turn-Change-Rock-Rock-Reverse Turn-Change" ? (I shortened "swing-rock-rock" to single word "rock").
Hi Evgeniy! Interesting question. It could work also in Your version - if you do Rock exercise with your left leg forward before Reverse Turn. In Reverse Turn Man should swing less in order to allow Lady to cross his line of movement. In Natural Turn Swing forward is stronger therefore I choose my version where both exercises with the right leg.
Hi Egils! It is interesting what is your opinion about pros and cons of your exercise on 1:15 (swing-rock-rock) comparing with another one: swing-rock-rock plus additional even number of rock steps keeping position on ball of foots. For example, for steps "swing-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock" count could be 123,123,123 or for steps "swing-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock" it could be 123,12&3 ?
@@lisenkoevg Thought provoking idea. If I wanted to do Exercise for Swing and Balanced Movement on the Toes, then it would start with right foot forward 123 123& (swing, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock). And then the same with left foot back. This would be a more difficult level exercise.

I remember learning this dance years ago, but I was taught that the man always started forward on his left foot and backwards on his right. It looks like you do the complete opposite. Obviously you are a pro and a great dancer, so was just wandering if there was any rhyme or reason for either.
Thanks for your question! The foot we start with depends on the figure we're dancing. For a reverse figure (turning left), the man starts with his left foot. For a natural figure (turning right), the man starts with his right foot forward. However, we can use a preparation step to start with the left foot.

@@EgilsSmagris Great Answer, Thanks! I guess I never got far enough in the class to go the right LOL! I think you're videos are the fantastic! Body frame make such a huge difference and I've never really seen it taught quite like the way you teach it.
utilissimo video grazie ❤
