Alexey, thanks! That's awesome. I've checked some dance videos lately and discovered that different people are doing lock step in a different way. Thinking is it right, is it wrong, why they are doing that way and these are doing another way) this is the answer - there are several lock step options. Thaaanks
I also know that there is a Continuous Lock Step for the follower after you do the Hockey Stick - overturning the Follower into a Overturned Hockey Stick on "4 and 1", then back to Open facing on "2 and 3", and then back to Overturned Position (or RSP) on "4 and 1 and 2 and 3", and so forth. Another Lock Step that is Continuous in Cha-Cha comes in the Regressive and Progressive 3 Cha-Cha-Chas which is used as an Advanced Variation if one does the lock step, with the timing - 4 and 1 (hold 2) and 3 and 4 and 1, 2 3, 4 and 1 (hold 2) and 3 and 4 and 1, 2 3. You do the "Cuban breaks" on the 2 3 between each lock step series. The "hold 2", Alexey, as you know already, is this so-famously-called "guapacha timing". I love guapacha timing myself too! It puts some more joy and competitive excitement in my International cha-cha dancing!!! I also studied the old ISTD books and found another lock step that is continuous in cha-cha, called the Merengue Cross. The old books call it the "Travelling Merengue Cross" or "Travelling Merengue Crosses". Fortunately, I was schooled in merengue because I used to be merengue-clubbing in the late 1990s, so I think of this "merengue cross" as you are doing a merengue action while lock-stepping in cha-cha. I know what merengue is - the dance. From the Dominican Republic. Sadly, merengue is mainly a club dance - but there are merengue competitions that are still done, but not the scope as what it is in cha-cha. Cha-cha is still the heavily-loved competitive dance - more than even the merengue!
Yet another great tutorial from you. Thank you.

Thanks Alexey for your videos, but to tell you the truth, it's quite difficult to do the steps you are instructing us...
