Big Top is Reverse Figure which starts from Promenade Position. Maybe it was created when dancers where interrupted to move progressively from Promenede. Man turned on spot after 1st step and put Left Foot back and so escaped from trouble. Would you like to learn Big Top in Waltz?

Note for Female students:
I have found many ladies struggle with confusing a big top with a telemark. Although there are many reasons we can point to that this shouldn't be, as the two figures are nothing alike. Nonetheless it comes up. This is because so many ladies interpret from a following perspective and both figures feel similar to them as being "Whirly" figures in which they bring their feet together. This may seem overly dumbed down but it's common, especially from female armatures who have learned most of their dancing in a following position.
A good fix for this is rather than think that the feet come "together" (as in a first foot position), think of the feet as passing thru a very tight 4th foot position in rise (or 3rd foot position). The lady may also choose to interpret arriving in this foot position as one would from a spiral in Latin with rise and straight legs.
No it is not a spiral. But it sometimes serves as a good way to get out of a bad habit.
Yes the foot does brush to the other and is referenced as together. But brushing towards may be a better mental interpretation than than together.
I'd like to note that this misinterpretation is usually due to the order in which figures are taught and often because the female student has not been taught with proper thorough technique.
This looks a good figure thank uou
Thanks Brian!
Here is a question, in the Big Top, the "Rise and Fall". Can you explain it in the Big Top, as it appears all that occurred was a flat step on 1, then rise on toes toward 2 & 3; there was no lowering going into the Big Top on one like some other moves. (Thx)
+Dancer2016 Footwork for Man is HT, T, THT which means in first step is normal heel lead. About rise and fall it's also usual: start to rise at end of 1, continue on 2, lower on 3. For Lady quicker rise: start rise at end of 1, Up on 2, 3, lower on 4.
+Egils Smagris Thanks for the reply. The usual (so I do not misunderstand) is lower from start of 1, start rise at end of 1, finish rise at 2, lower on 3. The "lower" at start of 1 was the part I wanted to confirm, as I have learned it, that was the usual for rise and fall of the Waltz.
And just a question about the lowering at 3, as per the usual of rise and fall, is the lowering at 3, at the beginning of 3 or half way into 3? - I ask this because another teacher taught that I lower at the middle of 3 to the end of 3.
Usual rise and fall in Waltz is: start rise at end of 1, continue on 2, continue on 3, lower at end of 3. This example is from Man's steps 1-3 of Natural Turn.
what is the song you are dancing to in the end? It is lovely!
+kimberlygbianco this lovely song is called "Rains will fall" by Kevin Macleod.
+Egils Smagris thanks so much!
Hi Egils, Does this figure occur in any of the main syllabus's? Or is it a figure used in "Open" like Open Gold? Perhaps I have missed it but I do not find it in the ISTD standard syllabus for example. Maybe it is just beyond the standard syllabus and thus "Open"? Where ever it fits it is certainly a very nice figure.
Hi +MrJessDancing, Big Top is "Open" class figure and I'm happy you like it. Egils
thank you very much!!
