Video Clips

Bronze Level Video by Joe Baker  (The Dance Store Online)

Includes:

bullet"Prep Turns" Check, Check, Turn to Left
These are very popular in social dancing. These prep turns are often danced with the lady in cape (sweetheart) position. This move is a logical next step after step #9 above. This tape shows prep turns danced in cape position, in right side wrap position, and in skater's (cuddle) position.
bulletThe Turning Basic also called a Revolve
This figure is an extremely important figure in the two step. The turning basic can be used to begin many figures and it can be used to initiate hand changes. Revolving figures performed in partnership like this are also fun.
bulletPromenade Position Matching Action (Mirrored) Vine Step
Super easy to lead, lots of fun and handy for setting up fast revolves that can be danced on the quick, quick.
bulletPush-Off Vine Step and Synchronous Free Spins
A patty-cake "push-off" vine step precedes the flick turns.
bulletHigh / Low Hand Changes to Reverse Open Promenade
These "windmill-like" hand changes can get the follower dizzy in a hurry. They also give the leader a chance to make a hand change or to kill time while he's trying to figure out which hand he wants to lead with.
bulletThe Check Weave (also called "Laces")
This is the "standard" weave. Another quintessential figure in the two step, the partners switch tracks back and forth while performing a "she goes / he goes" swing-dance-like figure.
