Beginner Class:
Theme:
Followers: Anchor Step is in 3rd position (Left behind Right) and
skootching backwards.
Leaders: Lead all the basics while smiling. If you can't smile while
dancing, you should think about doing something difficult like lifting
weights or classical piano.
Simple review pattern used in class:
2 Push Break
2 Basic Tuck & a Right Pass
2 Progressive Tuck & a Right Pass
2 Whip
2 Basket
Intermediate Class:
I would like to thank Nora Venne for coming back to guide our
Intermediate class.
Review:
Left pass with Leader unfold.
Right Pass with Leader inside-turn (handshake)
Left Pass (handshake) with Leader inside-turn (to regular).
Whip with Redirected Anchor to Left Side Pass.

Thank you!Guest Jane E Veneruso wrote: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 10:50 PM Erik,
Thanks so much for taking the time to give us these reminders. A little more detail highlighting key points of the moves would be ( I can't decide what terrific adjective to explain my gratitude), but I'll happily take what I can get!!! :)Guest Bob wrote: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 11:22 PM Your addition to review the steps helps a lot. Thanks for bringing Nora in to teach the Int. class, she did a great job.
I thanked her personally but wanted you to know that I enjoyed the steps she taught and got a lot out of her teaching style.
Don't mean to be a P.I.T.A., but I'm doing the Right Pass step with my left hand holding the womans right hand leading into an inside turn and not a handshake. Seems to work well for me. Like your comment. Thanks, BobSwingshoes
