WOMEN
Start with right foot and do just the opposite
of the man
stance is just to the left of the man with
his right foot between your feet and his left foot to your right
two variations of hold
mans right arm on ladies left shoulder
or the proper
mans right hand under ladies left arm and
on ladies back shoulder blade
Ladies left hand is to be on mans right shoulder
with elbow slightly bent
The proper tension is important
ladies and men's upper body must be slightly
stiff
not like a robot but you must keep your frame
that is keeping your arms in exactly the
same position at all times
framing is hard to teach over a long distance
but is very important
practice keeping your arms at the same position
at all times
women, don't let the man get any closer to
you while dancing that he
does when you first start the dance and take
your positions
it is your job to keep him at a distance
so that you can execute your dance properly and
the arms are the only way to do this
don't let him move in on you use your arms
to keep your
body away.
arms are always slightly bent never straight
out or locked at the elbow
they are locked at the shoulder
