THE SKATER’S MARCH Originated by: Irvin & Nazzaro

Music: March 2/4 or 4/4 Tempo: 100 Beats Hold: Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes: The dance start on count 1 of measure of music, the first step of the dance must be step 1.

Steps 1 to 6 comprise the straightaway sequence of this dance.

Steps 4,5 & 6 make up an eight beat centre lobe, with steps 4 and 5 completing the first half and the four beat RFO swing (swing extended free leg forward on third beat) beginning at approximately the top of the lobe and returning to the baseline. The baseline of this dance only covers the centre lobe edges. Both parts of the barrier edge lobbing should be symmetrical and arranged proportionately to suit rink condition.

Steps 7 to 14 make up the remainder of this dance. On very small rinks it may be necessary to use steps 7 to 10, (steps 11 to 14 are a repeat of steps 7 to 10).

In line progressives should not be accepted as correct technique for step 4, XF-RFO and step 10, XF-RFI. These steps are crossed tracing-crossed foot progressive take-off. There should be no noticeable forward-backward-forward movement of the right foot in these steps. The aim is out, so that the arc of the pattern will not be disturbed.

The left foot is stroked into the crossed chasse position for step 5, XB-LFI and is a crossed tracing-crossed foot movement.

Attention points:

- A clear and correct Kilian position must be kept throughout the dance. - Steps 4, 5, 10 & 14 must be crossed - Step 6 RFO swing – No change of edge

COUNTRY POLKA Originated by: Edward O’neil (modified)

Music: Polka 2/4 Tempo: 100 Beats Hold: Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes: All steps in this dance are progressive steps with the exception of step 4 and 8 of the corner.

Step 1 – 8 make up the corner sequence of this dance.

Step 3 is a LFO of two beats. It is performed with a soft knee bend which is also emphasised on the second beat to prepare for the following step which is a RFIXB: immediately after the cross behind the free leg is stretched ahead, and the free foot returns to the side of the employed foot on the second beat.

Step 9 – 12 make up the straightaway sequence of this dance.

Step 9 and 12 of the straightaway LFOI, six beats and RFOI, six beats. During the first two beats, the free leg is brought forward. The skating knee is then bent with the free leg extended fully in front and the outer toe wheel touches the surface directly in front of the skating foot. On the third beat. immediately after touching the floor, the free foot begins to travel to the rear. When the free foot arrives beside the skating foot, which should be on the 4th beat, the edge is changed from outside to inside. The free leg is then extended fully to the back and the inner toe wheel is touched on the surface directly in line with the skating foot, on the 5th beat.

Attention points:

- Steps 4 & 8 must be crossed. - During the execution of steps 9 & 12, attention must be paid to change of

edge (timing & edge). A good change of edge will ensure a good pattern. - Progressive steps must be good progressive steps. - Correct Kilian position must be held throughout the dance.

DENVER SHUFFLE Originated by: Briggs & Johnson

Music: Polka 2/4 Tempo: 100 Beats Hold: Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes: In this dance the steps are the same for Lady & Gentleman.

Steps 4, 10 & 17 are raised chasse’s

This dance features a “slide” movement on steps 6 & 7. During the preparation for step 6, the right skate is brought up parallel to and alongside the left skate.

With both skates in contact with the surface, the body weight is transferred to the right skate, with the left skate sliding forward into a leading position, all eight wheels being on the skating surface. In preparation for step 7, the left skate slides back and parallel to the right skate. During step 7, the body weight is transferred to the left skate and the right skate now slides forward into a leading position, all eight wheels being on the skating surface. The slide movement is NOT a dance split, with the body weight equally distributed between the two skates. There should be no noticeable hesitation between the execution of the two slides.

All four wheels of the right skate are to be lifted from the skating surface in preparation for step 8, the TWO beat XF-RFI.

Steps, 2, 8 & 14 are crossed progressive strokes.

The dance should be skated lively, with a bold approach to step execution.

It’s essential that the dance be controlled during the skating of the centre lobes edges so as not distort the pattern at the corners of the rink.

11

Attention points:

- Steps 6 & 7 are slide steps, on edges, NOT flats - Step 8 is a Crossed in Front RFI. It is very important that at the end

of step 7 the right skate raises from the floor before the cross preparing for step 8

- Steps 2,8 & 14 must be executed with the cross very close - Correct Kilian position must be held throughout the dance. - Step 13 LFO run – must be an outside edge - Step 15 must be a crossed behind

FOURTEEN STEP Originated by: Franz Scholler

Music: March 4/4 or 2/4 Tempo: 108 Beats Hold: Waltz and Partial Outside Pattern: Set

Notes: The dance begins with a sequence of three steps (step 2 being a run) forming a lobe curving towards, then away from, the barrier, followed by a four beat swing roll (step 4) curving the opposite way.

This is followed by another sequence for both partners, steps 5, 6 and 7 being a repetition of the opening three steps, and step 7 is to skated slightly less deep than step 3, after which the lady turns forward on step 8 and skates close beside the man in momentary open position.

The partner's shoulders should be parallel to each other and to the tracings.

After the man's mohawk on step 9 he should check his rotation with his shoulders and both partner's shoulders should remain approximately flat to the tracings around the end of the rink (steps 10-14).

On step 9 (RFI) the lady crosses her foot behind for a cross chasse and step 11 is a run.

On step 10 the man steps close beside the skating foot but on step 11 (LBI) he runs backwards and on step 13 he crosses in front.

At the end of step 13 the man is turning forward ready to commence step 14.

The lady skates an open mohawk on steps 12 and 13.

Attention points:

- Make sure all progressive steps are really progressive. - The closed position MUST be maintained during the swing on step 4

with no change of edge - Correct execution of step 8 of the man (Open Mohawk) and steps 7,8 & 9,

of the lady (Open Mohawk followed by a cross chasses) - Correct execution of Open Mohawk of the lady (steps 12 &13)

KILIAN Originated by: Karl Schreiter

Music: March 2/4 or 4/4 Tempo: 108 Beats Hold: Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes: The Kilian is a test of close and accurate footwork, unison of rotation and control. Upright body posture is required throughout the dance and the partners should look up - not down.

The man's right hand should clasp the lady's right hand and keep it firmly pressed on her right hip to avoid separation. The man's hand should clasp her left hand so that her left arm is firmly extended across his body throughout the dance and the clockwise rotation well controlled.

Step 1 must begin on the strong beat of the music. There are 14 steps skated to 16 beats of music. Steps 3 and 4 are the only ones held for two beats and MUST be outside edges. All others are one beat steps. Step 2 is a run. Step 3 is held for two beats and should cut inside the arc of the circle (i.e. the continuous axis).

Step 4 is a two beat (RFO) which should cut outward to the arc of the circle and should be a true outside edge. Correct lean towards the outside of the circle is most important on this edge.

Step 5 is a run and during steps 5, 6 and 7 the lean is into the circle.

At the start of step 8, the lean shifts towards the outside of the circle and this lean is maintained through step 9. Step 8 (RFO) is a crossed forward step while step 9 (LFI) is crossed behind.

Steps 9 and 10 constitute an open choctaw. Strong shoulder checking is needed at the start of step 10 in order to counteract the turning movement. The right skate takes the floor on the inner edge side of the instep of the old skating foot in momentary open hip position. The new (left) free foot, leaves the floor in open hip position, and at step 11 crosses behind the skating foot to a LBI edge.

Step 12 (RBO) is a close step.

Step 13 (LBI) is crossed in front

Step 14 (RFI) should be stepped close to the heel of the skating foot. This is a one beat edge.

21

Attention points:

- Steps 3 and 4 must have good outside edges - Pay attention to steps 5,6 & 7 that must be progressive steps - Steps 9 &10 – good inside edge on Step 9 and good outside edge

on step 10 – the Choctaw must be done smoothly without jumping.

- Step 11 must be an inside edge not flat. - Attention to step 14 for the man. This step must be struck from

the side of the skating foot, in line, and NOT behind the lady.

The left foot begins a half three turn with the right foot close (parallel) then the right foot skates a right forward inside. At the end of the step the free leg crosses behind the skating foot. The partners skate separately, turning counter clockwise. The lady goes to the man’s back and the couple take up reverse Kilian position. - Step 13 for the Man – 13a/13b for the Lady – The partners make a left forward outside cross roll; on the second beat the man skates a three turn while the lady makes a right forward inside chasse. - Steps 14 and 15 are in Closed position (Waltz) - Steps 16a/16b for the Man – 16 for the Lady. The Man makes a right back outside and a left chasse; the Lady makes a left forward outside and then a three turn. - Steps 17 and 18 are in Reverse Kilian position. - Step 19. It begins with the couple in Reverse Kilian position right back outside ; the left leg, which is forward has to be taken backwards (swing) with a strong movement, to prepare the next step. - Step 20. With the execution of the Closed Mohawk (left forward outside) the couple will be in Kilian position, the right leg forward and stretched. The Kilian position will remain until step 27. - Steps 23 and 14: They are two very short steps, made only in one beat of the music: with step 23 (right forward outside) the partners cross in front and quickly skate a left inside edge crossed behind - Step 25. Cup step; It is a Chasse where the free foot swings forward. - Step 28 a-b-c-d; It is a particular step of five beats of music, which starts in Kilian position.: 28a – left forward outside run (1 beat); 28b – the right foot is taken close, parallel to the left foot and immediately the couple go into a thrust, during the 2nd beat (thrust: left and right foot together on the floor; then left knee is very bent and pushed forward; the right let is stretched back;

26

28c – the couple remain on a left outside edge and the right skate, gliding on the floor, swings forward; the couple change into tandem position (lady in front (left skates in the same line ), both legs are stretched;28d – 4 and 5 beats – the right leg comes back (right foot is close near left foot) so the couple change from forward outside to left forward inside, the lady goes to the left side of the man; in this position the left hands of the partners are held and lifted over the lady’s head, the right hands held on the lady’s right hip. This hold remains during steps 29 and 30. - Step 39. (this step begins in the same position as step 28d) cross left forward; the couple make a three turn on the 2nd beat. - Step 31. Kilian position; this position remains until the end of the dance. - Steps from 35 to 37: Step 35 is a RFO cross roll, step 36 is skated on the flat with both skates on the floor. (Flat, the skaters bring their left feet close to the right, throwing all their weight on the left and pushing the right leg forward); then lift the right foot from the floor, the couple skate a cut-step right forward inside (step 37)

Attention points:

-Attention to the correct timing of the steps 9 -10,24 and 25 (half beat each) also the step 28 (5 beats). -Precise execution of the change of hold during the step 10. -Closed mohawk between steps 19 and 20 and correct execution of the step 21which must not be crossed. -Step 28 : change of positions and change of edge maintaining fluidity.

QUICKSTEP Originated by: Reginald Wilkie & Daphne Wallis

Music: Quickstep 2/4 Tempo: 112 Beats Hold: Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes: The partners dance in Kilian position. The steps are the same for both lady and man. The dance must be skated in keeping with the music which is fast and of bright character.

Step 2 A chasse.

Step 4 A run

Step 5 A 4 beat LFO forming the first part of a swing Choctaw. Prior to the turn the lady must be against the man's hip and following along his tracing.

Step 6 A change of edge RBI-O held for three beats. The free foot goes forward on 1st beat, then is drawn down on the 2nd beside the skating foot and swung smoothly outward and backward to aid in making the change of edge on the 3rd beat, which should be distinct.

The remaining steps should be skated with plenty of life and the edges on steps 7, 8 and 9 should be as deep as possible.

Step 7 Started crossed behind.

Step 10 Although it is held for four beats, it is a light edge started with the knee well bent.

Step 14 is a run

To ensure a really good performance it is essential that the pair remains hip to hip that is, the man's right hip against the lady's left.

Many skaters experience difficulty in striking from RBO to LBI (Steps 10 and 11), the right outside should be well controlled and the lady must have no tendency to swing in front of the man.

Steps 13 to 18 are skated very lightly, but a tripping character should be imparted to them.

On step 17, the right foot is held in front before being crossed in front for step 18.

30

Attention Points:

- Step 5 must have a good outside edge maintained until the execution of the Choctaw, which must be done smoothly, and in correct time.

- Attention to the change of edge on step 6 and make sure Step 7 is a LBI XB - Steps 9 &10 are crosses made very close. - Steps 11 &12 must have good inside edges. - Change of edge on step 17 is short but must be clear. - The Kilian position must be maintained.

PASO DOBLE Originated by: Reginald Wilkie & Daphne Wallis

Music: Paso Doble 2/4 Tempo: 112 Beats Hold: Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot Pattern: Set

Notes: All edges are of one beat, except one two beat (Step 17) and one three beat (step 28) for the lady, and two two beat (steps 17 and 20) and one three beat (step 28) for the man.

The partner's relative positions change during the dance. Steps 1 to 15 are skated in Tango position, steps 16 to 20 in Waltz position, and steps 21 to 28 in Foxtrot position.

The dance starts with a run (step 2) followed by two chasses (steps 4 and 6), forward for the man and backward for the lady. The man keeps his partner to his right, hip to hip (Tango position) to step 15.

Steps 8 and 9 are, however, most unusual being skated on the flat with both feet on the skating surface and foot sliding by foot very closely. The man brings his right foot (step 8) close to the left with both knees straightened, throwing all his weight on his right and then bending this knee strongly, allowing the left leg, rigidly held, to shoot forward without being lifted from the skating surface. For step 9 his feet are reversed, the left foot being brought back to the right then the left knee is flexed, pushing the stiffened right leg forward on the rink.

The steps for the lady correspond, except that she is travelling backwards. On her step 8 the weight is transferred to the left foot, which is bent as her right foot passes to the front, followed by transferring the weight to the right foot as the left foot moves forward for step 9.

Step 10 must not be slurred but the feet lifted distinctly from the skating surface. The following change of edge (step 11) should be skated boldly by both and the effect to be attained is a pronounced outward bulge of the pattern.

The man's steps 12-16 consist of a crossed in front RFI (step 12), a RFI Run (step 14) and a mohawk begun crossed behind (steps 15 and 16), whilst his partner skates LBI crossed behind (step 12), RBO (Step 13), LBI crossed behind (step 14), RBO (step 15) and a front crossed LBI (step 16).

The following two beat edge on step 17, where the man extends his free leg in front to match the lady's which is held behind on her corresponding RFI edge, is the first two beat edge in the dance, and the first of four consecutive edges skated in waltz position.

33

The man then makes a backward chasse, LBI crossed in front (step 19), then a two beat RBO (step 20) and turning forward into Foxtrot position skates a chasse (step 22) and run (step 24). During this period the lady is skating a forward cross chasse (step 19) followed by two open chasses (steps 20-22) and a run (step 24). The first (step 20) of the two open chasses is skated by the lady in two steps (steps 20a and 20b) of one beat each, during which the man does a RBO edge (step 20) of two beats.

The lady's steps 21-28 are identical with the man's with the exception of the end step 28, when she skates a short open swing mohawk to enable her to start the dance sequence again in Tango position.

Probably the most difficult portion of the dance is the cross rolling movement on steps 26, 27 and 28, where the man's and lady's edges are identical except for the final part of the last step. These edges must be definitely cross rolled, the deeper the cross roll the better. This necessitates very supple knee action and usually takes considerable practice to do well, owing to the fast tempo of the dance and the fact that these cross rolls last only one beat of the music each.

On the last cross roll, step 28, (a 3 beat edge) both partners skate a bold RFO which changes to RFI. The free legs are swung a little to the front and then back to the heel, while the man remains on the RFI and the lady makes a quick open mohawk to LBI and immediately places her right foot down close to the left on RBO, which is the opening step of the repetition of the dance sequence.

Perhaps the pattern might be called a ragged ellipse distorted here and there by inward and outward bulges.

As to the contour of the dance: the opening steps ( 1 and 2) are on a curve, but the general direction of the chasse and scissor steps (3-9) is rather straight. Steps 10 and 11 are a sudden outward bulge, followed by steps 12 to 25 which are all on a true circle. After this come outward and inward deviations on the cross rolls, steps 26 to 28, and finally an outward bulge at the end of step 28.

Attention points:

- Pay attention to steps 4,6,19,20 & 22 which are chasses - Steps 8 & 9 must be skated on a FLAT - Step 10 – right foot must be lifted and put across into a crossed-in-front

position - not kept on the floor- Change of edge on step 11 must be strong and clear - Steps 26,27 & 28 are quick cross rolls on edges made smooth without - jumping.

TUDOR WALTZ Originated by: Ronald E.Gibbs

Music: Waltz 3/4 Tempo: 144 Beats Hold: Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes: Steps 1,2 & 3 and steps 4,5 & 6 are chassé sequences On step 7 (LFO) allow the right shoulders to turn back in line with the tracing in readiness for the RBO closed Mohawk on step 8. After the mohawk on step 8, the position of the man's free leg is along the inside of the lady's skating foot. On the 4th beat of step 8, the free legs are swung back, with the lady's free leg along the inside of her partner's skating foot. The left shoulders should be held back during all of the six beats during which an edge MUST be maintained. Steps 9, 10 and 11 are a chassé aimed across the end of the rink. On step 12 (cross roll RFOI, 9 beats of music) the free legs are held back for three beats. On the fourth beat, the legs are swing forward and then backward on the seventh beat, the change to RFI being held for three beats. The Kilian hold is maintained throughout the dance. Partners must skate close together, without parting at the hips, and the shoulders must be held in parallel position. The rhythm and lilt of the waltz must be emphasised.

Attention points

- Steps 2,5 & 10 are side by side chasses - Step 7 must be a good LFO with no change of edge - Step 8 Closed Mohawk, must be done in time and with the foot close and

skated with a good outside edge and swung free leg.- Pay attention to the timing of the change of edge on step 12 – this

must be done on the 7th beat. - Kilian position must be held throughout the dance.

KLEINER (LITTLE) WALTZ Originated by: Hans Jurgen Schamberger

Music: Waltz 3/4 Tempo: 138 Beats Hold: Waltz Pattern: Set

Notes:The waltz is skated in waltz position along the base line. The dance consists of a chasse step series along the length of the rink, forward for the man and backwards for the lady.

The chasses, as in Glide Waltz, are broken by a three beat outside edge which must be taken from the side of the employed foot to obtain a good outside edge.

Special attention must be paid to the quality of the chasses.

The first step is a two beat edge with a good stretched free leg. On step 3 the free foot should be set down by the side of the employed foot with a slight knee bend. The former employed foot should be clearly lifted when skating a good chasse.

On step 12 at the end of the rink, the man skates a three turn, while the lady turns to forwards. The turn is made on the third beat.

Step 13 is a six beat outside edge swing for both skaters followed by two chasse step series.

At the end of the rink on step 19 the lady does a three turn whilst the man changes to forward.

After a six beat edge the repetition of the dance is started on the opposite side of the rink to the start.

Attention points:

- Correct execution of Chasses - Pay attention to the edges of steps 1-11. This is important so

as to have a good pattern. - Attention that steps 13 & 16 are outside edges with no change of edge. - The Waltz position must be kept in all parts of the dance.

KLEINER (LITTLE) WALTZ

48

EUROPEAN WALTZ First performed about 1900 but Originator unknown.

Music: Waltz 3/4 Tempo: 120 Beats Hold: Reverse Waltz Pattern: Set

Notes: The basic edges of the European Waltz consist of a three turn, an outside back edge, and an outside forward edge for the man, while the lady skates an outside back edge. Semi circular lobes of these three edges are skated along the sides of the rink first starting towards the long axis, the second starting towards the barrier, etc.

It’s possible insert 3, 4 or 5 three, but chosen the number in the first sequence the team must use this number until the end. Judges will penalize severally for this mistake.

The lobes along the sides of the rink are connected across the rink ends by larger lobes in which the three sequences have been increased by adding several more three turns and back edges for each partner.

Commence all edges on a bent tracing knee with tracing shoulder slightly ahead – never with the free shoulder leading.

The man's three turn at the beginning of each lobe is started as a cross roll. Threes must be turned between the partners feet.

In turning the three the tracing hip is turned towards the partner and is practically in line with the tracing foot.

The unemployed hip is pressed back so that the instep of the free foot, with the toe turned downward and outwards, is in line with and, for the turn, slightly behind the tracing foot (not by the side). Rotate the unemployed shoulder in the direction of the turn, then on the third beat, with a stretching of the knee, the weight evenly on the skate, and the turning to forward of the unemployed hip, the tracing hip is allowed to turn in line with the shoulders.

As the turn is made the shoulders and hips must be checked to avoid a natural tendency to revolve too far.

Three turns to be clean (not pulled), and turned between the partner's feet. After the turn the free foot should be placed on the floor (not dropped), close to and slightly behind the back inside tracing foot.

The partners skate this dance in closed or waltz position and the man should remain directly facing his partner on all edges.

The rotation of the partners around each other is continuous throughout each lobe and reverses its direction at the beginning of every new lobe.

49

Attention points:

- Steps 1 & 4 must be outside edges - Steps 2 & 5 must be good cross rolls - All three turns must be turned between the partners feet and on the third beat. - The three turn around the ends of the floor and centre should always be on good edges

following the radius of the floor at the ends and not hooked in the centres.

FLIRTATION WALTZ Originated by: Frieda Peterson

Music: Waltz 3/4 Tempo: 120 Beats Hold: Kilian , Tandem, Rev.Kilian Pattern: Set Closed

Notes:The dance begins in the Kilian position with step No 1, a LFO 3 beat aimed toward the barrier.

Step nos. 4 and 5 are skated in Tandem position.

Step nos. 6, 7, 8 and 9 are skated in Reverse Kilian Position. Step 9 is a LFOI 6 beat change of edge, the change of edge occurs on count 4 of the music as the free foot passes alongside (back to forward swing) of the left and continues travel to the extended forward position.

During Step 16, man and lady swing their free legs in unison, man from back to forward, lady from forward to backward. On the extreme end of this 6 beat edge, the man raises the lady's right hand with his left hand, holding it above her head in preparation for step 17.

Step 17, the lady executes a 5 step turn while the man strokes a RFO 6 beat edge. The man's right hand and lady's left hand are free until the lady's 5th step when Waltz position and hold is again resumed. The lady should exercise extreme caution during this step 5 turn, so that the first three steps, LBO, RFO and LFI are aimed towards the centre of the rink.

During step 18, the man swings his right free leg from back to forward in unison with the lady's left leg swing from forward to backward.

Step 19, the man strokes a RFOI 6 beat edge, while the lady strokes 19a and 19b, a LBO 3 beat edge to a RFI 3 beat edge, a closed Choctaw.

As the lady strokes step 19b, the man changes from outside to an inside edge, both partners immediately swinging their left free legs forward. On the extreme end of the lady's step no 19a, a LBO 3 beat edge, the man releases the lady's right hand and she places her right hand on her right hip near the waist.

As the lady turns forward to stroke step 19b, a RFI 3 beat edge, partners resume Kilian position.

During the back to forward turn for the lady, the man's and lady's hands are momentarily free.

55

Attention points:

- Steps 1,6,16 & 18 no changes of edge as free leg drops. - Good execution of Open Mohawks – aimed at the instep on

Steps 4,11,17 & 23, - The rhythm and “lilt” of the Waltz must be emphasised. - Pay attention to timing of step 17 for the lady.

FLIRTATION WALTZ

WESTMINSTER WALTZ Originated by: Eric Van Weyden & Eva Keats

Music: Waltz 3/4 Tempo: 138 Beats Hold: Kilian, Rev.Kilian, Waltz, Foxtrot Pattern: Set

Notes: The beginning of the dance is skated in Kilian position using the thumb pivot grip for the hands to facilitate the changing of sides by the partners. The lady's hands are held above the man's with the thumbs extending downwards into the man's fists. Upright stance without breaking at the waist is important. The only free leg swings occur on the six beat (or more) edges. Step 2 is a run. There is a change of edge at the end of step 3 so that step 4 RFI may be directed outwards in contrast to the direction of steps 1, 2 and 3. Steps 5 and 6 are an open mohawk; at the start the man is on the lady's left side during the turn both rotate individually and afterwards he is on her right. On step 10, a crossed roll, the lady momentarily releases her hold on the man while she turns her three in front of him, after which the partners join in closed position which almost immediately changes to open position for steps 11 and 12 which are crossed chasses skated on a curve. Step 13 for the lady is an inside forward swing rocker held for six beats before the turn and three beats afterwards. Step 13 for the man is an outside forward swing counter held similarly for six beats before the turn and three beats afterwards. Step 14 (RBI for the man and LBO for the Lady) must be taken from the side of the preceding foot. On step 15 the man follows the lady's tracing as she turns an inside three on beat 4 of this six beat edge. Step 16 is started very slightly crossed in front for Man and behind for the Lady. Step 17 is a run with very moderate progressive movement of the feet and afterwards both partners step to the side (about 18 inches) for the start of step 18. The man does a LFO edge (step 19), and the lady does a RBO edge. Step 20 is a cross roll followed by RFO three for the man and LBO for the lady. On step 21 the man skates a six beat LBO not too deep. The lady releasing her left hand turns a three on beat three heading for his left shoulder. She removes her right hand from his left and in its place immediately gives him her left. She steps on to her LBO on beat 4 and extends her right arm across to her partners right (reversed kilian position). Starting step 22 with the lady on the man's left she skates across in front of him to his right side in position to repeat the dance. Care must be taken in swinging the free legs on this edge so as not to interfere with the lady's crossing in front of the man.

58

Attention Points:

- Steps 1 & 2 – timing must be LFO 2 beats, RFI 1 beat - The change of edge on step 3 is very quick and must be done. - Steps 5 & 6 Open Mohawk – Important- During the sequence of steps 11-15 in Foxtrot position teams must

stay very close, especially during step 13, Rocker for the Lady, Counter for the Man.

- Step 15 for the lady – three turn must be turned on the 4th beat. - The sequence of steps from 16-18 must be skated with fluidity. - The movement between step 17 & 18 must be wide and clear. - The whole dance should have a lilting Waltz action.

STARLIGHT WALTZ Originated by: Courtney Jones & Peri Horne

Music: Waltz 3/4 Tempo: 168 Beats Hold: Waltz, Foxtrot, Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes: The dance opens in Waltz hold with three chasses, the man skating a left forward outside chasse first. After the third chasse, both partners skate a change of edge for six beats (step 9). Both skaters may interpret the movement of the free leg during the first three beats as they so desire. Then both partners swing for six beats (step 10). Continuing in Waltz hold, the man skates 3 three turns, the lady 2 three turns, steps 11-15 inclusive, being the three turns, freedom of movement and interpretation is left to the skaters providing the steps are skated in a waltz hold. After the man's final three turn (step 15) he skates a RBO-LBI run whilst the lady skates a left forward outside to right back outside mohawk. Both partners then skate a right back outside for six beats (step 17) with a double lift (a second lift) of the free leg on the fourth beat. Partners skate a left forward inside edge (step 18) in Foxtrot hold. The man skates a right forward inside edge for three beats whilst the lady moves back into waltz hold with a mohawk (steps 19A and 19B). The lady's movement continues into a RBO swing (step 20). She then turns into Foxtrot hold whilst she skates another mohawk turning backwards into a swing (step 23). The man matches with a right forward outside swing (step 23). This chasse/mohawk is reversed once more until the partners coincide on step 26 (LFO man, RBO lady). During this step the man releases the lady's right hand and places his left across his back, lowering it to hip height or lower as the change takes place, the lady clasping this hand with her right. The man drops his right hand to allow him to turn the LFO three behind the lady. During steps 26-28 the man may bring the right arm forward or place it by his side. On step 30 LFO the partners change to Kilian hold which is maintained until step 32A when the lady turns an open three, with a backward lift of the free leg in time to the music, into Waltz hold to restart the dance.

Attention points:

- Steps 3,6, & 8 must be outside edges after chasses.- The change of edge on step 9 must be clear and the swing made

with fluidity. - The dance has a very quick tempo, pay attention to the timing. - The double lift of the free leg on step 17 must be clear. - The inside edges of steps 18 & 19 must be clear. - During steps 20 – 26 pay attention to the lady’s Mohawk.

VIENNESE WALTZ Originated by: Eric van Weyden & Eva Keats

Music: Waltz 3/4 Tempo: 138 Beats Hold: Waltz, Tango, Pattern: Set Reverse Tango, Foxtrot

Notes: The forward steps 2 and 17 are runs. On steps 5 and 20 a smooth change of edge is taken with the free foot passing as close to the skating foot as possible. The partner positions on steps 1, 2, 3 and 16, 17, 18 may be directly opposite each other (true closed position) or slightly to one side (partial tango position). However by the end of steps 4 and 19 the partners should be in partial tango position (partner to the right) and during the change of edge on steps 5 and 20 should change to the opposite sides of each other.

On step 8, care should be taken that this step is directed properly and on a true edge. The lady should be careful to aim at the man and trail him on this step. On the last beat of step 8 there should be a slight change-of-edge.

Many men experience difficulty on step 9 (LFI), but if there is a proper change of lean at the end of step 8 and if the man skates ahead on step 9, while the lady follows and parallels his tracing on her step 9 (RFO) little trouble will be encountered at this point, during step 9, the partners are momentarily in Foxtrot position with the shoulders parallel to the tracing.

After the mohawk (steps 10 and 11), the lady's LBI (step 12) is placed at the side and slightly back of the right foot. The right foot is then held forward on the LBI.

On step 13, the partners change from Waltz position to partial Tango position (right hips together) for a proper take-off for the cross roll on step 14.

The timing of steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 16, 17, 18, 19 is unusual and, since it adds a pleasant and distinctive touch to the dance, must be closely adhered to.

Note that steps 1, 2 and 16, 17 are one beat steps, followed by three beat steps 3 and 18.

Care should be taken to follow this timing, which is a departure from the typical 1-2-3, 1-2-3 Waltz

Attention points:

- Pay attention to the timing of steps 1,2 & 3, and 16,17 & 18 the runs. - Pay attention to the changes of edge on steps 5 & 20 and the change of

sides. - The inside edge of the man on step 9 must be strong. - Pay attention to the timing during the sequences of steps 9 – 11. - Step 10 for the lady is an Open Mohawk. - Step 24 is an outside edge with no change.

CITY BLUES Originated by: Robert LaBriola

Music: Blues 4/4 Tempo: 88 Beats Hold: Kilian Pattern: Set Dance Notes: - Every step must take the floor in the “parallel and” position, except for step 10. - Step 1,2,3 and 7,8,9 and 11,12,13 are series of progressive runs. - Step 9 is a two-beat LFO Swing, with the swing being executed on the second beat of the step. - Step 10 is a crossed progressive step. The take-off must be crossed-foot crossed-tracing, close and parallel. - Step 5 and 14 are dropped chasse steps (Cut Step). A dropped chasse is accomplished by:

1) placing the free skate in the “parallel and” position 2) changing feet 3) then extending the free leg to a leading position in the air

- Step 6 is a RFO-Swing. The free leg must be swung forward on the third beat of the step. The baseline of this dance only applies to the centre lobe edges. Step 6 begins at the top of the centre lobe. Step 13 begins at the top of the continuous barrier lobe. Attention points:

- Pay attention to the execution of step 9, it’s a progressive step with a swing of two beats. - Step 10 is a cross forward executed very closed - Cut-Step (Dropped Chasse), steps 5 and 15, must be made with an accurate inside edge - The free legs should move in harmony with one another during the swing.

THE BLUES Originated by: Robert Dench & Lesley Turner

Music: Blues 4/4 Tempo: 88 Beats Hold: Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango Pattern: Set

Notes: The man begins the dance with a RFO crossroll, while step 1 for the Lady (LBO) is crossed behind Step 2 for the Lady is also crossed forward Step 2 for the Man is not crossed, being a run

The man's three turn (step 4) should be taken without added speed. During this two beat three turn the lady skates two backward edges (steps 4A and 4B) each one beat, and the second of which commences crossed. On turning the three the man releases the lady and they take up foxtrot position which is maintained until step 16A.

Step 5 Is a strong four beat RBO for both partners after which they turn to LFO held for two beats (step 6). It is to be noted that this edge commences on the third beat.

Step 7 Is a cross roll skated with good curves. Step 8,9 10 and 11 have an unusual time sequence which should be carefully noted and followed.

Steps 9 and 11 are runs.

Step 12 and 13 constitute a closed choctaw and the curvature of these edges should be of equal degree Avoid swinging of the free leg before the choctaw. The choctaw is turned as neatly as possible with the new skating foot taking the surface directly under the centre of gravity of the body.

Step 14 Is a back cross roll by both partners LBO four beats.

Steps 15, 16 and 17 form one lobe with three steps for the lady and four (steps 16A and 16B) for the man.

During the lady's three turn (step 16) the man skates a RFI chasse and the partners take up Waltz position.

The dance repeats after step 17 which is a two beat LFO for the man and a two beat RBO for the lady.

76

Attention points:

- Steps 3,6 & 7 must have good outside edges. - Step 11, run must have good inside edge but not crossed. - Attention to execution of the Chocktaw, step 12 – no change of edge. - Step 15 should be a strong inside edge stepped close and from the

side of the skating foot.

SWING FOXTROT Originated by: Hans Jurgen Schamberger

Music: Foxtrot 4/4 Tempo: 104 Beats Hold: Foxtrot Pattern: Set

Notes:

It is danced throughout in Foxtrot position.

The dance starts at the end of the rink, with runs followed by two 2 beat cross rolls steps 4 and 5.

The cross rolls should be skated at a distance from the barrier to allow for the Cross Roll Swing (step 6) to be skated on a good outside edge towards the barrier.

This is followed by a run ( step 7 and 8), followed by a two beat edge on step 9.

Step 10 is a Cross Roll Swing, followed by run steps 11, 12 and 13.

Steps 14 and 15 are good two beat inside edges struck from the inside of the employed foot, followed by step 16 which is a RFO four beat outside edge to end the dance.

On small rinks steps 11 to 14 are to be skated with deep edges and a small radius, in order to keep the pattern in the correct position.

Attention should be paid to steps 6 and 10, the Cross Roll Swing, where the free leg is swung through with a good stretched leg.

Attention points:

- The cross rolls, steps 4,5,6 & 10 must be done with good edges and inclination of the body.

- Steps 6,10 & 15 FO swings with no changes of edge. - Steps 1,2 & 3 – 7,8 & 9 – 11,12 & 13 – runs – be careful of timing.

KEATS FOXTROT Originated by: Eric Van Weyden & Eva Keats

Music: Foxtrot 4/4 Tempo: 96 Beats Hold: Foxtrot, Outside, Waltz Pattern: Set

Notes: This dance is designed to be skated on deep edges and semi circular lobes.

In open position the partners should skate with their shoulders and hips close together.

In the sequence of steps 1, 2 and 3, step 2 is a cross chasse for both partners.

On step 4 the lady accents beat 3 with a knee bend corresponding to the man's on his step 4B.

Steps 4A and 9 for the man and steps 4 and 9 for the lady are started with cross rolls.

Step 5 is a front cross roll for the lady but not for the man, and partners should be directly opposite at this point.

Step 7 is a run for both partners.

At the end of step 8 the man should be towards the side of the lady for his cross RFO three turn (almost tango position) and waltz position is resumed by step 10.

The man's step 11B is a run. The man's steps 11A and 11B take place whilst the lady skates a two beat LFO into her closed mohawk. On the LFO the lady does not swing her free leg, but, after extending it behind, brings it up to her skating heel (keeping it well turned out) to place on the floor on beat 1 in the prescribed position for a closed mohawk.

On a rink 40 x 20 metres or larger, the border pattern for this dance must be used. For a rink smaller than 40 x 20 metres the other pattern can be used. However, please remember that the whole skating surface must be used and the border pattern should be used wherever possible.

Attention points:

- Correct execution of step 2 (cross chasse). - Step 3 LFO is struck at the side. - Make sure step 4b and 10 are good outside edges. - Steps 6,7 & 8 must be progressive steps. - Pay attention to the Mohawk of the lady (step 11). - Steps 13 and 14 must have good inside edges.

ROCKER FOXTROT Originated by: Eric Van Weyden & Eva Keats

Music: Foxtrot 4/4 Tempo: 104 Beats Hold: Foxtrot & Waltz Pattern: Set

Notes: The Rocker Foxtrot is a set pattern dance starting at the midline of the rink near one end and making three lobes to the barrier and two to the centre along the one side of the rink and repeating as the skaters cross the long axis at the other end.

One circuit of the rink requires two sequences of the dance.

Steps 1 to 4 are the same for the lady as for the man and consist of a cross chasse (step 2) followed by a run on step 4 skated in open position.

Step 5 for the lady is a four beat LFO rocker skated while the man skates a two beat LFO followed by a two beat RFO. The rocker is executed with a swing of the free leg. The free leg must first move back and then swing forward on the second count or it may just quietly move forward. The rocker is turned after the free foot has passed the skating foot and is extended forward and the timing of the turn should be on beat 2, but should be such that the sinking on to a softly bent knee afterwards will coincide exactly with the man's knee bend for his (5b) RFO edge taken on beat 3. After the rocker, the lady's free leg may either be held behind (leading) as in a free style rocker, or may be swung forward (trailing) to match the man's free leg.

At the rocker turn the initial open (Foxtrot) position changes to closed (Waltz) position which is maintained until step 7b when the couple resumes open position for the remainder of the dance. The man does not cross roll for step 6 (LFO Three) and should be in position exactly opposite his partner at the beginning of this edge.

Steps 11 and 12 are outside mohawks for both partners and are turned without free leg swings. The free legs are first extended backwards and then drawn beside the heels of the skating feet well turned out and arriving exactly in time for the mohawks. At this point caution should be taken for the man not to curve his LFO (step 11) too strongly and for the lady to curve hers at least equally to the man's so that she will be in a position beside the man and not even slightly in front of him which might lead to a bad fall. Shoulders need to be well rotated to get into proper partner positions.

After the mohawk the partners do not check but continue in slow clockwise rotation through steps 12 and 13 so as to be travelling forward on step 14 and be ready for the repeat of the dance.

It is noted that both partners commence step 13 (LBI) crossed in front.

92

Attention points:- Good execution of step 2, cross chasse. - Step 5 for the lady, the Rocker, must have good strong edges. - Step 5 & 6 for the man must have strong outside edges. - Step 11 must have a good outside edge. - Good execution of the Mohawk (steps 11 & 12) with no change of edge.

ITALIAN FOXTROT Originated by: Odoardo Castellari

Music: Foxtrot 4/4 Tempo: 96 Beats Hold: Waltz, Tandem, Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes:

All Steps, not otherwise described are RUNS

Tandem position Steps 15,16 and 17, for tandem position is intended one partner just behind the other.

Steps 1,2 The lady is slightly in front on the right of the man. Steps 3 – 4 Waltz position.

Step 5 This steps begins with the partners "in front", then the lady goes on the left of the man, the free leg swings forward, the skating foot changes the edge with the second beat.

Step 10 This step is a feature of the dance, it is a vivacious step with quick movements of the free leg. Beat 1 the free foot goes near the tracing foot. Beat 2 the partners push the free foot outside, while the tracing foot changes the edge, then the free foot comes back near the tracing foot to prepare for the next step.

Step 14 The lady makes the three in front of the man.

Steps 15,16,17 Steps very sprung with knees bent, the foot which is free is pushed slightly forward.

Step 29 The lady guided by the man, goes forward and then to his left, the step ends with the lady behind the shoulder of the man.

Steps 30A,30B After the forward step, the couple during the three turn of the lady, must go away for a short time, before assuming the waltz position.

Step 31 Waltz position. To make this step we advise to lean the free foot (Right for the man and Left for the lady) in closed position but slightly behind (as regards the direction of the step) the tracing foot. So it is possible to make the push of the foot easier (forward for the man and backward for the lady), which will be free. The step ends with a short change of edge to prepare for the first step of the dance.

Attention points: - Page 5 must be a change of edge. - Step 7 must be Open Mohawk. - The change of edge and quick outside movement of the free leg on

step 10 must be clear. - Pay attention to the timing and outside edge of step 13. - Steps 15,16 & 17 are outside edges in Tandem position.

CANASTA TANGOOriginated by: James Francis

Music: Tango 4/4 Tempo: 100 Beats Hold: Reverse Kilian Pattern: Set

Notes:All steps in this dance are progressive except No's 4,7,10 and 14.

The Dance begins on step 1, a LFO 1 beat edge on count 1 of a measure. This is the first step of an 8 beat barrier lobe.

Step 4 is a raised chasse executed on count 4.

Step 5, LFO and 8, RFO are 4 beat swings.

Steps 7, LFI of the centre and step 10, RFI of the straightaway, are cut steps (dropped chasse - the foot is placed alongside the skating foot with the free leg being placed immediately forward on the inside edge). The free leg then returns to the side of the skating foot to allow a smooth transition for steps 8 and 11.

Steps 9 to 13 must be skated with very strong edges in order that step 14 RFO XF-Swing roll, may be aimed to the centre for a 4 beat inverted corner lobe. The push for the RFO-XF Swing roll is made from the outside of the left foot.

Neat close footwork, tango expression and good carriage should be maintained throughout the dance.

Attention points:

- Steps 1,2, & 3 must be progressive steps. - Step 4 chasses – foot must be raised parallel with the floor and put

down at the side. - The edges of steps 5 & 8 must be good outside edges. - Pay attention to the correct execution of the Cut-Step. - The outside edges of steps 13 & 14 must be strong.

HARRIS TANGO Originated by: Paul Krechow & Trudy Harris

Music: Tango 4/4 Tempo: 100 Beats Hold: Tango, Reverse Tango, Pattern: Set Foxtrot, Waltz

Notes:

The opening steps must be in Tango position with the lady on the right of the man. The man skates a front cross RFO (step 1) as well as a crossed LFI Chasse (step 2), each of one beat, whilst the lady skates a back crossed LBO as well as a crossed RBI chasse. These quick steps are followed by more deliberate four beat edges, RFO for the man and LBO for the lady (step 3), at the end of which the partners change sides. The next lobe consists of the same sequences by each partner (steps 4, 5 and 6), but on the opposite feet.

The third lobe starts with a front crossed two beat RFO shallow Rocker turn for the man (step 7) followed by a crossed behind LBO (step 8) as well as a RBI crossed chasse (step 9), each of one beat. During steps 7, 8 and 9 the Tango position must be maintained. The lady skates a two beat back crossed LBO edge (step 7) followed by a RFO (step 8), as well as a crossed LFI chasse (step 9) each of one beat. Both partners then skate a deliberate four beat edge (step 10), the man LBO and the lady RFO with the lady on the right of the man.

This is followed by a crossed step as well as a crossed chasse, each of one beat, as well as a deliberate four beat edge (step 13). Step 14 for the lady begins as a RFO Cross roll three turn of two beats in the direction of the midline of the rink, whilst the man skates a two beat LBO shallow cross roll (step 14). He then turns forward to skate a four beat RFO edge (step 15) corresponding to the lady's LBO (step 15).

The crossover and cross chasse steps of the preceding shallow lobes should be skated on light curves, while the long, deep edges carry the dancers down the side of the rink. Depending on the length of the rink and distance to be covered the crossover and cross chasse steps may be angled somewhat from a line perpendicular to the barrier, but the couple must never retrogress during these steps.

During the deliberate four beat edges (steps 3, 6, 10 and 13), the free leg must be held extended at the commencement of the edge, and must not be moved until or after the third beat in preparation for the partner to change sides.

The following steps are skated in foxtrot hold and consist of two shallow one beat steps 16 and 17, followed by two two beat steps 18 and 19, on a curve. Followed by a closed swing mohawk each edge held for four beats of music.

112

On step 22 the lady skates a RFI three turn after one beat of the music and holds the RBO for five beats. During the execution of the ladies three turn the man skates two one beat edges forming a chasse (steps 22A and 22B) followed by a four beat LFO edge (step 22C).

Attention points:

- Steps 3,6,10 & 12 must be struck at the side – NOT progressive. - Step 7 of the man must have a shallow rocker not three turn. - Step 15 must have good outside edges. - Step 19 must NOT be crossed. - The steps 20 and 21 should follow the pattern and come back to the barrier

with inside edges for the man and outside for the lady with no changes of edge.

- Strong Tango character is required.

HARRIS TANGO

115

ARGENTINE TANGO Originated by: Reginald Wilkie & Daphne Wallis

Music: Tango 4/4 Tempo: 96 Beats Hold: Foxtrot, Waltz, Kilian, Tango Pattern: Set

Notes: The dance begins with the partners in Foxtrot position for the first ten steps, changing to Waltz position at the man's counter turn (step 10) until step 16. The initial runs (steps 2 and 6) of the dance across the ends of the rink, broken by the chasse (step 4), end with a deep LFO edge (step 7) which brings the partners facing down the length of the rink.

Then the partners skate a short RFO edge crossed in front (step 8), which is followed by a long change of edge (LFIO) started crossed behind (step 9) and held for three beats. The change of edge is effected as the free foot swings back past the skating foot to be in position to start step 10 crossed behind. The man turns a RFI counter while the lady executes a change of edge (RFIO) (step 10) dropping in behind the man in closed position. The change to closed position is accomplished by the lady directing her stroke somewhat behind the man before he turns his counter.

Step 11 for both partners is held for approximately two beats and ends with them travelling towards the barrier. At the very close of the step the lady momentarily steps down RFI before starting her LFO (step 12) as the man skates RBO (step 12), both strongly curved to head them back to the centre of the rink.

During the next lobe (steps 13, 14 and 15) which is started towards the centre of the rink the couple revolve around each other, the lady turning a three on the first stroke and the man on the second with all edges well curved and the couple ending up travelling towards the barrier.

While the man skates a two beat RBO (step 16) the lady skates a forward chasse (step 16b), and then the man turning forward into Kilian position both skate a sequence LFO, RFI and LFO (steps 17, 18 and 19), step 18 being a run.

Steps 17 to 23 are the same for both partners. After pausing on the LFO (step 19) for two beats both partners skate strongly cross rolled four beat RFO edges (step 20) which carry them across the end of the rink. Two steps of one beat each, LFO and RFI (Steps 21 and 22) - the latter a run - end with a long four beat LFO edge which takes them around the corner of the rink. During this edge the lady must skate hip to hip with the man (Kilian position) her tracing following along his and the shoulders strongly rotated. This long edge is terminated with a swing choctaw for the man and a twizzle for the lady. These right turns are executed immediately after the fourth beat and just before the next accentuated beat (beat 1). The lady's twizzle (a counterwise turn followed by a three turn) starts similarly to the man's choctaw but entails a complete revolution on her part rather than the half

116

revolution of the man. The weight (of the lady) is on the left foot during the revolution but the right foot is kept close beside it and on the completion of the turn takes the full weight for the next RFO (step 24) of the four beats as the man skates LBO (step 24). Because of the man's choctaw the partners change from Kilian position to Waltz position, which is maintained for three steps only 24, 25 and 26.

During the next lobe (steps 25 and 26) the man skates a fairly deep RBO (step 25) of two beats while the lady turns a LFO Three, begun as a cross roll, around her partner. Because of this the lady is on the right of the man and the couple take up tango position, which is maintained from steps 27 to 31, the end of the dance sequence.

This is followed by a series of five cross rolls (steps 27 to 31), the man crossed in front, the lady behind, headed down the length of the rink, and during which the lady remains on her partner's right.

The first roll (step 27) is maintained for two beats; the following three rolls (steps 28 to 30) for one beat, and the fifth (step 31) is held for three beats, with a slight change-of-edge at the end.

The partners should skate the cross rolls lightly on well curved edges making a pronounced serpentine of the sequence.

Immediately before the end of step 31, after the change-of-edge, the lady momentarily steps down RFI which turns her forward in order to be able to strike off LFO on the first step of the repeat of the dance.

Attention points:

- Good execution of Chasses, steps 4 & 16b. - Step 10 must be a good Counter for the man. - Steps 8 to 11 must be made with good edges, paying

attention to the edges of steps 11 & 15 of the man.- Step 23 – Twizzle for the lady must be a counter followed by a

three turn – do not change LFO edge as you turn. - Steps 27,28,29 & 30 must be good cross rolls not flats. - The Argentine Tango has its own character and is not as Staccato as the

Harris Tango.

After the opening steps (1,2 &3) the partners are then in a reversed Foxtrot position

The man's right, and lady's left, shoulder leading. The extended arms are following.

Step 4 is a closed choctaw, i.e. with the resultant free leg following.

Step 5 Waltz position.

Step 8 The change of edge Three turn (six beats) is counted 3-4-1-2-3-4. The man moves to the left so that the lady is on the right for the change edge. The change of edge must be on count 1 and the turn on count 3, not before.

Step 9 is skated with the lady on the man's left side. The free legs swing in unison and a quick change of edge has to be made at the end to permit the next step slightly towards the barrier.

Step 13 The free leg should be in front for the second beat and the tracing knee should be well bent before and after the turn. The edges are only deep enough to permit the next step being aimed slightly towards the centre of the rink.

Step 14 Lady strikes an RFO edge of four beats, swinging her free leg forward on the third to coincide with the raising of the man's free leg on step 14B. Her free leg is then brought to the heel in preparation for the next step, a closed Choctaw.

Steps 15 & 16 commence with free legs following and again swing in unison.

Attention points:

- Pay attention to step 3, good edge without a change. - Steps 4 & 5 good edges with no change. - Step 8 change of edge on count 1 and the turn on count 3 (not before). - The change of edge of step 9 is very short but must be evident.- Step 13, bracket for the man and three turn for the lady, must be made on

the correct beat and with fluidity. - Pay attention to the final sequences of steps 14 to 18. These should have

good edges and swings, in time and with fluidity. - This should be skated with the “stillness” of Tango although being “crisp”

at the same time.

On the second beat of step 5, when the lady executes a rocker turn, the couple assumes a Partial Outside position with the man slightly to the lady's left . The team remains in this position through Step 6a-6b (for a total of 4 beats), two beats where, while the man approaches the left free foot in an "End" position (with feet close) extending then the free leg behind(2 beats), the woman executes a RBI (2 beats) and LBO edge (2 beats) that finishes in an "End" position extending the free leg forward. During Step 7, the man's left arm and the lady's right arm are raised over the lady's head, allowing the lady to skate a RFO-rocker. turned on the second beat; while the man skates a LFO cross-rollthree. The team skates Step 7b in Tandem Position executing a swing on beat 3 of the step. Step 8 is an open Choctaw and is skated in Kilian position. Steps 9 and 10 are called "Tango Walks" executed in a Shade - position: the man keeps the right hand on the woman's left shoulder and skates slightly to her left. The couple skate a RFI on step 11. During this step the man crosses the lady's pattern passing behind her and assuming a Tandem position. Steps 12a LBI (open mohawk - heel to heel) and 12b LFO-3 are in Kilian position. Stepl2c of 2 beats, is skated in a Partial outside position. The man executes a very fast open mohawk (heel to heel) followed by a LFO, while the woman skates a Three turn on the first beat of the step l 2c changing edge from a LFO to a LBI. Steps 12c ,12d, and 13a are skated in Partial -outside position. Passimy from step 13a to 13b, the woman executes a RBO- mohawk-LFO during which the man's left hand holds the lady's right hand above her head to allow the execution of her open Mohawk. During step 13b the man. on a LFO edge. joins the feet in an "end" position. Step 14 is performed in Kilian position and is a RFI-XF. Step 15 is a LFI-swing of 4 beats in Kilian position for both skaters. At the end of it, the woman, performs a twizzle on an inside edge turning clockwise direction on the left foot. During the twizzle the man's left hand moves over the lady's head to prepare the twizzle. The couple finish in a Kilian position with arm crossed ready for Step 18 .

123

The crossed Kilian position is maintained up to the step 18 at the end of which the man performs a RFO-twizzle turned counterclockwise. During the man's twizzle the skaters' right hands release, left hands keep joined over the man's head. On step 19 the team assumes the Kilian position. Step 20 starts as a RFI cross back on the first beat, the edge changes to outside on the second beat and back to the inside edge for beats 3 and 4. The couple are in Kilian position. Step 21 LFO, is a step of two beats. During this step the team is in a Foxtrot position until step 25. Step 25 LFO prepares step 26: "Waltz step". This step is executed by the lady stepping a "slight/soft' RBO edge, turnip` clockwise and moving to the man's left side. During this step the partners' left hands join over the lady's head: their right hands are crossed and join below the waist. During Step 27: LFO Sk~in< ~Rocker_ the free leg swings forward on the second beat and the turn is executed on beat 3. During steps 27 and 28a the right hands of the partners are joined. In the step 28a the team skates a RBO-cross roll on the first beat. During the second beat of step 28a, the lady executes a three (RBO-three to RFI) to the man's right side, finishing in Tango position while the man remains on the right leg and both bend forward knees of their free legs. Step 28b for the man is a LBO(the movement his free leg is free) and for the woman is a change edge to RFO with her free leg backward for two beats. Step 29 is a cross roll for both on the first beat, then the woman skates a three on the second beat(from LFO to LBI) while the man prepares an Open Mohawk in Tango position. The "Ballroom-steps" are executed by the partners stepping " slightly- around one another. On the last Ballroom step, Step 34, the man finishes in Tango(Outside Position), to the lady's right side. They remain in Tango Position until step 35b. After this step, the team assumes a Kilian position durina the execution of step 36 RFO. In steps 37a and 37b the man flows forward with a cross-roll-three passing under the lady's left hand. She skates a cross roll - chasse during which the skaters are in Hand in hand position (left hands) while the right hands are free. The Hand in hand position is maintained up to step 38b. Step 39 is skated in a Partial outside position with the woman slightly on the man's left. Then the man skates an open Mohawk to restart the dance and the lady executes a progressive run.

124

Attention points:

- Step 5: Rocker for the lady and in the same time change of edge of the Man - Step 7: the difficult it’s in the execution of the Rocker for the lady and the three for the man during un change of position with the hand hold made with only one hand - Steps 11-12a-12b: Opened Mohawk followed from an left inside three; all these difficulties are made in Kilian Position - Step 15: Swing + inside Twizzle for the lady - Step 18: Swing + outside Twizzle for the man - Step 20: double change of edge for both partners performed in Kilian Position - Step 27: Swing + Rocker for both parteners Steps 31-32-33-34: Ballroom – contemporary rotations of the skaters that they move alternatively from forward to backward on outside edges with lightness and synchronize
