lock technique - slightly rightwards

Another technical question.

RE the back lock part of the V6 - why is there not the "slightly rightwards" component that is used for all other back locks ?

I would appreciate your comments for my better understanding.

Hi Interested,
If you are still searching for an answer to your query, may I suggest that you write some form of an answer, and I'm sure that you will get a response from some of the members. Give it a try.

Well - there is some relevant information in Alex Brown's hand book, though I don't feel that it is explained particularly well. There it was framed in terms of whether the man was "turning up to" the lady or vice - versa, and the consequent effects for the required "track".

If you think in terms of the V6 being a back lock & running finish, that happens to have the running finish turning to the L rather than the R, the 'track' issue falls nicely into place.

The V.Six in the International Style Quickstep takes the shape of a V. It starts either from a Spin Turn or after 1 2 3 of a Natural. Which finishes Backing Diagonal, as does the Spin Turn. ( Right Shoulder Leading ) They both come out facing Diagonal to the Wall for the Lockstep. Buy a Technique Book its all in the book.

The correct subnote is "Outward"
since "naturally" the tendency is
to lean inward when doing Locks.
