Dancing Dave. Since I first started this one I have been looking and checking. A New York Rumba or Cha is a Checked Forward Walk.On a Forward Walk we have no swivell, in fact you would not look right if you did. So the step comes first , the turnout of the rear foot comes after. Exactly like a walk down the floor. To do it correctly will give you a much bigger New York and would be taken if we had alignaments, diag to wall against the LOD. for the lady. The man diag to center against the LOD.This would be from facing the wall for the man. Doing it this way in the Rumba will give you an opportunity to really work on it because of the slower tempo. And your recovery will be far bigger. For the doubtfull ones among us. A Spot Turn is a Forward Walk Turning I don't think any of us would swivell there, would we??
