"Anonymous. First the path has been cleared at the end of step one by the lady, The lady invites the man through."
That would be step 2 if we were still talking about a feather finish.
They key is that the lady clears a path in shape only - her body stays directly in the man's way, but her body shape permits him a path to move forward. If she is so inflexible that she has to take her entire body out of the way, the hold will be hopelessly ruined.
"The man should have a feeling of going past the lady simular to a Lockstep."
The man may have a feeling of stretching past the lady, but he must not actually GO past the lady or the hold will be ruined. An outside partner step in CBMP requires that the backwards partners hips stay IN FRONT OF the forwards partners hips. Because the movement is diagonally across the hips, there is enough room to bring the leg through a small distance.
If body flight is mainatianed, that small movement of the leg relative to the body can become a large movement of the foot on the floor, because the substantial body flight adds to the small leg swing.
"Any arguements on whether to turn in anywhere but at the end of step one Double Reverse please look at your charts page 134. This has nothing to do with CBM."
I assure you the double reverse spin has CBM...
"Today we dance in our own space. Step four of a Natural Spin Turn for the man we clear a path for the lady which allows her to take her step four down the LOD whilst the man's step is more diagnal to the wall."
A common but deadly mistake... Step four needs to toe in and shape to accomodate movement, but it must not step out of the way. Try having someone jump out of the way like that on on step 1 of a natural and you will feel for yourself how unkind this is to your partner's continuity of movement. You don't let her dance into a full action, but end up forcing her to slingshot. Perhaps you spin turn itself is weak enough that this is the only way you can get around??
As it was explained to me. If we both step down the LOD at the same time are we not in each others way."
Not if you rotate the body while you step down LOD. That is called CBM, and it should have been lessons one...
"In slow motion look at the first second step of the Feather by the lady. If you can, take a line where the navel is pointing at the beginning of the step and after step one."
There is rotation which accomodates the partner's movement, yes. But there is no change in the path of the body. You must learn to stop confusing orientation and trajectory.
"I doubt whether there is any step where we are supposed to turn into it at the beginning of the step."
You need for private lessons is reaching emergency level!
