"You said that neither Marcus or his partners feet are together at the end of step two. Her feet are side by side about two inches apart. His feet are together on are on the toes."

Your mistake is not knowing when "the end of step two" occurs.

If you had bothered to look it up you would learn that the end of this step is defined to occur when the feet are but halfway closed, therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE for the feet to be closed at the end of this step!

You might also note that on the video, Karen places step 3 before Marcus's feet finish closing.

It's also worth noting that Alex Moore's presentation of the double reverse spin breaks from his usual numbering scheme. Instead of numbering steps, he actually numbers the beats in this unique case - the effect is that the step numbers in his counting are 1, 2, &, 3, wheras in the more usual presentations they are 1, 2, 3, 4. When we are speaking of step 2, we are speaking of the actions that occur before that step ends and the next step begins (which Moore numbers "&" and the ISTD, etc number as 3). Polished seems to be mistakenly trying to include the actions of the step numbered & or 3 as part of step two, but they aren't - they are given as a unique entry. Look at the presentation of the Lady's part to see this more clearly.
