Hi OK,

RE: ---They (judges) would be very quick if they could pick it. If you look good, why not do it that way.---

You might be right about the - 1/4, I have to think about that.

The judges would not care as long as it looks good, as you say, to substitute that timing.

I think the accent on 1 looks good, although not on all measures. That makes CC a sleek, dynamic dance, not just a fast Rumba with short-cuts.

I also agree about your comment on CC in Social Dance. I was talking about competitive Latin. The main rule of Social Dance is don't step on your partners foot and smile apologetically if you do.
