Dancing a feather step from a previous figure,where would the weight be on the first two beats of the bar of music?

During that time it will progress through the entire length of the foot, from heel to toe for the man and toe to heel for the lady.

Annonymous. I was under the impression that the first beat would start at the end of the (LF) and would continue into the second beat through the (RF), but are you saying that slow(two beats) all take place on the (RF) Thanks.

no

Annonymous. So I am correct to say it happens from heal to toe on the standing leg(LF) for the first step of the slow foxtrot feather step ?

no

cdroge.Do you really need somebody to tell how to do a simple thing like one step onto the next. Just do it, all slows , all heel leads down the floor. If you are able to flex the standing knee as the moving leg passes under the body which will allow you to surge onto the next step you aren't far wrong. Remembering that a step is just a step in any form of dancing. The dancing occurs on the part where the moving leg coming from behind arrives under the body. Question that has to be asked is what are you doing before the Feather Step.Is it down the LOD followed by a Three Step which has a TH. Then another Feather. If you do it yourself you can tell us. As far as i'm concerned the weight on a TH. must be over that foot. Just as a bit of added interest. In a recent IDSF comp ( the worlds best amatuers ) In the solo Foxtrot one of them started with a Feather down LOD then a Three Step followed by another Feather and Three Step into a Natural movement. The comentator said how refreshing it was to watch.

A Feather along LOD followed by a Three Step is the "Slowfox Basic" for all my dance school pupils since years. Next figure is: {Curved Feather - Back Feather - Feather Finish - Three Step}
These standard things as {Feather - Rev. Turn - Three Step - Closed Impetus - ...} are done in higher levels.

Anxious. Since its that simple I can assume then that you can dance a father step as good as the HIltons or perhaps even better. I know how to dance a feather step by moving my body to the music ,but how many people can dance it right on time,but then your defenition as right on time might be different than mine. There is a big difference between being able to just dance a feather step and to dance it with quality and feeling, The key to a quality feather step is in the slow not in the quicks. The quality of my feather step is good but not superior to most,so it all depends on what you want to acheive. As was previosly stated .We are only exactly on time in the feather step on Three. If you lower with the weight over that foot you will not be able to dance a THT >

cdroge. The feeling you mention is on the movement in between the slow and the quick, that's when you are dancing. A step is just a step.Then you dance. The footwork on the Feather is of course TH. The reason it is TH. and not THT. is to stop anyone taking it literally and popping up in the air. After the toe lower that step is history there will be no mention of a THT. Not in my book anyway. Obviously the above, or is it below, has not been read properly. The test is to stop on the third step on two toes. Check were your weight is then tell me.
