Telemark. Who told you that two people both Swing at the same time. That is the question.


Guy Howard. That is the answer.

Telemark. Why not look at the video on this site Natural Turn Waltz. Would you say that the ladies left heel is still flat on the floor as the man has swung past and is on his two toes. If you want more of the same go to Luca Waltz Demo. You will see exactly the same action by the lady. The Luca images . I have found a way of moving them so that no part gets lost. You might not be able to do this. But on this site it is possible without any hastles. So again . Go and look and you will see the man instigates the Swing past and the person on the inside follows. I mean lets be sensible about this. Todays dancers the lady is well over to the man's right side. With the lady on the inside of the movement and having less disrance to go how could she possibly go at the same time unless she mistakenly alters her position. Which was exactly what a friend of mine was doing, and on her first lesson in the UK, was told as the feet came together she was a couple of inches out and no longer in the position with which she started. You don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to work that one out for yourself. So let us do the first three your way. Let the lady swing away and stop. Has your original setup disapeared at the end of the third beat. Or are you as you were when you started three beats ago.

"Telemark. Why not look at the video on this site Natural Turn Waltz."

You really need to take a second look at that video yourself, polished, as it clearly shows both dancers swinging at the SAME time, neither one pausing at any point to wait for the other.

"Would you say that the ladies left heel is still flat on the floor as the man has swung past and is on his two toes."

Yes, there has never been any dispute about that, but it is simply not relevant to the timing of her BODY's swing.

What is relevant is that the video shows that there is no point at which the swing of her body pauses to wait for the man. Instead it is continuous - she is swinging at the same time he is, she is just making a smaller, slower movement.

Is there anybody else, apart from my friend, who has been told to Swing when on the inside of a turn.


There is CBM for lady as well as man on 1 of DRS, so yes, swing for both.
