Doug. I take it that Yitchin is refering to a walk as in the Foxrtot. I would suggest that anybody who is serious about their dancing should go to the examples, which can be printed, on this web- site. The only trouble with straight line walking, either back or forewards is that CBM and CBMP are ommited. Without them it is not possible to get the true feeling of dancing. Although what I call straight line is still worth practicing. But without CBMP on the second quick of a Feather Step, man or lady. you will not do a good Reverse Turn. It will be difficult to get the third step under the body as a step and not just a prop, or if you like to put it, catch the weight. It is a step followed by another step. Happy Foxtroting
