Dave. To give the lady a better understanding of the lowering and not dropping out of a DRS. I always say to the lady liken it to, one of those fairground things where you sit on a mat and slide around from the top to the bottom on a mat. Think of going from the bottom up. Using the rise and fall. Rise slightly at the end of 1 NFR. Continue to rise on 2. up on 3 and 4. lower at the end of 4. Footwork TH. HT. T. T. TH. Beats 1. 1/2 .1/12 . 1. Acccelerate on beat 2 ( heel turn ). Alternate timing can be 1.2.3. and, or 1 beat. 1 beat. half a beat.half beat. When the DRS is to end diag to wall. The lady should be backing towards wall on the 3rd step. The fourth step must be firm and controlled with the balance well over it. Who said the lady does not have to know their own steps. It's all in the book.
