Whicheve anonymous this is, he(or she) has something right - torgue is a force, not an alignment. It is possible to have torque without rotation, and rotation without torque (the Earth does it all the time).
Can we restrict ourselves to alignment of shoulders and hips. Of course, a human has to apply a turning force (or torque) to rotate shoulders or hips or both. Let's not talk about torque as these turning forces are complex because the human body is not a rigid object.

Phil. Lets not talk about torque. Add to that list imbalance( unless you talking Latin ). Then also catching the weight which is the sister of imbalance.

"Add to that list imbalance( unless you talking Latin ). Then also catching the weight which is the sister of imbalance."

If you want to ignore the key element of motion in the standard dancers, go right ahead and dance latin to your waltz and foxtrot music then.

Standard is propelled by imbalance.

As have most of the steps you took since you first learned to walk.

But you are too stuck in your treasured misconceptions to admit this basic physical reality.

Anonymous. Tell me where in the book is it written that we get to a position of imbalance. All I can see is words like step forward RF diagnal to the wall. I see CBMP and CBM. I see Sway and so on. One expression now used is Swing that's not in the book so it doesn't exist.

"Anonymous. Tell me where in the book is it written that we get to a position of imbalance."

Tell me where it is written that you shouldn't.

Because this action is part of the ordinary human's ordinary non-dance walking, it does not need to be explicitly specified.

Either go look at some research on human locomotion, or just take my word for it that you are wrong... your profound and obstinate ignorance is getting rather tiring.

"One expression now used is Swing that's not in the book so it doesn't exist."

I seem to recall someone was quoting a mention of swing out of the book the other day...

Anonymous. One expression now used is swing, Please see Richard Gleave Dance Vision 4. " On a Natural Turn the words used are turn swing sway. At this point most people only turn so the movement becomes small and unintesting". This is, in case you don't know, why we compress on the count of one ( and ). There are two driving steps one is off the supporting leg and the other at the end of the turn after step one.
