Dear DanceFad,
Revewing Marcus's VCD and re-reading your posts I cought your point now. I should focus on man's action and response dependently. Maybe , I will do better reverse turn on 1 following feather step in foxtrot tonight. I ignored my role before : I just devided my legs as I could ...

Great thanks ! Don. Your experienced advice regarding closer center weight to front foot( standing leg )and bend knee toward parner allowing tip toe sliding , then ball--> heel when center weight achieved the new standing foot is too right .
Yes, I try more practice as you mentioned every evening to dance better.

Yichen1. A couple of years ago I read an article in a British dance magazine written by one of our experts. In it she pointed out that Victor Silvester introduce the first three of a Natural Turn in about 1924. Before that they used to do some kind of Rotary Turn. Anyway she said that even after all those years it is still argued among the experts how it should be done. It is the rise and fall that causes the debate. So if it feels good and looks good the way you are doing it then stay with it. Bear in mind that Marcus Hilton and John Wood never looked exactly the same.
