Sort of an oversight. We danced it with a prep instead. For the supplemental shoot, I might go back and do a Feather with the following step (step 4) and no prep. I'm still on the fence about whether to use it to replace the current version, or show both versions, one being labeled "Feather Step" and the other "Feather Step (shown with prep action)", to demonstrate how one might begin the dance.

It also might be a nice idea to show the 6 or 7 different types of Feather as described in the ISTD book (eg Feather Step, Feather Step starting O.P., Feather Finish, etc).

The other idea I had was on the Three Step: Instead of showing two different versions the way we do now (the "book" version RLR and the "common practice" version LRL), it would be less confusing *and* more consistent with the other figures to dance it as 4 steps: SQQS. That way one clip would fill both roles, while eliminating the confusion. Some people would see it as a QQS, with a prep step beforehand. Others would see it as SQQ, with the an extra "slow" afterwards, being the first step of the following pattern (much like the other figures). But however the viewer sees it, we've satisfied both types while eliminating the confusion. This, I think, is a better solution than what we have now.

Also, I hate the Impetus. I might go back and re-shoot that just for the sake of showing a better quality of dancing. But we'll have to see what time allows for.
