can anyone help me with a step called the progressive link step? our tutor is away on a long holiday and we're not sure of the footwork.
It's international slow waltz
Man's step: Left forward on 1 on LOD
bring right to left on 2, rise and sway to right.
sway to left at end of 2/start of 3 and 'fall-out' (not literally!!) onto left foot on 3 diagonal to centre.
It's an attractive step.
My query:
On the "bring right to left on 2" - should the right be brought against left or separated by about 6 - 9 inches? It seems to be danceable either way.
A small point perhaps, but important to me!

I am sure you end the figure in PP. There are 2 ways:

- If you make no turn:
Commence facing LOD, the 1st step taken down LOD, making no turn, then you will end in PP facing LOD commencing to move DC.
It'd better to close RF to LF on 2, hover, then LF side & slightly forward on 3 in PP

- If you make 1/8-1/4 turn to L:
Commence facing DW, the 1st step taken DW, 2nd step to SIDE turing 1/8 to L between 12, hover and 3rd step in PP.
It'd better to make the 2nd step a side step on the ball because you are making a turn, but try a SMALL side step.

Best regards,

If this is the step I'm picturing in my head but didn't know the name of before, I would say bring your feet together...they usually are for a hover, which this sounds like.
