When registering for competitions, I always see "no continuity footwork at _____ level." I'm not familiar with the phrase, but maybe I know it as something else. Can someone explain what is meant by "continuity footwork" to me?
Thank you much.

In W and FT.. not passing the feet for more than 2 Slows or Quicks consecutively..( deemed Silver level in the U.S. )

From the Slow Foxtrot "Learn the Dances" section of this site:-
"Continuity. Continuity is defined as the continuous passing of the feet from step to step, without any closing or chasse actions. Typically, a series of three or more passing steps constitute a continuity action. Continuity movements are introduced in the Silver level of Foxtrot, and are almost entirely absent in the Bronze level. In fact, in American style dance competitions, continuity is expressly prohibited in the Bronze level."

It is a silver level technique, and I have heard it referred to as "brush steps" on occasion. Not sure if that is the best and most accurate way to describe it, but it does help you visualize a little bit what you are actually doing when you go into continuity steps, or when it becomes a little more complex, we call it "continuity styling." Look at it as your very first encounter, or baby steps, into the stratosphere in which Fred Astaire and all great ballroom dancers ply their trade.
