[@carolelongstaff8381]

I'm very much enjoying and following your instruction... You gave a link for the beautiful waltz music in one of your videos but now I cannot find it. Could you possibly link again please? Thank you so much...

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thank you Carole for appreciating our dance videos! There are many Waltz music playlists on KZbin. I do not remember which I gave. Sorry :)

[@Marialeecha]

Amazing as always!

[@KJ-um1gq]

I have a dance instructor for who told me that it’s not possible to do pivot turns socially, and that they’re only done during choreographies. Is this true?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Thanks for interesting question. Social dancers and social dancing styles differ. I think that one pivot or natural spin turn is possible for social dancing if both dancers know these movements.

Hello Eglis, i enjoy watching your waltz figures. Do you have a similar series for American Smooth, Bronze through Gold?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Hello Sharron, thanks for appreciating our waltz videos. We don’t have American smooth videos. Except one called Social Foxtrot for Beginners kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGPWaqdmetBsbJI

How do you keep the balance when you do the continuous pivot turns? I guess we’ll just have to do it ...practice practice practice.

[@EgilsSmagris]

You start with balance in small amount of Turn and then gradually turn more until 1/2 Turn per weight transfer or step

[@brunozilli6718]

Grazie maestro!

[@peterbeyer5755]

SenPin TravMom To keep your balance, keep your body inline, keep your knees bent even more than normal almost in a squatting position, don’t do any rising during the pivots- you can add rise when you have balance, keep your left side very strong as strong as you make it, make sure you spot with your head, practice against a wall use it for balance, practice by your self and as slowly as you can and speed up as your balance improves. Have a look at “brocketteambrocket”. For more technique.

What is the difference between natural pivot turn and natural spin turn?

[@EgilsSmagris]

Natural Pivot Turn consists of first four steps on Natural Spin Turn. There is small difference in Lady's footwork in fourth step: in Natural Pivot Turn - HTH (Heel Toe Heel); in Natural Spin Turn - HT (Heel Toe).

[@leox2704]

Can someone explain what pivot is? Im just interested in this kind of stuff

[@EgilsSmagris]

Pivot is turning on ball of one foot, at same time keeping other foot in CBMP (forward or backward).

[@leox2704]

Egils Smagris thank you!

[@6411bello]

To pivot is to spin on one axis like a top.
