Lovely video and beautiful dancing from you both as always! Already looking forward to your next video :)

[@jtballroom]

Thank you so much!

So cool to watch! Thank you! I also only just realised it's possible to slow videos down to quarter speed... and hitting pause to see the intense stretches and foot placements required at certain points ... though it all looks effortless watching you both quickstep in real time Eg at 0.22 ... I never realised quite HOW much power and active extension is required from the lady for a running spin turn to get around. Really interesting to see how the left foot is already placed right around, pointing inwards, to anticipate and facilitate the body getting where is required next. I'll have to pay more attention to that!

Great to hear you’re studying the video Louisa 😊 We definitely appreciate a good slo mo dance video ourselves! Gives you an opportunity to really see and absorb more of what is being done! We’ll have to get cracking on another video 😘

I actually do the pendulums when I do my exercises, although not as perfect as yours.. Loved this video,.. As always brilliant to watch and a little treat for me.. 10/10.. From me.. Take care my lovelies 🤗😘

[@jtballroom]

Haha you may have a hidden quickstep routine amongst your different workouts Christina! 😂 In any case thanks for watching and letting us know that you enjoyed the video as always 🙂😊

Do you have a video about the rocket in quickstep, i found there are so many differences, Mirko and alessia dance diffferently from Maucu and Karen in their demo videos. Not sure what is the standard one, can you share or explain? Many thanks.

[@jtballroom]

Thanks for asking! We will certainly try to make a video on this topic for you and other dancers 🙂

The figure names you give are different from those given in the gray book. Does Australia use different figure names? A partial list of standard figure names for your routine is this: - Natural Spin Turn - Progressive Chasse - Quick Open Reverse - Progressive Chasse - ? (not Cross Chasse) - Running Right Turn (= Natural Pivot Turn + 1-3 Foxtrot Natural Turn + Running Finish, timing altered on Natural Turn) - ... - Forward Lock Use of standard figure names makes your videos more useful as text searches can more easily allow someone to find videos containing figures they are interested in.

@@crayman2658 Yes, that's a Running Cross Chasse, not a Cross Chasse, misnamed in all their videos.
