Swedish Folk Minuet #1 - Intro, basic step pattern

This is the Part 1 of a teaching session on the Swedish Folk Minuet, with music kindly provided by Steve Turner and Helena Torpy. It includes some introductory exercises and an explanation of the basic stepping pattern which you need to get the hang of. The next video, Swedish Folk Minuet #2, will cover Figure 1 of the dance.

That's excellent! :) I really like your analytical approach of not only the steps, but also how to approach the balance here. That's wonderful I used to be in a Scandinavian folkdance group. We had a key person of Swedish heritage, that was very much into learning and cataloguing hundreds of dances. You are more structured and disciplined though. I will start learning and practising this on my own now :) Thank you
