VARIATIONS FOR RITA'S WALTZ:
|
WALTZ
BALANCE FORWARD, BACK, FORWARD, BACK |
Partners
will be in R Side By Side position for the balances. Lady on R side
of man with R hands joined above her R shoulder, L hands joined in
front of his chest. |
L SPIRAL, R SPIRAL, L SPIRAL, R SPIRAL WITH 3/4 TURN R |
PARTNER
VARIATION 1: THE BASIC OUTSIDE TURN: During the Spirals, the man
should be slightly behind the lady so both can comfortably turn from
side to side. The man will not do the 3/4 turn but instead will do
a forward waltz stepping R, L, R toward new wall. She will do the
3/4 turn under the R joined hands on counts 5-6, releasing the L hands
and rejoining them on count 1 in front to start again. |
PARTNER VARIATION 2: ARM SWEEPS TO BASIC OUTSIDE TURN: The first
spiral is normal, as you step across into the second spiral, bring
the R hands over her head and down to chest level, on the 3rd spiral,
bring both hands over her head, on the 4th spiral, bring both hands
over her head and end with the basic outside turn as before. |
PARTNER VARIATION 3: CROSS BODY TO HAIRBRUSHES: On the 4th spiral,
bring the L hands over her head on the turn and down to chest level.
As you step forward for the first balance, bring the L hands behind
his head and release. As you step back on that balance, bring the
R hands behind her head and stay at the shoulder, rejoining the L
hands in front of his chest. |
PARTNER VARIATION 4: TANDEM TURN: On the 4th spiral, she will
do her basic outside turn, he will do the same turn as she does, bringing
the R hands over his head after the go over hers. Then, as you step
forward into the first balance, bring the R hands behind her head
to shoulder level and rejoin the L hands in front of her chest. |
Note: The man (leader) can choose which of the variations to do and
when by leading them. Her footwork is the same for each one, so she
should maintain a relaxed but toned condition of her arms to be able
to follow the different arm movements he leads. You can also begin
to combine the different variations if you'd like, for example, arm
sweeps followed by the tandem turn. Enjoy!! best replica watches
