Waltzing it Up

Gary and I have been moving along with our cross step waltz which we both really love. It is a beautiful dance, and much more delicate than the ballroom variety, if a dance can be delicate.

But sometimes we've found we need to whirl around quickly like the ballroomers do. This need became apparent to get out of the way of said whirlers, but we quickly realized that we also do, in fact, like the ballroom variety of the waltz when we do it our way, e.g. no reverse poise and no mathematical positioning ...that happens naturally believe it or not. So...we now like it.

But could it mix in with our cross step? Why yes it can. We've found it isn't hard to come in and out of each, as long as the follower knows when that is. Gary signals me by squeezing on my right palm. Works perfect.

So now our waltz can be delicate AND whirly. :-)
