Did you actually read the whole thread? Or are you just SocialDancer?

Dronak answered it almost immediately, very well.

fallaway clarified.

SocialDancer then added on...

and Jonathon fined-tuned it.


Yeah there's been some addition information especially about CBM, since people sometimes confuse the two. But the answer came right away.

If we, as dancers, are told to face LOD and take a step forward LF in CBMP, then that foot will be in line with the RF and we will have CBMP. (I would suggest that we would need to use slight CBM as well)

If we ask a beginner/non-dancer to step forward LF but to place the LF in line with the RF then we _may_ get CBMP, but I think it more likely that we will get a left side lead. That is why I was unhappy with Dronak's suggestion that



It was the "naturally" brings the opposite side forward I had problems with. Natural for a dancer familiar with the feel of CBMP but not necessarily for a beginner.
