Anonymous. The Whisk is finished with an 1/8th of a turn. It's over its gone never to return. The next step is forward RF in CBMP with no turn.
Are you so dense that you cannot see that if we are going into a Reverse Weave it couldn't be done from a normal Whisk position. You'd look like Daffy Duck. If it were a Progressive Chasse diag to the centre there would be no need to alter the line of the feet. But being that it is a Weave there has to be an adjustment to the feet on the Whisk to be able to do it without looking like Charley Chaplin.There should be...I put should be because you are obviously under the opinion that there is a turn on a step which is in CBMP. That is wrong. Hold on , maybe in the US you have your own rules. Is that how it is.

"Anonymous. The Whisk is finished with an 1/8th of a turn. It's over its gone never to return. The next step is forward RF in CBMP with no turn."

False, for the sixth time I will quote you from the ISTD technique book (which exactly matches the diagram in Ballrom Dancing) the stated amount of turn on th e FIRST STEP of the weave:

"1/8 between preceding step and 1"

"Are you so dense that you cannot see that if we are going into a Reverse Weave it couldn't be done from a normal Whisk position."

The subject is the weave from PROMENADE, not the "reverse" weave.

Now I'll repeate my earlier question: how long are you going to continue denying that the ink in the book says what it does - which has now been quoted for you SIX TIMES?

Anonymous. The Weave is a Reverse Weave which turns to the left anti clock after the Whisk. The 1/8 of a turn to get the feet to a position where the Weave can be performed correctly is on the Whisk. Not on the first step of the Weave which has no turn and is in CBMP.
In fact tell me of any basic step where there is turn during step one..The turn is always at the end of te step. Even on the first step of a Curving Feather. Lets hear no more of your rubbish. Just give me the page number for me to check .
You do realise that you have added another 1/8 of a turn to the Reverse Weave which already has 3/8 and a 1/4 in that order. Can anything be clearer than that.

"Anonymous. The Weave is a Reverse Weave which turns to the left anti clock after the Whisk."

The techniques books, and most dancers, call that the "weave from promenade".

"The 1/8 of a turn to get the feet to a position where the Weave can be performed correctly is on the Whisk. Not on the first step of the Weave which has no turn and is in CBMP."

And that is where you are wrong. For the SEVENTH time, the book says (in the weave from promenade, not the whisk):

"1/8 between preceding step and 1"

It it critically important to realize that this is a turn of the RIGHT foot only. The left foot does not turn.

And as for CBMP placement, I'd like to see anyone manage to place the step after a weave anywhere other than across in CBMP. It would be quite difficult to put it anywhere else as your partner is blocking most of your other choices.

The existence of turn does not alter the location where the right foot is placed, only it's orientation, which is now squarely to center in contrast to the DC alignment of the left foot.

But even if the turn did alter the foot placement, turn to the left would tend to putting it even more across in CBMP, not less.

"In fact tell me of any basic step where there is turn during step one.."

The weave from promenade taken after a whisk, as I have literally quoted it to you SEVEN times now.

So... the question still stands: how long are you going to continue denying that the ink in the book says what it in fact does??

Anonymous. I thought everybody new that in the Waltz their is no Natural Weave only a Running Weave.
page 160. It is a beautiful figure with great rhythmic feelimg and is not difficult to learn. When danced in the Waltz it can be taken after an Open Impetus Turn or a Whisk. In this description it is asumed the man has danced a Whisk
Amount of Turn. Make 3/8 of a turn to the left between 2 and 4. And a 1/4 to the left between 5 and 6. Do you see any turn mentioned on step one. You can read and understand what you are reading. Can you.

"In this description it is asumed the man has danced a Whisk

All you have done is repeate your question of August 28:

Polished: "Anonymous. Show me where on a Weave following a Whisk it is written that on step one there is an 1/8 of a turn."

Which had the following answer on August 28, consisting of quotes from answers already provided to you on previous days:

Answer of August 27:

"Look at the diagram and you will clearly see it. In Ballroom Dancing the text description does not break down the turn per step for this figure; in other volumes such as the ISTD book it is broken down and that same 1/8 turn seen in the diagram in Ballroom Dancing is explicitly stated in the text."

August 26: "To quote the ISTD book, it says under amounts of turn "1/8 between preceding step and 1""

August 26: "There is in fact 1/8 turn into step one for the man when the weave from promenade follows a whisk. That's the change you will see in your footprint diagram from DC at the end of the whisk to the first step of the weave being placed aligned squarely to the center."

So that's now EIGHT times that I've quoted the passage from the ISTD book to you, and comparable number of times that I've called your attention the exact same information shown in the footprint diagram of Ballroom Dancing. My question continues to be HOW LONG WILL YOU CONTINUE TO DENY THAT THE INK ON THE PAGE SAYS WHAT IT IN FACT DOES????

Maybe we can put this one to bed now. and (I hope) this will be my last comment on the matter.

Polished: "Anonymous. Show me where on a Weave following a Whisk it is written that on step one there is an 1/8 of a turn."

Anymouse: "To quote the ISTD book, it says under amounts of turn "1/8 between preceding step and 1"

Guy Howard says the same in the IDTA technique manual where he shows two different versions of weave from PP with different alignments and amounts of turn depending on the precede being a whisk as discussed here, or an open impetus where the weave uses the foxtrot alignment and turn.

However my final word is to compare editions 9 & 10 of Alex Moore.

9th ed. "Make 3/8 turn to L between 2 & 4"

10th ed. "Make 1/2 a turn to L over 1 to 4"

You decide where the extra 1/8 goes.

It's between the preceding figure & step one.
