"Anymouse, That is my observasion and the way I like to dance the "drift'' but does that not mean with the body anyway you are dancing not SQQ,but QQS?"

Maybe it would be better to think about the slows and quicks the way we think about letters in a language such as English.

What sound does a "C" make? Well, it depends on the context. How long is a "quick" well, likewise it depends on the context. There's no single answer, it depends on what the combination of symbols is spelling.

So for example,

center, canter, attach - same "c" different roles.

SQQ, QQQQ, SQ&Q - same "Q", different jobs - even differet jobs for the various "Q"'s in each "word"

Beginning readers "sound out" each letter individual. Those fluent in a language let entire word roll off their tongue, with each letter acting as a part of the whole rather than an isolated challenge to enunciation that disrupts the flow. But of course they can only do that after lots of practice to build reliable skills for the details. So it is with speaking, and so it is with dancing.
