+ | Teaching points:\\ | ||
+ | The A parts leisurely which contrasts with the quicker turns of the B part,\\ | ||
+ | At the end of the B part there is a poise point before the siding in the C part. | ||
+ | For camera lens siding (C2 bars 1-4), you dance the same individual path as Sharp siding except | ||
+ | that you face on the diagonal in your duple minor foursome, curving in with R-shoulder leading | ||
+ | so all have R-shoulder together in the center and curving out to the sidelines with L-shoulder | ||
+ | leading. See diagram on page 57.\\ | ||
