can you be any more wrong than this???

the three stept is sqq and heel, heel-toe, toe-heel...

Obviously you are not a teacher b/c then you would know that the technique as listed in the ISTD manual is correctly shown here. But as teachers we also know that the last step of the 3-step becomes the 1st step of the next figure such as natural turn. Therefore to lessen confusion for students, we would count the 3-step from the last step of the feather step as LRL-SQQ as you stated. If you don't understand this, check with your teacher or any technique book. Andy Wong, Grand Ballroom

Sorry, but you are the one who is wrong. As stated in the ISTD manual the rythm is QQS and the footwork heel-toe, toe-heel, heel.

@BlackEmoDuck No, the 3 step is QQS, heel toe, toe heel, heel...period

@BlackEmoDuck How embarrassing for you to show that you don't know what you are talking about. Get the knowledge before talking old son.

Thanks, but as I say, this seems to be a general problem when it comes to the SF. My class has been struggling with it for weeks and the efforts of the teacher to enable us to pick up on the beat have been to little avail. When she herself counts us in, we are fine. However, when she leaves it to us to sense when to step off, 90%of us are all at sea. Like the majority, I think I will eventually just have to settle for stepping off whenever I can and hoping that the beat somehow finds me.

Yeah, well for 1, he didn't pick a good moment in the music to demonstrate the SQQ timing so I see what you mean. What he does at 2:06 isn't SQQ anyway. He is dancing SSQQ. He danced what they call a Continuity Magic step at Arthur Murray dance studios. Then, he dances SQQ right after that. Listen to the song "Your The Boss" by Brian Seltzer Orchestra or "Fever" the Ray Charles version. Those two I know have a good SQQ beat. Try taking lessons at an Arthur Murray. They have great instructors.
