Footwork On2

[BugBear]

Had my first Partnerwork/Footwork On2 classes last weekend. It wasn't as difficult as I expexted, but it will be a long time before I can dance On2.
I couldn't get one thing though. Why is the basic step when doing Footwork On2 different from the one when you dance with a partner?

?? It's the same as far as I know?

Unless you're all doing the Lady's Step?

If you mean shines when you say "footwork", then the it's an ET2 convention to teach shines in the follower's timing rather than the leader's.

I took one class with Guererro from Santo Rico and one with Angel Ortis(this one I liked better). And in both classes with started off with a followers' basic step...

lol, misuse (or at least different use) of the word tt, just let it go... :wink:

He means shines, solo, open work apart from the partner.

Shines on2 favor the ladies' basic. Shines on1 favor the mens' basic.

When you're dancing on2 with a partner you can either switch up your footwork and do the shines the way your follower does or adjust it so that you start yours as you go forward.
