Thank you! Very helpful seeing the detail of the step. This reinforces and complements my "in person" lessons. I hadn't really understood why it's a "Double" spin...hopefully I can now get a better rotation with this lovely step
When you dance together, you make step on beat 2 to the side with turn about 1/4. When you show man steps separately you make second step forward with no turn. I'm interested - why?
@@DanceSpiritClubThank for you answer. When you dance together you turn 1/4 even in the end of FIRST step (or between first and second)! You comment add more confusion to me :) Did you see youself (together and separately) in this video in slow speed (50% or even 25%)?
Sorry for the confusion. The answer was for the V. Waltz Video. Here's the answer for Double Reverse Spin: second step for man has to go forward. However, we do create strong CBM and doing spin on right foot on count 3. That's why in dynamic it looks like step forward and side step are done in the same time.
This video is by far the best lesson presentation of the performance of the Double Reverse Spin that I have ever seen. Years ago, I had a private lesson from two different professional and qualified dance teachers for the double reverse spin and neither's lessons can hold a candle to Konstantin's. His use of the lady's "spin"-commencing on second beat - and the man's "spin" - commencing on the third beat - and the relationship between these two "spins" illuminated the whole instruction for me. I hold a Diploma in Teaching from the Griffiths University in Queensland, Australia. I have been social ballroom dancing for over thirty-seven years having done medals in the early days. So I feel qualified in some small way to heap this praise upon Konstantin for his teaching strategy throughout this lesson. His focus on the two "spins' was crucial to the efficacy of this whole lesson. If not a "spin" what would you suggest calling this movement? What name would you give to this figure? A Double Reverse Turn perhaps? Not anywhere near an appropriate title in my opinion! But I guess you are entitled to your opinion as I am in having mine.@@richardkan8499
@@tezzwk You're better qualified than me on the matter as I've negligible dance qualification (not my chosen profession). The etymology of dance figure names is a goldmine of words which should be studied. I still believe the Double Reverse Spin is mis-named. The Man starts with a Reverse Turn that's designed to lead Lady into her Heel Turn. Man then does more of a Toe Pivot action on 3 (OK this could be a Spin). The Lady does a Heel Turn followed by 123 of her Viennese Reverse Turn. So these amount to Reverse Turn, Toe Pivot/Spin; Heel Turn, Viennese Reverse Turn. How would I rename it? I would not. I accept, and like, the name as-is, despite it not making sense, but it doesn't have to make sense.

You are totally awesome! Love being able to see the foot work, floor position at each count, and the head and body action in detail.
Thank you very much for your kind words! Glad to hear that you find our video helpful 🙏

Thank you!
It's a funny name - there's no double, nor is there a spin. Gin and tonic anyone?
🤣
Are you a ballroom dancer?
Yes I'm a senior amateur competition ballroom dancer in the UK
