G'day from Australia. I found myself automatically doing a stutter step a few years
back when I discovered the joys of embellishments. In thinking about when it happens, it
is usually when I am about to go into an "extra-curricular" move. I don't
think I'm changing feet, I think I am just putting in a small quick step to put me
where I need to be when I need to be there. However, here in the office, I am having
trouble recalling exactly the situation, so I'll try to pay attention next time I
dance and write a fuller reply.
Cheers

Hmmm... I thought she was, but I can't find her
subscription.
Based from what I know of Donna (she's a great dancer
and lots of fun)
and what I see and hear in the video: she's reflecting
what she hears in
the music in her step. A little stutter step on the phrase,
especially
when the music is "telling" you to do it can be a
lot of fun. It places
a physical emphasis on the first beat of the phrase that
reflects the
musical emphasis. It's pretty much a style thing,
rather than a
technique is my guess.
It's really fun as a caller to watch how people dance
differently based
on the style of the music.

...starting just after the music gets fast, there
is
an inactive women coming
up the line with reddish hair and and a knee
brace who
does a sort of stutter
step before she does some of the moves... If
anyone
knows why she does so or
even who she is so I can ask her the advantage of
that
it would be most
appreciated :)
best wishes ...
Richie Katz
