Hi Richie, That's Donna Hunt. Donna, are you on this list? - Adina --------- Adina Gordon 828.230.9266 http://www.adinagordon.com/ --- On Wed, 7/30/08, callers-request(a)sharedweight.net <callers-request(a)sharedweight.net> wrote: From: "Richie K." <mightylumpy3(a)juno.com> Subject: [Callers] Thanks for a dance name, author and other data... oh and one more question besides... :) ... http://contrausa.com/user/fri2%20ron%20b4%20with%20quote.wmv ...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 ...

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.
