This guy is phenomenal at what he teaches. If you can keep up, he's a fountain of knowledge.

Fantastic info about follower's body facing sides of slot on turn. Also, I love the fluidity of the "workaround anchor", which is something notoby ever taught me before.

[@DAmicoDanceHouston]

Thanks! Yes, Workaround Anchors are needed on patterns that turn right and they create a styling opportunity for the ladies. Thanks for noticing.

What is the definition of a drop triple as I've never heard of it before thanks in advance

[@DAmicoDanceHouston]

Hello, and thank you for watching and commenting. A drop triple is a term that I used to describe dropping back, bracing yourself on the ball of the three, then replacing on and, with or without rotation on a passing pattern and then stepping on the four.
It is the only step on basic six and eight account patterns where the heel should not strike the ground due to the foot being out from under the body. The purpose of the drop is to brace you and send you forward onto the end, not to go backwards. Let me know if you need further explanation. Thanks again!

[@bdtrinh]

Thanks for asking this question! I was wondering the same thing too.

I have family and friends in San Antonio. I hope to figure out a way to squeeze in a trip to Houston when I visit them later this year =)
