" Hi! This is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. My website is lesliesack.com and we are doing the foxtrot. This is a man's left turn, man's part, so guys get your right arm up, nice and steady. You are going to be going rocking forward on your left foot, forward, back, turn a little on the side, so it goes slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow. So I call this a left rock turn, so you are forward on your left, slow, just have to hold your frame really strong. She is just going to assume that you are going to do walk, walk, so you got to keep her from doing the second walk. So just hold your arms really steady and she will feel your body weight change. So left rock turn. There's some bending both my knees a little bit. Brush my foot in, as I brush it in that is what is going to make it smooth; make a smooth transition rather than this. That's bad. You want to bring it in. Just think Fred and Ginger; I always think of this as the Fred and Ginger dance. Keep it really smooth and bend your knees a little bit and quick, quick. So that's the man's left rock turn. "
