" Hi! This is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com. My website is lesliesack.com. Again today's foxtrot and this is a ladies part for a promenade walk. Ladies, you are going to start with your right foot and the guys are going to turn you just a little bit, and you are going to walk off slow, slow, quick, quick, turn to you, slow, slow, quick, quick, so that's a promenade walk. So you are just going to feel him turn you and he is going to go ahead and go like that, like he is going to the doorway first; you just let him. Slow as he's your prince; let him take care of you. He turns to you as slow, slow, so you both are going to be looking in the same direction; towards your thumbs. Okay. Now the ladies can also be doing an under arm turn on the slow, slow and it looks like this. We do a regular promenade walk first, and then he is going to raise his arm up and you are going to trun slow, slow, quick, quick, so one more—slow, slow, quick, quick. So you are doing little half-turns, just step on your right food half-turn, left foot, face your partner. Look where you are going, and you are going to pick your left hand up. He's going to lead you slow, slow, quick, quick. So that's a promenade walk with a ladies under arm turn. So we're going to put three together, one without the turn and then two with the turn. So it's slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick quick. Just keep your heads up on the turn so you don't get dizzy. "
