"In this clip, we're going to talk about the leaders and how we use our body to create the softness of the waltz. As the leader, I'm going to start with my left foot going forward and I'm going to slightly bend my legs. So I'm going to step forward, slightly bent, I'm going to go up, up and settle myself. I'm going to repeat this, starting with the left, being a leader, slow, quick, quick. I'm going to go back now. Down, up, up. So it's heel down, up, up, toe down, up, up, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. I'm going to show you the leader's part from another angle. We start with the left leg, one, two, three, going back, two, three, heel, toe, toe, toe, heel, heel, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, back, two, three."
