"Hello I am Sarolta Eke. Hello I'm Tamas Kassai, we are here on behalf of Expert Village. We are going to show you how to dance Waltz. I will show you the lady step for underarm turn. It looks like this 1-2-3-2-2-3. Once more, it's 1-2-3-2-2-3. So the steps are left foot back, left foot to side, close left foot to right foot, right foot forward, left foot to side, close right foot to left foot. It is a bit more difficult than the figures before because the lady has to turn half turn with all 3 steps. 3 steps should take half turn. So if the first 3 steps is 1-2-3, 1-2-3. I have turned half and then the next half would be 2-2-3. So the foot work, toe heel, up on your toes, toe heel, heel toe, toe, toe heel. The rise and fall is as usual, you go down, continue to rise on 2 and 3 and lower at end of 3. Then, commence to rise at end of 1, continue to rise on 2 and 3, then lower at end of 3. 1-2-3-2-2-3 and once more 1-2-3-2-2-3 and once more 1-2-3-2-2-3. You should take care when step the second step, 1-2 your feet are turned out completely and then you can close left foot to right foot. You should take care that when you step the second step you should turn out your feet completely and then you can close your left foot to your right foot."
