"If you are one of those who beleives that the timing in the Foxtrot is 2341."
I do not. The timing in foxtrot (I assume we are talking about the footfalls here) cannot be represented by round numbers, instead it requires fractions that are rather messy.
For example:
1.8, 3, 4.5
"Then the whole beat of one is used to come into a neutral position.."
Not exactly, though there's something a bit like that going on. It's not so much to come into the neutral as to finish the end of the quick
"Thats a big pause right there."
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!
The motion of the body must continue throughout the ENTIRE FEATHER STEP.
Yes, at some points it is slower, though this is not even one of them. It is slower when it is up, and faster when it is down.
"Shoulders keep moving though."
Not only shoulders, but body too.
"I suppose some of you scientist could work out at 28 bars per minute how long a pause there is right there."
Your desire to pause explains a lot about why are you arguing for the wrong timing!
