The Hover Telemark. Alex Moore page 193

you might buy a copy and try reading it before you rule out the possibility that it could teach quality of movement (it seems to teach much about that which is widely ignored).

wonder in which edition page 193 covers the hover?

I doubt that there is in any book more than is written below. I am sure that the technique remains the same which is Commence to rise at the end of one. Contnue to rise on two; Up on three .Lower the end of three.These are steps not beats. Footwork. 1. H. T. 2.
T. (Right foot)then IE.of Toe L.F.
3.T.H. 4. H.
General Notes. Care should be taken to rise very gradually between steps 1. and 2, reaching the greatest height when LF has brushed towards R.F. the left knee should be relaxed and veering inward at this point. Although the position of 3 is side and slightly forward. the L.F. should tend to move more sideways. The man may turn lady to P.P. at the end of 2 and take steps 3 and 4 in P.P.

"I doubt that there is in any book more than is written below."

Actually there's plenty better information about how to dance that figure in the book you are quoting than the passage you qouted. You listed a few waypoints in that figure, but the important information is back in the beginning of the book when it explains the rules for how you move between those waypoints. Read those and contemplate them for a year or so and you will have your answer.

Anonymous. I like that. Read and contemplate them for a year or two. Never was a truer word spoken. I will add one more piece, and that is on some of those showy steps the man does little, the lady makes the man appear to be doing more than he is with her shaping. We just supply a good frame, relax the arm slightly which is called allowing the lady to breath. Quite a bit of what we see is an illusion . What we see and what we think we see are two different things sometimes.

I have had lessons with the top coaches in the world and never seen them use or refer to the bible. I find that the best coaches will give whatever technical information they feel the student is ready for,any more than that is distacting and takes their thaughts away from what the teacher is trying to get them to do. It's one thing to understand (?) what the book says and be able to dance it at a high leval. That's why we need good teachers. You can spend a year reading the book and I'll spend it with a top coach.
