Guys, i think you're both in agreement but trying to make an argument.
Dance the figures that suit you. If you're tall and lean, the flowing movement of the basic feather, reverse turn ....3-step wil suit you. And this group of figures does represent the inherent characteristics of the foxtrot(that's my view anyway). If you really like doing them, work on them, it'll be so rewarding. But if you don't like them, or they don't suit you, do something else. But as i've said before, everyone needs a good repertoire of figures that they can do nicely, even though they may go through a whole string of comps without doing them.
Anymouse, would you agree that if a couple does perform a feather, reverse turn...etc and does it well, they're likely to be raised in the judges estimations, rather than if they stuck to other figures which they perform well. Obviously if they have a group that looks gorgeous, they should do that for sure. If only...
