A VW question

Hi everyone...I am trying to pick your brains. Have any of you seen a different and elegant VW accent step (trick)? I'm sick to death of the woman standing on one foot while the man spins her around. You never really see any other step but that and I want to do something different. Has anyone seen anything different?

Get the lady to raise one leg forward so that it's straight from the hip to the foot. Now, pushing the leg, run round the lady, turning her on the spot. It's called, 'The Capstan.'

Do you have to nail her other foot to the floor

I think you should consult Telemark on that one. I do know that it's wise to check that the lady's pivoting foot is not attached to a false leg. If so, you will have to quickly change direction to screw the foot back on!

No good asking me: I'm strictly International Style, so that means Natural & Reverse Turns, Natural & Reverse Fleckerls & the Contra Check - and that's it - 100% of VW.
