   Not the smoothest dancers ever, but this video has something to teach about waltz lifts

   as well--this is the only video I've ever seen containing cross-step redowa:

   From Stanford, another review of historical mazurka, for completion's sake, including coupe d'talon and zingerella:

   best mazurka form in a lead I've ever seen, save for the left hand in redowa, which I think

   should be lower and stronger for safety's sake:

   this is a little goofy, but I like the contrast between the two leads--one is usually using the

   floor for his bounce up on beats 3 and 6, and the other is usually muscling his way

   through--I think the difference is instructive: look for the body compressing into a bow

   as the foot drives into the floor just ahead of the beat, vs. an upright stance as the

   foot taps the floor slightly behind the beat.  The former is more satisfying, I aver,

   because of the slight, unforced delay w/bowsnap feel off beats 3 & 6.

Polish, I think, take on the mazuka dance:
