[Tower Ravens] Ottawa Waltz (new clog)

Hi everyone, We made some great progress with the Ottawa waltz on Tuesday. Becky and Katharine are basically at dance-out level now which will be really useful for future practices! For those interested, here are a few pointers about the dance we came up with: Step 1: Leg heights on scuff have been relatively consistent and good, but both legs and toes should be more pointed. The first scuff should take the entire body position diagonally left and the subsequent shuffle should be done 45 degrees towards the right. These two angles repeat until the end of the step. Step 2: We decided on ‘raven’ style round shuffles at the end of the step. Step 3: Initial rounded scuffs should be done with larger circles of the leg. Toes need to be pointed throughout the step. Step 4: The toe digs behind & in front should stretch as far as possible. Keep toes pointed throughout when possible. Step 5: First half of final step: body position moves diagonally left & right, but the head should be pointed forwards at all times. The step should end with a straight ‘irish’ style leg. We’ll go through all of this on Monday so hopefully it will all become clear! Thanks, Ellie
