Blitzing Closed Impetus Turn and Feather Finish in Foxtrot!

We are returning to the Impetus Turn in Slow Foxtrot and adding the Feather Finish. Previously we looked at the Impetus Turn as one of Lindsey's Pet Peeves, and then a subsequent video on how to avoid some of the no nos, and now it's time to have another look!

The Impetus Turn can be danced in Modern Waltz, Quickstep, and Slow Foxtrot, and in all cases the figure is basically the same, it's just the rhythm that changes to get an execution in the spirit of the dance you're dancing it in.

After mistaking our previous videos for having a Modern Waltz focus (because it doesn't include the Feather Finish) I discovered it's actually a Slow Foxtrot video, so this is an "accidental double up". Nevertheless we've released some great content over recent years to do with all the aspects of this move in Slow Foxtrot, and the relevant links are below.

So, the next time you're on the floor dancing an Impetus turn (in any style), or some Slow Foxtrot, there will be no excuse for not hitting all the right technique when it comes to Impetus Turns, Heel Turns, or Feathers!
