Kathryn's Waltz

To my wife on her birthday

GRAPEVINE TO THE RIGHT; FULL SPIN RIGHT WITH LEFT FULL RONDÉ (BEGIN LEFT)

GRAPEVINE TO THE LEFT; ¾ SPIN LEFT WITH RIGHT ¾ RONDÉ (BEGIN RIGHT)

RIGHT LONG STEP FORWARD; SLIDE LEFT TO JOIN; ¼ TURN LEFT; WEAVE RIGHT

If floor is sufficiently accommodating, slide right foot along floor using left foot to propel body forward. This will only work if you can glide!

TOUCH RIGHT; FULL SPIN RIGHT WITH RIGHT FULL RONDÉ (BEGIN RIGHT); GRAPEVINE LEFT

CROSS RIGHT OVER LEFT; ½ TURN RIGHT; CROSS LEFT OVER RIGHT ½ TURN LEFT

Steps 25-30 are moving to the left

STEP FORWARD RIGHT, PIVOT HALF TURN LEFT, POINT RIGHT TOE TO RIGHT; WEAVE LEFT

STEP FORWARD LEFT; ½ SPIN LEFT WITH RIGHT FULL RONDÉ (BEGIN BACK) STEP FORWARD RIGHT; ½ SPIN RIGHT WITH LEFT FULL RONDÉ (BEGIN BACK)

Using the John Denver track the dance will end on step 39. In stead of ending with right foot above dance floor continue with right toe pointing to the floor as it sweeps around ending with right leg crossed over the left and right toe touching the floor to the left of the left foot, gently lowering the head to look down at the right foot crossed over the left

STEP FORWARD LEFT; KICK RIGHT ½ SPIN LEFT HITCH; ROCK RIGHT-LEFT TOUCH RIGHT

REPEAT

The turns with rondé moves are simply a spin on one foot with the other leg trailing around, but with style. As an alternative cross unwind so that you remain on two feet but keep the weight on the correct foot. In terms of retaining the beauty of the waltz it is worth the effort to dance with rondé moves.
