Dance Video La Russe (Video 1)

(No short description)
This video gives a general impression of "La Russe", but differs in several respects: 1. On [1-16] turning the corners and partner is done with a birling turn instead of BH turn. 2. For [17-32] either 1c+3c or 2c+4c dance; this should be one couple only. The Poussette [25-32]is missing, replaced by biring turns for 8 bars placed in [17-24]. 3. Arches have been added for [33-48] 4. The big wheel [57-64] has been replaced by a promenade cclw once round. Was Reasonable, now unavailable on youtube.
