BACK STORY
Lili Marlene is the most popular song of the World War II era, and now is especially associated with Marlene Dietrich.
Learning the WING step
WING Definition:
In semi-closed position LOD, step thru with trail feet, draw L to R no wt
(woman forward R around man turning LF), touch L (woman forward L turning to sidecar position)
(man 1 wt change, woman 3);
There is just a little LF rotation here, so in semi, the man begins facing line and wall.
At the end, he might be facing LOD or even line and center.
WING Step Teach Demo
CAUTION: For lack of a better video clip, ignore the parts except for WING.
Woman's footwork is correct, but Man's footwork shows a 3-weight change "cheat."
