WHAT DOES ONE-STEP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

one-step

One-Step

The One-Step was a ballroom dance popular in social dancing at the beginning of the 20th century. ¡Si vas a París, papá! Troy Kinney writes that One-Step originated from the Turkey Trot dance, with all mannerisms of the latter removed, so that “of the original ‘trot’ nothing remains but the basic step”. The One-Step included the following basic figures: ▪ The Castle Walk. ▪ The Turn is a walking step, pivoting on one foot to change direction. The right foot comes from the preceding step to the place of starting; while it makes two successive long steps the left foot turns “on its place”. The turn′s completion brings the right foot into anterior fourth position. The woman′s steps are the converse of the man′s, her left foot making the long steps, while her right foot turns on its place. The turn gains smoothness by means of allowing the right knees to touch each other lightly. ▪ The Dip.
