Hi ice-dancing folk! I was just wondering about the infamous ladies' half-twizzle - is it important for the entry edge to be a clean LFO all the way to the cusp, i.e. basically a counter with a very short exit edge? My coach (who competed several decades ago) teaches it a bit like the end of the Paso Doble (where the Paso has a RFO changing briefly to inside before the RFI mohawk that restarts the pattern, so the Argentine would be LFO with a split-second edge change as the leg returns, making a very flat short LFI3). The step chart doesn't mention any brief edge change though. I took a look at the Nagano Olympic compulsories and noticed the teams in the clip seem to favour a brief flattening, but at this week's JGP rhythm dance event I also heard Mark Hanretty describe the step as a'swing counter-twizzle', and indeed the junior teams did seem to be trying to cling onto the outside edge the whole way. Is this just individual variation in technique, or did something change with the judging specifications since 1998?
