Step selection

Selecting the steps to be danced was fairly easy.

I have a database of many old fling steps which I compiled over the last 12 or so years. I have performed many of these steps (and also submitted them to the SOBHD with the intention of bringing them back into competition) so all I had to do was review and select some interesting ones.

I categorised the steps into rough groups based on the step's main contents:

flinging (shedding)
backstepping
toe and heel
shake
crossover
pointing (covering pretty much everything not in the above)

and then selected a sample from each category.
