/The turns with rondé moves are simply a spin on one foot with
the other leg trailing around, but with style. As an alternative
cross unwind so that you remain on two feet but keep the weight
on the correct foot. In terms of retaining the beauty of the
waltz it is worth the effort to dance with rondé moves.
