Emily (community manager)Mainly leader, i do follow but usually just basic stuff. Not a hotshot in both like you!😃

I say you are both right and they do both work. I would say that generally speaking the leader wants to give the lady a hint or a heads up as to what he is leading as early as possible, so Brian's hint is on 2, where Megan's is on 3. Just something to think about, but both are fine!

Yes, it is known as a "Progressive Twinkle", but that is a very bad name that one day should get changed. All twinkles are built on or around promenade pos. This move is never in PP as a syllabus figure as it ends with a box. You chose to end it with a Twinkle which is fine, but the part that progresses is, as Meghan said,  is outside partner progressive boxes. Ya'll are great, keep it up!

Megan is right about the name of the Whip pullback as it has none of the characteristics of a whip. I would call it a "shoulder catch" or more specifically a "spinning LSP catch & pullback!"

How I would love to dance with Megan just once! Ya'll are both great, keep it up!

FYI, The general consensus is that ECS closed basic should be in a "V". Very few people teach to be square/facing your partner. Dancevision/DIVIDA states "promenade" in their syllabus. I have been teaching a "V" for about 40 yrs, yes I am old. You guys are great!
