Hi Michael,
Allen has taken an interesting backwards approach for his first dance
attempt. By reversing standard moves, he creates an unusual dance. It's
not clear that his dance move will enter the chestnuts category, so that
we will see more Allen Ortep's in future dances.
He may wish to experiment with reverse swings for better flow.
It is interesting that this type of choreo goes over well in the southern
hemisphere see:
