Question:

I have a query about the Half Poussette (strathspey) - when do 1st lady and 2nd man change back to right foot - is it permissible after 2 bars or do they finish the figure before changing feet at the end of 4 bars?

Answer:

I would never advocate changing feet in the middle of a formation nor does the Manual indicate this should be done. The answer to this question is to complete the formation before changing feet back."
