There's two different styles of Oddington, so different that they might be different dances. The Thames Valley style, dating from 1959 when the original notes were studied and turned into a dance, is a brisk, vigorous style, left footed, and danced with subdued aggression. The arm movements are forceful, the hand being driven from the hip up to in front of the face with a punch - ideally so that the dancer looks over wrist as the waver flies up.
