quick notes from lesson.
- relax arms (release tension), connecting left arm to left knee!
- drape over tray, keeping level even when rising and falling: the parts do not all have to move in one block, although they move in harmony.
- neutralize after (and between) shapes by "bending forward" (not really)
- weight between partners by bringing left or right side forward (left or right side of a 2" tie), when moving backwards this means drawing the left or right side of the partner in.
- more of this feeling in foxtrot (ribcage moving and forward feeling) when passing feet compared to closing feet
- don't tense up the knees on heel turns (double reverse, telemarks, foxtrot natural turns)! similarly in waltz chasse, the body and lower parts can rise but at different times to the top, keep the top down more often.
- contracheck present from higher up than previous, keeping butt back
- weight towards the leader is fluid, not constant (don't mess with the balance).
very nice lesson!
