Today we continued on Tango.
1) Posture
a. Sharron's left shoulder/arm!!! Think of bow and arrow on the prominent step, don't let the bow tilt back.
b. Daniel's right arm need to keep up, no dropping, and elbow should not go behind the shoulder, especially in prominent position.
2) Timing
a. Timing for "Walk, Walk, Link" is "Slow Slow and Slow". Link needs to be faster/sharper. Lady needs to use the right foot as the pivot point.
3) Rock
a. rock is the rocking of the leg, not the tilting of upper body like a rocking chair.
b. rock is small sexy rocks.
4) Reverse turn
a. Heel lead for the lady on the right foot forward step.
b. Daniel needs to step to the Right on the back step.

Q&A
1) outside partner: Man's foot is not aligned with the direction of the movement, but almost 30 degrees away, while the body is like 45 degrees away.
2) In tango: what about the right side lead, and stepping on the inside edge of circle? What is it about? why we need to do that?
