Standard Less with Ikaika on 9/1/2009

Location: Dance Spectrum.
Time: 8pm
Attendee: Sharron, Daniel

Today we had lesson with Ikaika's new partne. And we worked on Waltz.

Sharron's notes
1. hold:
a. walk into an lowered position, and then stretch out.
b. Daniel's left knee should be relaxed.
2. natural turn:
a. Sharron needs to leave the head and upper body to the left/behind while letting the hip turn with the leader. Thinking waltz as the dance of the past moment.

3. double reverse spin turn:
a. Always keep the head weight on the heel of the standing leg, for all poses, not only in double reverse spin turn.
b. swing the hip out of the heel turn. swing right side up, not left side down.
c. don't over turn. so that we are winded up for the reverse turn after it.

4. Prominent position.
a. Sharron's left foot needs to be bigger to get behind Leader's hip.

5. Chasse from Prominent:
a. turn head while turning hip
