Standard Lesson Notes with Ikaika on 11/7/2009

Time: Saturday, 11:45am
Location: Spectrum
Attendee: Sharron, Daniel

Today we worked on the sway and shaping in both Foxtrot and Waltz
1. The reverse turn in Foxtrot (i.e. the a heel turn after feather) is a left turning figure for the man, therefore a right turning for the lady, therefore a sway to the right. This sway to the right helped with the turn for the lady, it also create an invitation for the man to pass through. The sway is neutralized only at the slow at the beginning the feather finish. Don’t change it back too early. But mean time, the head needs to be kept in the left space still (i.e. the lingering effect still desired).
2. Ikaika worked with Daniel on the heel turn, regarding where to step the foot.
