Standard Lesson with Ikaika on 2/11/2010

I am writing this entry late. Almost forgot what I learned @ this class.

We started with the new step bounce fall away in Waltz, then we did foxtrat feather and feather finish and three steps.

1. We talked a lot about rising into the ground, not away from it, using the foot. helps to keep balance better. I was thinking about the weight transferring from each bone of my foot from the front the the back.

2. We also talked about the sway from the hip, and the leg, but not from the upper body.

I think i vaguely got the idea, can do it one out of 10 times. So need to practice with a concious thought on this.
