Standard lesson with Ikaika on 2/26/2010

Attendee: Sharron, Daniel

Worked on Waltz today.

1. press into the floor. Flex all the joints, from ankle to knee, to hip.
2. On the natural turn, stay on 2 for longer, think upper body extending left while Leader's body pass mine. LEFT LEFT on the upper body!!!
3. I was told to give the left side to the partner without taking the right side away. This twist in the body is supposely mostly done at the ribcage part (middle uper). from the top of the ribcage to the head, was just growing into an up left space. the sway is then started from the knee, though the hip.
3. turning lock, put the right knee directly behind the left knee, not to the right behind. This helped in get the right amount of turns.
4. Daniel was asked to bend down, especially flex hip joint as well. he was also told to keep the correct head position. not just turning faces here and there. he was also asked to turn the foot earlier in the second step of the over turned spin turn.
