Standard Lesson with Ikaika 5/25/2010

Attendee:

Today we continued on Watlz.
1. Posture and Poise.

2. coming out of the right foot lounge, need to move from front of left foot to front of the right foot, then initiate the shape of the upper body from the lower body. Go from the outside of the left foot to the outside of the right foot.

3. Chasse
a. difference between chasse and fall away. On the second step, I feel turning, on the fall away, I don't feel like turning.
b. keep in the left space, the energy for that comes from the lower body, the foot, the knee, the hip.

4. timing
chasse 12&3
running lock 12&3
fallaway 1&23

5. fall away,
a. turn the head at 1&.
b. keep to the left of the space, especially after getting back into close position. Try to do the same thing as what was done at the end of the chasse.


6. the rounde is supposed to be something goes forward, instead of trying to go side ways?? Not sure if I'm clear on this?
