March 26, 09 Slavi Lesson & Grovers Workshop

Foxtrot

Grovers

Feather
prep before (like what slavi said about waltz), i.e. get foot ready to step on 4&
usage of body weight for movement,

Weight should be entirely on right at the end
Only right foot should be outside partner--shouldn't see my belt


Reverse Turn
Just walk
remember the shape (right side up after)

Feather finish
toe flat - toe, let lady go first (similar to slavi lesson)
again finish on entirely right foot, press down and let the weight be on it

cecile has a new head thing for throwaway oversway

Mar 12 Slavi Lesson Waltz

So told Cecile the closing shoulders stuff not to be taken literally

Hold more on the pivots (after whisk), also be careful to keep neck straight. also changed the rise & fall to be flatter
Now ending in a promenade, to double locks...slowly rise toward the end

After the right lunge, check spin want to use less body rotation, just remain body straight and take the right leg away to encourage the girl to follow leg timing.

The ending transition changed to a running weave.
