“Come up using your body, and use your arm to keep her movement connected.”

CONTEXTExplaining the split roles of body and arm in the side down lead

“You can't take this lead with your arm. Keep your frame exactly as it is and take the lead with your body.”

“She goes to the right, then the guy goes down — and her curve connects all by itself.”

CONTEXTExplaining how the follow's body line connects naturally off the lead in the side down sequence

“The one who finishes it is the girl. You squeeze the hips all the way out to the limit, but the upper body can't go wandering off — keep it where it is and squeeze all the way through.”

CONTEXTExplaining the follow's fixed upper body and hip use at the end of the hip movement sequence

“When the force comes out the opposite way, tuck the hand away; when the wheel goes in, pull the hand out. Style it like that and the hips look bigger.”
