“You're not stamping down — you step into the floor and the energy goes up, like your right side is rising.”

“It should feel like your chest is holding your head up, and your neck stays soft while it's lifted.”
CONTEXTExplaining the relationship between the neck and the chest in the starting position of a head circle
“Think of your neck as lifted — don't drop it back. Think of holding it long and tall.”
CONTEXTA correction on neck posture at the 12 o'clock position
“If your left shoulder closes, the head closes; if it opens, the head opens too. It opens because the rib cage opens, and closes because the rib cage closes.”
CONTEXTExplaining how the opening and closing of the shoulder and rib cage decides the head's direction in a head circle
“Even in a head circle, it has to feel like your torso is carrying your head along. If they move at the same time, it comes out looking robotic.”
CONTEXTExplaining that the head shouldn't move on its own — it should be pulled along by the torso to look natural
“If her head closes right away, it hurts. So you lead it like she's relaxed and riding along — you can't just tip her over.”
CONTEXTStressing how to lead a head circle gently so it doesn't strain your partner's neck
“It's not the head that goes — you have to let her step on the foot and turn from there.”
CONTEXTOn the transition into a turn: the rotation has to start from the feet

CONTEXTOn the right-turn line: it's more efficient to feel the back as the center of the rotation
“Your torso stays pulled up toward the crown of your head the whole time, and you keep that "up" direction while you bend.”
