“It's not your hand that goes first, it's your body.”

CONTEXTPointing out that the movement starts from the body (core), not the hand

“If you turn her with your hands, you end up using too much force and the circle gets small.”

CONTEXTExplaining what goes wrong when you lead a turn with your hands

“Don't just lift your arms — use your whole body big and breathe into it.”

“Keep your head up — when you exit, your head can't drop.”

CONTEXTHighlighting how important head position is when you exit out of a turn

CONTEXTWalking through the foot shape and weight transfer in the footwork
