Last weekend I jammed all the Gypsies. Not really. But I did dance with Alice Mei. What what.
Thomas and Alice are pretty amazing teachers. I really dug the first day of workshops, which worked on a lot of cool rotational leads. I now see why their ILHC spotlights are always so ... round.
Day two was less natural to me. The problem area - over-rotated swingouts. Holy crap is this hard. The main problem with it is the beginning of the move has to be led entirely from the core. I thought I was getting pretty good about not arm leading, but apparently not so much.
Moral of the weekend: Lots to practice. Time to go back to the drawing board on the body leading stuff. Work on being more relaxed with footwork.
And yes, dancing with Alice was amazing.
