Vocabulary - Take 2 - Leaders - Media Vuelta
A few additional technique items:
- For Leaders: At the beginning of the rotation, while she steps side forward around you, we typically do that rotation more through the chest and the abs and less in the hips. As it pivots, then the hips become more involved.
- One thing I (David speaking) had to fight as I was learning this combination was not just having a body lead but making sure the left arm didn't give in as I pivoted. Because the left arm is static as the torso pivots, it helps motivate the follower's pivot as well.
- After the pivot, it's sometimes useful to take the tiniest breath after the follower has pivoted and then sigh into the next step.
