The thing is, it's easy for me to talk about technique for this one. In a conceptual way, if you're both balanced on your left leg, for example, then the drag can be easy and you can do lots of other foot stuff.

However, we'd like to talk about something more profound. One thing that makes a drag look and feel cool in a subtle, but very tangible way, is the quality of the connection between his foot and her foot and his body and her body. You can lead the drag without the foot at all; you can do the drag without the body at all, but, when you do both, it becomes more three dimensional in a world of flat pictures. But this is extremely advanced so look for more about this in take 3 when we get around to filming it.

It's interesting how often a man and woman have different perspectives about the same issue:

An English teacher wrote the words, 'Woman without her man is nothing' on the blackboard and asked the students to punctuate so that it made sense.

The boys wrote: 'Woman, without her man, is nothing.'

The girls wrote: 'Woman! Without her, man is nothing.'
