Fun With Momentum - Int/Adv - Riding The Wave
For both leader and follower, the use of body weight becomes more important as we talk about momentum. The leader can lean away from her slightly ahead of her or behind to speed her up or slow her down. Followers can likewise use the degree with which they pull back in their body to add some degree of control in the combination. Even though there is the whoosh of the leader's momentum, there can be enough range so that the follower can "own" her steps. And she does that with her body weight.

From a review on the website: Olsen, an itinerant troubadour who regularly graces Australian folk festivals, was at her most engaging. Such was the candour of her songs and chatty tales that it would impossible for anyone with blood in their veins not to empathise with her. Her full-throated voice and crisp guitar served up such diverse subject matter as crop-dusting and prostitution, while a revealing yarn about life-drawing classes introduced The Truth of a Woman. From her new CD came In Your Darkened Room, the title track to an album containing some of her finest work, a black frost edging her usual warmth and humour.
