Cool Ways to Travel - Adv - Prep For Cadena - Drag

Once we teach this second part of the cadena with the drag, we often have students ask, "is it ok if we also continue to do the steps the way we originally learned them?" To which we answer, "absolutely not" (no, just kidding). Of course, it's ok. In fact, we think this is really cool. That a teaching tool we've created is sufficiently strong for students to want to keep it. Even while so many of them just really like the cadena.
