(Nancy talking) I remember, when I learned the sit, it was relatively easy to do in a mediocre way but I found certain aspects difficult to remember and coordinate so that it could look really good.

• It was hard to remember to keep the back heel very high.
• It was hard to learn to let the leader take me where he wanted me which is the only way our back legs could be parallel.
• It was hard to let the leader control the speed of our going down rather than "helping".

(David talking) The thing we see leaders struggle with is the sense of giving the follower a nice flat place to lean rather than a pokey place. For many people, balance is also an issue. You need to find the stability of the "T" of the feet (the forward leg turned out and the back leg parallel).
