  What TangoKinesis students are saying:
  
  ‎Lee Hilson‎ to Percell St Thomass
  Yesterday at 4:01pm · Pocahontas, MS ·
  I just had a Percell moment, as I was walking to my room with a wide and straight carpet flooring, I fell into the 8 count basic. It is the first step that caught my attention. Lately, I had slipped into the sloppy execution of my 1st step by failing to slightly rotate (or screw as was once suggested) my upper body to my right. I had not fully appreciated the screw action. Incorrectly, I would sway the lady to get her weight on her right while stepping straight back, thinking that I had her weight where it needed to be. That is when I had a Percell moment, realizing that as I step back making a small contra rotation, this induces a natural bio-mechanical forward step with her left leg as my contra rotation elicits her left hip forward and the leg is going to follow the hip’s lead to maintain balance.
  I heard your voice in my head speaking of how the leg always moves forward and hips are responsible for rotation (turning), this is not a quote just how I filtered it in my thoughts. So now it is with greater clarity that I see that body rotation, normal or contra must be in agreement with weighted foot of the follower.
  Can you tell that I feel imprisoned in my house by the Summer heat and humidity?

  Becke Collins I wish there was a share with this. Not all leaders have this, and it is good for beginners to hear again as well.

  Percell St Thomass I wish there were a share with it also. There are leads, follows, beginners, inters, advancers, and even some teachers who need to hear and understand these things. I was fortunate enough to make the practica last saturday, and was told repeatedly how the little movement/lead/follow tips that I was able to offer helped greatly with the movements that were being danced. This is not a pat on my back; it is a testament to how important these things are; how illusive they can be (even to pros); and, what a joy it is when the dancer feels that 'DK" moment. (LOL...thanks for calling it a Percell moment, Lee. I liked that) :D :D

  Becke Collins If we think we have arrived and will not received instruction, we are the worse for it. It is a never ending process.
