...this introduces an important concept: that of imagining...in your mind's eye...where you want to end up [ie: visualization!]

-tourists read maps as if from a great distance
-4th beat 4th beat 2nd beat 2nd beat beat ...Easier said than done. Sometimes not even.
-I spied a satisfied smile! Coincidentally, it appeared ever so momentarily just after the class jumped in unison for the first time in the history of the studio, then seamlessly changed lines.
-sissone ouvert trajectory: up, then turn; do not allow back leg to flop; to overcome blind spot, visualize where you want to end up (Ushuaia)
-pas de basque en dedans does not morph into temps-lie
-coupe pas de bourree en dedans/en dehors does not switch directions until the second step
-in side cambre, imagine bending scapula, not arm; arm follows b/c it is attached
-temps lie elance: the coupe is a rising action
-a great weight is attached to my tailbone, pulling it to the floor, while a balloon (ie: my head) rises to the ceiling... :o)
