This occurred on Tuesday and is a good example of how I work.
One of the leaders was having problems with a turn. Specifically stopping it. Each time he tried to end the turn and return to the walk the follower would already be halfway through the next sidestep. I didn’t correct his posture. I didn’t remind him of the structure of the turn. I told him to stop thinking ahead of the step and start thinking to the step instead. It is too easy to get wrapped up and comfortable with the structure of the turn. You may intend to stop the turn after the next ocho but you are so used to thinking of the sidestep that can come after that that you inadvertently lead the sidestep instead of the stop. Think to the step, the next step can wait. Capture the Normandy beaches first and think of Paris later.
We spend so much time thinking about what our bodies are doing and forget what our minds are thinking about. A little attention to what is going through that mass behind the eyes may deliver more results that hours and hours of frustrated practice.
