I had a private lesson. One hour intense focus on so many things that I was not aware of (doing wrong). Almost everything had to be corrected.
Like how to stand. How not to move my arms when leading ocho's, just a slight move of my upper body is enough. How to start the dance, like slightly raising, using breathing in, then move. How to really drive forward. How to slow down. How to approach a new partner. And I must not move from one side to another when listning to the music before moving. Not holding my partner in close embrase too tight.
We switched roles several times, I understand how hard it is for my partner when I am not clear enough......
I'm not saying my regulair teachers had missed all these points, I'm sure they have seen it already. But just one private lesson by a skilled and dedicated teacher helped me a lot.
Now see if my body remembers all of this.....
It's all about focus, intensity, really being there. Every step is special. Every dance is special. And every partner.
