A dance epiphany to start the new year: be lazy!

So I went dancing while still dealing with the leftover symptoms of a cold. Bad, I know, but I think you aren’t that contagious once the worst is over, and I did wash my hands a lot… and I’d not been dancing for two weeks. Since I still wasn’t feeling 100%, I wanted to take it easy and preserve my energy. This seemed to really improve some of the issues that had  been pointed out to me in a private lesson months ago, like compensating for my leader too much and being too tense in my frame/arms. I’d been trying to work on this but never felt like I was making a lot of progress. This time, I had a very relaxed basic frame and truly felt like I was as relaxed as possible and as tense as necessary (depending on the specific lead) which made everything a lot more comfortable and connected. Yay!
