If the lead is lousy, which it often is ( not you Mike), work on my own movement.
If "la marca" is nonexistant, feel what I can and GO.
If the man forgets about my axis, put myself on my axis and wait. Make my own dancing the best it can be step by step. A long leg reaching back from my upper torso would be an improvement and will give me something to work on at this weeks Sunday milonga. The traditional birthday waltz video in NY looks stilted and like my body is in a cast. Mike gets the brunt of my aggravation when the dance goes poorly. This has officially stopped. Now I pledge to improve my walk and balance through my own hard work. When we decide to work together on the dance we'll discuss it and hone our steps -practice hold first.
Changing the subject, the new dance floor in our dance room looks so much better than the old literally floating floor. Signature Floor expedited the delivery and we carried it down and laid it in about 2 hours after my birthday trip to NYC. When Andy and Svetlana come on Sunday they have another, cooler, choice of places to work for their maybe private lessons.

Karen, that is such good dancer thinking. Always work on what you can do in the dance, not what the man can do for you!LOL I always try to just work on my posture, taking a long step and RELAXING (my #1 problem) when its going rather slow. Its more than enough to think about!
