Being too safe in lessons is an extension of not really knowing. I can't tell the maestro what I want from him/her if I don't what what I want myself and that is something that needs to be worked on continuously. It's not about copying though, it's about finding the essence of the dance that someone has shown you, a way of placing a foot, or taking a step that you would want to be able to do on a basic level. So what do I really want to learn? - How to angle my feet outward more so I don't look so pigeon toed - How to embellish with confidence - How to step smoothly and naturally - How to setup the pivot so my feet move and swivel better - How to always be in control of my weight and momentum - How to stop moving my feet around in odd ways (tics and habits) - How to do a natural gancho
