Horton

Sitting out during Jimmy's class was interesting. It was a small class so he could give more corrections.

The theme of the day was: DON'T ARCH.

In the flat back series, especially in the relevé sequence, people tend to arch in the flat back and coming back to upright in the arch causes them to be off center and fall.

In the coccyx sit, Brittney was feeling it in her lower back. That's because she was arching. Jimmy said that the coccyx sit should actually be done with a wide angle between the torso and the legs. The small angle was added way after Lester Horton.

Brittney's stag turns were a little shakey. She was tilting her torso toward the supporting leg.

Coming from the front T, parallel rond de jambe the gesture leg to the side, to get the leg higher, you twist at the hips. At least, that's what everyone else did.

I don't remember any other corrections, but there were a lot of good ones today.
