Promenade

Hanging out with students, I am examining the promenade. For years, the step meant changing direction and a signal on the lady's back. My dancer from a time warp, Vicenzo, remembers this clearly. I don't want to try to change his dancing because he might not be able to dance then. Also, getting the concept of body lead to wedding couples can be excruciating, not to say impossible.
Teacher's dilemma.
So Tuesday, I presented both to the tiny class and let them choose. They preferred the new way, saying it looked more natural. Now I get to watch them dance and see how they do.
