Argentine Tango Notes, Practica with Jose, DNI Tango

Started out feeling a little lost / fuzzy. That's what I get for staying up too late and skipping coffee before.

1. I feel like I am a lot better about keeping my axis, in general. I am not getting any complaints about falling backward while walking backward.

2. I need to work on hips and knees, so that my foot always stays in contact with the floor. Hips & knees create the space for this.

3. Also, I need to respond with my leg first, then my torso for ocho movements (etc.). I need to keep my torso with my partner and show initial resistance to torso movement.

4. From previous lessons: I need to use my heel more, have more connection to the floor
