AY #108 A full circle with the leg swing

This one could be called break-dancing 101. Starting from a seated position with the legs to the side, the student learns to elegantly move both legs in a complete circle around the pelvis. The end result looks a little like a simple break-dancing move. Maybe down the road we'll come upon a lesson that teaches us how to spin on one shoulder. And surprise, surprise, everything that was learned in lesson 107 helps to make this lesson easier. These two would make a great end to a series that included a couple of more basic side-bending and twisting lessons to start out. Again, it's not for rank beginners and it is one of those lessons that doesn't have many helpful auxiliary moves built into it. It seems to count on those who are taking this lesson having taken some related previous lessons. On the other hand, this lesson is not so difficult that students who are in relatively good physical shape wouldn't be able to accomplish what's asked for in the lesson. This one is really fun to do.
