Anonymous. You said. Not quite right.
This was when the stills were being dicussed. I seem to remember saying that if it were moving it would pass the part you were critisising. If you go to the new computer moving clips and go frame to frame. It is most likely you could find that same frame and move through it.
Anybody reading this I would strongly suggest you go to the Learning Centre. click on Forward Walks and see the moving computer images. You will need Quicktime to view this which is easily loaded free.Just click on the logo.

The stills are just excerpts from the movies, right?

A line connecting erroneous points is also in error. Yes, it may be harder to see in motion, but the errorr are still there.

Anonymous. There are no errors there. If you could do it that good you would be the teacher and not the pupil.Plus you wouldn't be going to the point of imbalance and falling forward would you. With a partner also falling but backwards.

"Anonymous. There are no errors there."

If that's what you believe, then you disagree with the guy who actually created those sequences which you choose to trust...

Anonymous. You are stretching the truth to be just short of being a Liar.
You will do or say anything to justify what you have written
Sometimes you deliberatly ramble on to confuse the issue. I always boil it down to is he saying yes or no.

" I always boil it down to is he saying yes or no."

I am saying that there are serious errors in the walks shown here, and as a result you should not try to copy them, but only use them as a starting point for discussion.

Anonymous. Exactly which part of that one walk do you consider wrong.

There are numerous posts her explaining that, so I'll retype only one highlight:

The moving leg is getting too far in advance of the body too soon. Amongst other things, this puts the dancer more off balance than she should be, as that unsupported weight of the moving leg in front of the body would shift her center of gravity too far forward of her standing leg.

I believe based on old posts that at the time Jonathan created these, he was in the habit of sliding part of his weight on the moving foot, and as a result the pictures show dancing that would only be possible that way.

Anonymous. I don't believe you use your supporting foot right to the tip of the toe correctly. Therefore you will not get that light floating feeling that you should after you have driven which also means the front foot has some work to do. Split the slow into four and use three. Then use one half to come into a neutral position. This will happen naturally providing you realise there is a balance point when the leg comes under the body.For the moment leave the ladies step out of it.

I'm pretty sure I use my departing toe more than you do, but that's rather beside the point, as it is something that occurs at the extreme of the stide, wheras we were arguing about the beginning of the stride, when the body first projects past the standing leg.

At the point when this happens, my body is briefly ahead of both feet. My feet don't pass each other until my body is already projecting forward from my standing foot - which is precisely as it should be.

And strongly hints that I'm probably making more use of my standing toe than you are.
