The key, it seems, is remaining relaxed while holding the torso in place. Perhaps also "stepping back" and instead of executing doubles or triples, just do single, slow, relaxed turns with very little force [that seems to be another "male dancer" issue - using too much force when it isn't necessary]. <p>Hopefully - this will help. Another is perhaps doing "robots" in the mirror [as my RAD instructor likes to call them] - both for spotting and upper body placement. <p>Good luck. <p>Sangode<br><br><br>[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
