Acronyms = interesting positions

So, what did I work on yesterday? Just this tongue and body twister - CBMP

Found this definition of CBMP - Contra Body Movement Position after a nice Google serach.

Contra or Contrary Body Movement Position is often used in steps that require you to be out of line with your partner. In the technique books, it is defined as: "A foot position where the foot is placed on or across the line of the supporting foot, either in front or behind, to maintain body line".

Essentially, this means that you are keeping your upper body facing one direction while your lower body faces a different one. This is generally accomplished by leaving the shoulders where they were in the previous step and allowing the legs to take a new direction.



However! You should not lose connection with your partner when in CBMP and should work even harder to keep your centres facing each other.

That translates to hard work! We worked up a great sweat getting that working smoothly but our lines look so beautiful. My instructor even stopped and showed me how good we looked in the mirror! :)

Also learned a bit about Bolero...will go into more of that next time but lets just say that it is all about give a little to get a lot.
