AHH!!!

My bota fogos are wrong! Ugh... at least half of it is wrong, and the fact that the first half is wrong is now throwing off my second half. Basically I've been doing the first part just like the second part, well now I know to do the first eighth or quater very much like the first eighth or quater of a rumba walk (without the compression/settle). Straightening that forward leg before the heel leaves the ground; leg rise then foot rise (I was rising with the foot, then the leg before). Although I shouldn't really use the term rise since that would imply fall... but I can't think of better terminology right now. Then the second part is the same as I've been doing it, but with a smaller step so that I can get more hip action, and I need to put more/faster rotation on the 'a'.

Plus I really noticed how bad I am about not going diagonal enough with those... it makes a huge difference for travelling down the floor.

This revelation of leg rise first has thrown my mind into a craze considering the implications to crisado's walks...
