my fashionably late .02....

I see a lot of people that start experimenting with body positioning in what most teachers would consider to be the opposite order of operations... they start trying to hang off starting from the bottom up and end up being surprised that they're all crossed up... If you wanna avoid that, you gotta start at the top & work your way down.

Step 1 - get your chin pointed through the turn.
Step 2 - start leaning your shoulders into the turn. Keep your arms relaxed.
Step 3 - start weighting the inside butt cheek.
Step 4 - slide your hips over.


Obviously that's very simplified, but my point is, when beginning to work on your body positioning, it's often better to start hiiiigh to get lowww.
