To Mr. Wayne Sleep: I saw you dance this several times, when the RB was at the Met in NYC, maybe in the 1950/s-60/s ?...and you nailed it! Totally! Bravo! I remember wondering if I liked that show off boy in blue, as a person.

A "hint " to Mr. Sleep...your student cannot see your face because you are demonstrating to him while your back is to him, though, your face is to towards the audience and camera. Perhjaps face him to perfect the subtle expression changes you are trying to explain to him. Sent with all due respect, SP
