Wonderful and interesting lesson! The WDSF DanceSport Academy is really doing something valuable, deeply appreciated! God bless all the people made this happen!

[@rogelee-TW]

Body Tone(stretch to 4 sides) , Heaviness(relax the hip knee ankle joints for the feel of weight), lightness(emotionally motivated, to feel the joy of lifting and stretching more). contact point is just right under the rib cage.... interesting and valuable information. 11:00, Stretch, release the tension out, keep the tone. 18:00, Breath in when stretching, breath out when lowering(heaviness) 20:00, always self coordinated, then start the leading with standing leg and core area

[@jonathanfriedlander3111]

Mr Melnikov is the "Shakespeare" of dance lecturers .

[@rogelee-TW]

18:00, Rise, breath in for tone and lightness. Lowering, breath out for release of weight and force for heaviness and groundiness.

[@rogelee-TW]

15:00, Use the lightness( the happiness, the impulse) for presentation of line and shape.
