Its much better to do it properly, particularly paying maximum attention to where the axis is, than to speed up and get it wrong!

When I danced with Pablo, it was amazingly slow but VERRRRRY smooth. He waited until I was balanced (on my own axis) and sometimes he sort of pivoted me back and forth very slightly, seemingly to test that I was centred before he lead the next move?

I felt so light when he was changing my direction, he made it feel like no effort whatsoever.
