    What a relief to know that I am teaching my edges correctly! I have had people look at me funny when I say for inside edges use the opposite arm to foot. Thanks for reminding me to tell my students about the hip and the lean.

    I would love an explanation for the back edges also! I love the Dropping the ankle in reference to eliminate toe pushes!

    That was amazing! Thank you! Now can you do that for the back edges, back crossovers, three-turns, etc?
