Written notes only — no embedded video player on this page. Pair with the audio loops to drill the step.
Lia explains the rule she stole from her bachata teacher: your spine is the axis, your feet are the radius. If the line breaks, nothing else looks right. Three drills to feel where the line is and three more to keep it through a pivot.
