[Tango-L] a teaching moment

[jackie ling wong]

okay... i would like to start a thread of teaching moments...  when  
the light bulb goes off... innovative thoughts that can help teachers  
help their students

for example

we have a student in her 60s who was leaning back in the upper body  
which caused her to arch her back.   as a consequence she couldn't  
walk backwards properly...(arched back results in a shorter step  
back)  then i realized that she was wearing bifocals... so she was  
tilting her head back so she could focus... the solution was  
simple... she chose to take her glasses off when dancing.

i think the same applies for the bifocal contact lenses....then  
closing the eyes would probably be better.

more to come...but i would love to hear about your teaching ahas!
