A few years ago, I hosted some workshops with Diego DiFalco
and Carolina Zolkavski.  The last workshop I had left open
for them to teach what they thought our community needed. 
They came up with this difficult combination that involved
several difficult pivots with the woman staying on her
axis.  Not a move that I could envision anyone in our
community doing successfully at a milonga.  After watching
people work really hard (and happily) at this combination
and seeing them actually improve, I turned to Diego and
said, "You just wanted people to work on their balance,
didn't you?".  He replied, "Yeah."  We both smiled.

Never saw anyone here perform that combination afterwards,
but their normal turns sure got better.
