Class syllabus: 

Welcome

Continue from Block 1
Practice more choreo from Tornado (Line 12.5) until the end.

Things to Remember
(1) Tornado
-- When spinning, right arm gradually extends up. Think of the bachi spiraling the inside of a cone to the point.
(2) Bow Tie
-- When both bachies hit the rim in a circular motion (the "jya" parts at the second half of Line 14), the circles are dynamic. They go from small circles to large circles.
(3) Ardor
-- When you step with your right in preparation for the turn, footing should be around 2/3 of the taiko (toward the audience). You want it far enough to have room to turn, but close enough to be able to hit the rims.
-- Your torso is facing the audience when hitting the bottom Ga (after your turn).
-- The aforementioned Ga "rebounds" and circles counterclockwise to hit the Da at the top rim. During it's path, the left arm and right arm "gathers" and then crosses apart.
-- Arms are always moving in the primary plane of your body.
-- Make biggest possible circles.

Things to Remember THROUGHOUT
-- Keeps shoulders relaxed and down. Looks more graceful.
-- Bachies have weight and they "drag". However, they are still in line with the forearm so don't let them go too loose or perpendicular to the arm.
-- When there is a moment you can extend your arm, REALLY EXTEND YOUR ARM.
