I love the short videos with retro music; they are very informative, easy to understand and they totally make me laugh as well If they were in black and white with fake super 8 scratches like an old film, they would be small artworks on their own.
The distinction of yielding and asserting just explained taking over the lead in switch dances for me! I knew that it was almost always safe and effective to take over the lead on the 4 of a 6-count pattern, and I knew it was completely dysfunctional and uncomfortable to try to take over the lead on the 1. But this finally explains WHY that's the case! On the 4, the currently-leader is generally yielding for the catch, so if the currently-follower asserts to begin a lead, there's no conflict! But when the currently-leader is asserting to lead the 1, if the currently-follower tries to also assert to overcome that, it's a bad time all around! Thanks for this clear explanation and aha moment! (Now to go look for other points in the dance where the leader is yielding so I can figure out fun new ways to switch….)
I really enjoyed this game. For the longest time I was so confused around “the relaxed connection” talk and when I saw the difference between assertion and yield everything just made so much more sense. I’ve heard the term resisted release and got really confused around different bicep muscle interaction etc. to the point that it made me really paranoid in my capabilities I was going to do it wrong so I purposely avoided the situation that had me have to use that tactic. Also using the skill of diagonality has really transformed my Sugarpush shavings
I really like the information, the 9 arms video and the charts in this chapter! It makes the options very clear!
