Improving Your Spins

In my Monday class my instructor (the superb Osiris Cruz) has preached the benefits of balancing on one foot (the whole foot) forever. Both with your eyes open and while closed. There are a few other professionals in the city that have also recommended simple calf strengthening exercises and so I'm finally taking their advise and balancing on the balls each foot for two bars of music, then resting and switching feet for two bars of music. We'll see how it works but on a daily basis, I could see this accelerate my improvement, after all if I don't have the strength to stay up, the rest is useless.

Strengthen the foundation, then build the house.
