I wish to comment and it is not a negative critic but more so to let you know, and hopefully, you can redo all over again with better coordination involving camera person's zooming in & out and NOT all the time plus, focusing the footwork while you speak but not necessarily featuring your facial beauty & expression. We want to see, concentrate & follow your footwork as we listen to your instruction. Above that, there is the irritating advertising window popping intermittently which in turns block your feet and footwork! So, you need to replay and realize what's gone terribly wrong to your excellent instruction resulting from these flaws, unfortunately. Best to record along Mp4 speed coz yr footwork & count is not well tuned to the speed the viewer gets to see. I look forward to your revamp and perhaps, better through YouTube instead. I'm at Silver currently. :)

In this clip, now we need to talk about the upper body, that also is a very much involved in the dancing. Actually it's called the frame. When we frame we mean that we're going to take our ribcage up, we're going to tuck in, and now our shoulders and our shoulder blades are also involved, making a frame. Ladies, we're going to have our left hand on the shoulders man, and our palm is going to connect with the leaders, okay. And we're going to have one body. Why this is called the frame? Because we become one full body, one piece when we want to dance. So when we move forward, we're there, and when we move back. And if the leader wants us to move sidewards, back and forth, he's also able because of the frame of the dancing.
