+Peter Beyer I believe exercises with physiotherapy rollers are good ones. Thanks for sharing.

+Peter Beyer thanks for comment. Any stretcing exercise should be done carefully at first better to do less amount then overdue. Hope your torso now recovered well.

Thanks nada for appreciating my dance videos. It is difficult to tell on what exactly you shoud focus to develop better shoulder position and head movement withot seeing your dance movement. But generally do shoulder blade exercises with arms down, then do then with arms up, and then control shoulders when you transfer weight from foot to foot / or when dancing basic steps. For head movement in Tango do particular movement with count without steps slowly, then with steps and slowly, then with steps and in normal speed, then to music. Hope it helps!

Thank you! I will do that.

+Ballroom Beauty, thanks for question. I would suggest two guidelines. First you try to match your shoulder height (you can measure it standing side by side). This you do by bending knees in different degree. Second you check if it's possible to move together in contact with this knee bending degrees in starting position. If it's not you adjust knees and sacrifice shoulder height. Hope it helps!

Thanks Larry for idea for our future video. Cannot promise, but hope to make such video!

Thanks Shigeru Ashida for interesting question. Preparatory step with left foot forward for Man is good way to start Natural Figure. I usually do more simple way of preparing body without extra step. In preparation (with or without step) we use rotation to left and then start rotation to right into Natural Figure. When we think about leading of course Lady feels Man's leading mostly from Man's spine, body center (right front ribs) and arms and hands. But I would argue that action starts from our feet. There for sure are more complicated theories - like: movements starts ir upper part of body then goes down into feet and to the floor and then energy returns from fee again upwards. Hope it helps.

@@EgilsSmagris You gave me a very useful suggestion; actually, this question has made me open-questioned. I do thank you.

Alexis, thanks for your question. Idea is to use correct muscles which means inner body muscles. Then outer muscles is possible to relax. Try to do exercises slowly and with minimal outer tension. As you change core muscles to maintain vertical posture, you will achieve possibility to relax other (outside) muscles. Hope it helps

Egils Smagris Thank you very much, this is very helpful, I'll work on that and hopefully in time I can train my outer muscles to relax :)
