Go to www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11223473 to see an interesting study of how to throw shapes on the dance floor. Of course it is all to do with alignment and posture. Now I know what my dance teacher had been trying to tell me all those years ago. She was trained by a pupil of Laban’s and has written a book ‘A Time to Speak’ about her experiences in World War Two. Sadly Helen Lewis has passed on and will be missed.
