[Callers] What can you do.....?

[joe micheals]

I’m joining the conversation late here so if already discussed forgive me…but when dancers fight momentum.  Like turning over their left shoulder on a Petronella.  I try to point out how joyful it is for me going over the right shoulder but i wonder if it is nature VS nurture when I see it persist…thoughts?
