2. how do you fix it?

Afa tcc v dancing, they're totally different, and so is walking.
Bao wrote:It's understandable. Tai Chi movement is whole body coordination, everything moves together. Most dance demands separation of different body parts and arranging them while moving. Tai Chi has a different body skill compared to most arts of body movement. The coordination is different and doesn't necessarily translate into other types of arranging body movement. In fact, if you only practice tai chi for a long time, it could make some types of body coordination harder. I've BTDT...
everything wrote:agree with Bao, but doing tai chi more than other things is maybe just one of my "excuses" lol. think i have trouble for various reasons such as too embarrassed to try/learn as a kid, lack of practice, not-great ROM of various joints, not-great hand-eye coordination (my footwork is slightly better from playing football/soccer), the neuro-muscular control of one joint does this one thing while the other does this other, seemingly unrelated thing isn't there, and so on.
was listening to or watching some music performance the other day while doing a little tai chi, so I wanted to move on beat and in a more "stylistic" way, in a "less tai chi" way. this is just for solo moves in a "box" or maybe the popular line dances "everyone" seems to know. partner dances where the lead holds a "frame" ... too difficult to contemplate although the holding frame thing also sounds slightly easier at the same time.
