Last night, my carpool buddy told me that at the Philadelphia #Tango Festival, a local professional was 🤯 by Martín & Maurizio’s lesson on pivoting bc they generate it at the hip. That’s how Maurizio does 1080° pivots.

Maurizio has tried to teach it to me before, but he’s the only teacher I’ve heard teach it that way.

Today in #Pilates, the instructor told me “pivots come from the hips” before hip exercises. I told her the above. “It’s a big joint. It has more power. Why wouldn’t you?”
