I recently had the privilege of taking a private lesson with Magna. Just as I had hoped, it was a was a wonderful learning experience. I went into the lesson wanting to work on spinning technique (obviously) and open footwork if there was time. As far as the instruction on spinning was concerned, I now have an even better understanding of why Magna is referred to as the "Spinning Queen." She gave me such a clear explanation of everything that went into executing spins correctly and consistently. And what I found most helpful was not only how incredibly knowledgeable she is about the body mechanics behind spinning, but how she was able to translate it in a way that allowed me to put the concepts into action. And that goes for her overall teaching style. We were also able to do a quick exercise with footwork and musicality, but even this gave me a new and helpful perspective on how to approach the music I dance to.Of course it will take a good amount of time and practice for me to improve my spinning, but I know that I left our lesson with a stronger understanding of how I can begin to train my body and muscles to properly execute my spins with precision and grace. And I can't wait!
