forward shoulder roll help
is there a lesson on the forward shoulder roll? I know there's a back roll, but didn't see a forward.
my problem with it is I end up at a 90 degree angle from where i start, so i'm not going straight forward. It probably has to do with arm placement now that i think about it….hm. any tips, or is there a tutorial on it that i missed?

It takes a little while to figure it out (at least it did for me!), but it's actually quite stable. Just like the backwards roll, it might take a bit of work to make sure you're on your shoulder correctly and not hurting your neck, but you'll get it!

As for the back roll, I don't know what tutorials Veena has in her lessons, but have you seen the variation at 30s? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onetq7MzYQs

ooh, yeah, i like those scissor legs! takes so much control, and you know if you're not controlled enough due to the CLUNK of shoes on the floor, eh?!

My key to getting the scissors legs was really supporting myself with the bent arm. With the normal back roll I sort of let the arm follow my legs, but in this variation I bent the arm right away and really have to hold myself with it to control the descent.
