Two questions ;
1. The maya movement I understand was named after a dancer who did it flat footed in the 1960's, what was the dancer's name ?
2. Of the Maya movement, I am trying to remember the movement after having learned it a few years ago and I am remembering the letter 'm' in that the movement starts from the centre of the 'm' and consists of; from the centre, push the left hip out then down and from the new centre then push the right hip out then down, ideally flat footed, although I believe it is permitted for novices to lift the heel slightly in executing the movement am I correct in my memory ?
I learn by picturing the movement in patterns and shapes and I am trying at the moment to picture the Maya as it has popped up in class.
Memory seems to suggest the maya is opposite to 'fish hips' in a way, again from memory, but t's been a long time.
