Down shoulders with closere shoulder blades ?

Yichin. Closer shoulder blades will result in the chest being forward and the back becoming small. This is exactly what you don't want. Besides that your elbows will become level with the back part of your body. You don't want that either. All of the above applies to the man as well. An easy way to find the correct poise for both the man and the lady. Is to place your hands on your chest at shoulder level fingers touching. If you check you will find that both elbows are level with the front of your ribcage. Simply open both arms to a right angle. As a lady you wont assume this position whilst standing apart from the man. The man can, inviting the lady to place her left armpit onto the man's extended arm at the wrist. He will draw the arm back to its right angled position Make a right side to right side contact depending on the length of both sets of limbs. Look left and shape, shaping from above the ribs. Don't squash your left side. Keep both sides stretched. Must go , the the F. A. Soccer Cup Final is just starting. Best wishes

Don, I am overjoyed at all while learning I should not try such wild shoulder blades position. Wonderful.

Yichen. I should have put last time. In the Standard Style across the back should be more like a moulded coat hanger and not a straight coat-hanger. This doesn't mean the head is forward of the body. And the spine is still straight. To me it always feels that I am standing in a frame keeping thoes elbows level with the front of my ribcage. Partner exactly the same with a right side to right side connection of the body without being too tight.

Yes. Thanks . Don.
