So you don't agree with Geoffrey Hearn the author of the Choreographer and a trainer of world champions. There were people who did not agree that the world was flat and perhaps still do.

If you want to compare to flat earther's, I'll point out the physics can easily demonstrate the flaws in both propositions: flat earth, and utility of pulling onto a foot that is in advance of your body.

Guys - break it up!!
I use text books a lot (i'm a professional educator but in a different area). And text books are far from perfect. A lot of them have very poor methods and ideas in them - they're written by people just like you and I - and the dance technique books are really no different.
Very good teacher with the technique (or reference) book as a back-up, and keeping up with best practice. That's the only way really

The dance technique classic references are more accurate than 99% of teachers teaching today. But it is true that one needs a lot of expertise to read them at this level of detail.
