Yes, no reason to get the panties in a snit. It's just part of the deal. And looking at the pictures Ricardo occasionally posts, it's not a bad life at all...! I remember yesterday, we were practicing this footwork. Basically you stand there with knees slightly bent, and you bring up the foot, and then down...clomp! And then with that clomp you shift your weight and then do the same thing with other...clomp! Those are the ones. The twos are the same but you do two clomps with each foot. The triplets are the same but you do three. Here's the thing..the dancer's trying to explain the rhythm to the class. And the ones are like this (in 4/4)...rest clomp! rest clomp! rest clomp! rest clomp! The twos are rest clomp clomp, rest clomp clomp, rest clomp clomp (eighth note rest, eight note clomp, eighth note clomp, eighth note rest, repeat) The triplets are clomp clomp clomp, clomp clomp clomp (eighth note clomp, eigth note clomp, quarter note clomp, repeat). That probably looks a lot more complicated than it was. But the point was the terminology she used was very different from what a musician would use.
