Concepts in Need of Work
Also sometimes referred to as "critical timing".
The idea behind the rolling count is that between the beats (1-2-3-4...) we can imagine smaller "subcounts" that are typically called "and" and "ah", and associate certain actions with them (see below).
The counting then becomes 1-and-ah-2-and-ah-3-and-ah-4...
The exact timing of "and" and "ah" depends on the music...

A drill to train being comfortable with rhythmic variations
Learned from: Ben McHenry & Cameo McHenry who credited Mario Rubao
- Pick a 2 count of a pattern (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8)
- pick aRhythm
- hold
- single
- double
- triple
- delayed double
- quad
- on all the instances of that 2 count - do that rhythm
- can do that as a task for a few dances at a social/at practice/etc
examplesExamples- triple on first 2 counts
- 3&4 in single rhythm (tap step)

Are they washable
Other Taygra models (e.g. Corrida) boast being machine-washable, the Urbano didn't seem to like being washed as much (it seems there is a paper involved in construction somewhere, & I found chunks of paper falling out of them after washing them). They didn't fall apart, but clearly some structure within them didn't survive being washed.
Pitch is an important part of biomechanics of movement that is often neglected. Myles and Tessa emphasize it a lot
