d record, following that, two weeks later. i want you to see part of what i practiced. i'm going to jump forward here. this is the instructor that alicia and i chose for the male lead. his name is gabriel misse. one of the most elegant dancers of his generation, known for his long steps, and his tempo changes and his pivots. alicia, in her own right, very famous. so i think you'll agree, they look quite good together. now what i like about this video is it's actually a video of the first time they ever danced together because of his lead. he had a strong lead. he didn't lead with his chest, which requires you lean forward. i couldn't develop the attributes in my toes, the strength in my feet, to do that. so he uses a lead that focuses on his shoulder girdle and his arm. so he can lift the woman to break her, for example. that's just one benefit of that. so then we broke it down. this would be an example of one pivot. this is a back step pivot. there are many different types. i have hundreds of hours of footage -- all categorized, much like george carlin categorized his comedy. so using my arch-nemesis, spanish, no less, to learn tango.
so fear is your friend. fear is an indicator. sometimes it shows you what you shouldn't do. more often than not it shows you exactly what you should do. and the best results that i've had in life, the most enjoyable times, have all been from asking a simple question: what's the worst that can happen? especially with fears you gained when you were a child. take the analytical frameworks, the capabilities you have, apply them to old fears. apply them to very big dreams.
and when i think of what i fear now, it's very simple. when i imagine my life, what my life would have been like without the educational opportunities that i had, it makes me wonder. i've spent the last two years trying to deconstruct the american public school system, to either fix it or replace it. and have done experiments with about 50,000 students thus far -- built, i'd say, about a half dozen schools, my readers, at this point. and if any of you are interested in that, i would love to speak with you. i know nothing. i'm a beginner. but i ask a lot of questions, and i would love your advice. thank you very much.
