In General The difference between a beginner and intermediate Entry Tools Rate This Entry
  #7 New 10-01-2003 03:55 PM
Beginner uses concrete, stiff associations.
Intermediate student uses abstract visualizations, concerned not so much with what they see, but with what they feel.

Beginner thinks "Ok, I step here and move my arm here..."

Intermediate student thinks "In a natural, free motion, the energy will find it's way... like a powerful ocean wave" <--- only less FRUITY

All the little resistance tricks that the uke may put up will be overcome be the completely free, all enveloping movement. Like water goes around the rocks.
