ATTITUDE POSES 9
-q 2.5

Step 3: Develop two "passing position" breakdowns, ~ between G) and @ , and
25 between @ and(!), making a 32-frame cycle. In a strut such as this, the passing
position is better as a "down" (instead of an "up" for a normal walk) because it
emphasizes the slide up into the exaggerated, chest-out pride. Also note that opposite
things happen on the breakdown: head down instead of up, back convex instead
of concave, wrists "broken" in the opposite direction as the arms move through.
When charted as above, the spacing is much wider through the passing position,
and more cushioned toward the keys CD and @ , meaning you 'll read his "attitude"
much more strongly, because more screen time is being spent around the
idea poses.
