That's a good analogy Charles.  Ingvild, extend that to include rocking
forward.  Yes, the head would move forward with the shoulders but it
wouldn't tilt - it would remain level.



Another way to think of this is Japanese bowing etiquette.  A higher
ranked Japanese wouldn't bow his head to an inferiorly ranked Japanese,
he would bow his torso but continue to look at the other person,
keeping his head more level.  The other Japanese would bow his head
down, averting his eyes.

        Think of a ballet dancer staring forward in space.  The
head does not move, the body twists.  That's what i showed with Carmen
Miranda.

           How can you tilt your torso
without also moving your head? Just moving the stomach /chest back and
forth? To move the shoulders without the head feels more like moving
the head in the opposite direction ...
