Question about tilting or rocking

[Charles Butler]

I'd think of how it feels.  Is the head moving with the body like it's attached to central point of the spine, or is it moving in the opposite direction.  Since the shoulder goes down with the head tilt, perhaps you do need to show the head tilting downward in time with the shoulder movement.  I'd put the shoulders below the head line and above the hands so that you can show the shoulders going down as the head twists around.

Twisting I understand, rocking is a different matter ...

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 ...
