Thanks for the detail on the specific lifts. It was beyond my scope to try to put it in words for each lift.  Your descriptions are much more concise than mine would have ever been.

What I think is most important is the coordination between the partners, which you put into words quite well. One dancer, male or female, depends on structure and control; but two need that synergism to coordinate efforts.

How long were you in partnering classes before you felt confident?  I only felt confident with one or two different ballerinas, and never achieved total confidence in partnering.
