What would happen if she worked, too, against the waddle? Saw a female singer recently in a long gown. It was cut somewhat off the floor in front, to allow walking without stepping on the hem, I suppose. Her step involved putting, for example, the left foot ahead of and four to six inches to the right of the right foot, but pointing slightly left. It was a perfect stride for a slow version of "Scarborough Fair" In addition to singing, she had to learn to walk funny--so to speak--in a fashion that made it both graceful and natural. There's a lot to showbiz. Now, suppose a ballerina could take some modified version of that for walking down the street.... BTW. That was on Youtube. Look for "Celtic Woman" videos.

Your description of the woman you saw, fits my friend to a "T". She is lovely, and I wish that I had been fortunate enough to have been in her circle of friends back then, who were able to see her dance.
