Hi everybody!

Today we want to do the cross step behind the lady. At the beginning we are using the step of the last lesson (elastic and be behind the lady).

From this position you can do the basic step.

Ladies: if you go to the front, keep the contact with the guy on your back and stretch the legs if you are doing your steps.

Guys: you are not exactly behind the woman, you are to the left side, you feel the left shoulder blade of the lady in the middle of your chest. Strech your legs if you are going backwards for the lady not to hit you if she is going backwards.

For the cross step. Guys: The lady needs some space to go her steps. You go out of her line, your first step with the left go diagonal to the side. With the right you open, so there is some space for the lady to cross in front of you.

Ladies: Now your focus is to the front. Look for the contact with the guy pressing down with your arms (the contact is down).

Guys: for lead your partner you have to understand how to turn her upper body. If the lady is crossing with the right, her upper body needs to be to the right. If she is crossing with the left, her upper body needs to be to the left. Today for finishing the move we will do just one basic step with the left backwards, we block the lady for not to turn her upper body and if she is going to the front we turn her to the right, and now after a left turn we can do the basic step.
