02.06.15. Beginners. Combination: The little sun + snake.

Juni 3, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

We did today the little sun (the bumerangue variation with both hands up painting a circle). After the bumerangue step we want to go one more step (backwards for the guys and forward for the lady) and then we will go into the snake.

For the snake, guys, first you lead the lady to the front and if you see, she is going forward, then you pull with your left hand down and you bring your right hand to her left shoulder. To open a window you put your right elbow up, so the lady has enough space for the snake. You need to go one step to the left to feel comfortable.

Ladies, if you go into the snake you will go with your shoulders and with your head. If you goes with the head up, you will go with your chest to the front.

While opening please ladies, look before you stretch your arm, because at the party there are always a lot of people and you can hit somebody.

02.06.15. Advanced. Titanic step with a new beginning and a beautiful turn on one leg.

What a  nice class today!

The new beginning for the titanic step

Guys, during the lateral you change the hand (right up, left down) and you bring the lady into the line to the left. Your left hand will press to the left and up against the right arm of the lady. The right hand press down and let after that the right hand of tha lady free. In this way the right hand of the lady is going up like in a explosion. After that bring the lady to the right and then you can start the titanic step.

Ladies, go to the side with your hips. This step is about doing a wave to the right from the hips. Go first with the right hip to the side and stretch your upper body (right side). At the end your head goes to the right because the guy is bringing your left shoulder up.

Turn on one leg from titanic

Guys, in this step you have to control the center of the lady for help her to keep the balance. You want the lady just transfers the weight to the left and then you turn her on her left leg. Watch the video to understand how your right hand is leading up and to the right and how the left hand has to press to the left. After that you will lead the wave to the side from the hips like as before.

Ladies, keep the energy while turning. Go up with your body and try to stretch to the ceiling. There are two energies: one energy up and one energy down. They will help you to feel your axis. After if you go into the wave go first with your right foot and after that with your hips.

01.06.15. Beginners. Combination lateral-left turn-lateral with ladystyling

Juni 3, 2015 / / 0 Comments

 

Ladies, sometimes the guys are leading the combination lateral-left turn-lateral and you have your left hand free. What to do? Sometimes you can do some ladystyling, some special moves for you to dance more beautiful without disturbing the leading of the guy.

Today we will bring the left hand up on 1 while dancing the lateral step and then over your head. The idea is to comb your hair to the other side but we want you to use your eyes for looking to the guy with intention.

Have fun!

01.06.15. Beginners. The door.

Juni 3, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Today we learn a very popular step. We call it the door because we are going like through a door, first the lady and after that the guy.

For the ladies. You are doing your steps always on the line. Two steps on the line and on the third step you come back (like lateral). Try to turn your upper body always for your partner.

For the guys. You lead a left turn with your right hand up and your left hand down. After the turn you bring the right hand down (you have to close the door) before you go into the next turn. For the next turn open the door (right hand goes up on 1) change the position of the hands (right goes down and left goes up) while turning to the right and close the door again. At last you will lead a normal left turn and get the lady with your right hand on 2.

Have fun!
