Hi!

Good dancers can do one thing really good: the basic step. That’s the reason we spent today some minutes improving our basic step:

And we repeat the turn on the spot together:

29.09.15. Beginners / Intermediate. Combination: Pseudo-ioio and ping pong.

Hi!

This combination rocks!

We start with the pseudo-ioio and continue dancing the ping pong with a turn for the guys. It’s very important to have a clear direction for the steps, in this way you will dance the combination clean.

Have fun!

Have fun!

27.09.15. Beginners. Ping pong from the basic step.

September 28, 2015 / Fernando / 0 Comments

Hi!

The ping pong is very typical zouk step. Do the first variation to feel the flow and after that try the second one.

Have fun!

27.09.15. Intermediate. Combination: Pseudo-elastic, bringing the lady around of you and the thrower.

September 28, 2015 / Fernando / 0 Comments

A nice combination putting a lot of elements togehter.

For the guys: Ask yourself, where is the tension of the leading? How to lead the pseudo elastic clearly? How to bring the lady around of me?

For the ladies: Feel the leading of your partner. Just because your partner has your hand up it doesn’t mean, he wants to turn you. Going around the guy is a nice opportunity to play with your hips.

For the last step: watch the video to see how many steps you have to go at the end.

Big hug,

Fernando

23.09.15. Beginners. Turning together 180° to the right.

September 28, 2015 / Fernando / 0 Comments

Today we learn a very useful step if you are dancing at the party, because you can go through the dance floor if the party is full.

The guys are thinking the hole time “first the lady, then me”. For the ladies: Don’t go alone to the front (stay back) and focus on your partner with your upper body.

23.09.15. Intermediate. Combination: Turn for the guys, spiral and flick.

September 28, 2015 / Fernando / 0 Comments

With this combination you will do the normal combination lateral / left turn more special (with a turn for the guys and a spiral for the lady) before you do the flick we did the last week.

For the turn of the guys: Guys, you turn, but you don’t forget to lead the lady the hole time.
For the spiral of the ladies: Think on stretching your upper body while doing the spiral, it’s about growing.

Here you have the explanation wih the flick:
