13.09.15. Intermediate. Left turn on the line with both arms and pseudo ioio.

Hi!

Important for the guys:

  • Try to understand the steps of the lady, in this way you will block the lady at the right time.
  • Looking in one direction other in other direction will help you to do the move.

Important for the ladies:

  • Focus on your partner.
  • If the guy relaxes the arms to do some move remember to relax your arms too.

Have fun!

09.09.15. Intermediate. Combination: Changing the hands and turning the lady behind of us.

Some important things about this step.

Guys: Pay attention about the grip of your hands and learn when do you have to look to the right or to the left, because in this way you will move your upper body too and it’s very helpful for the leading.

Ladies: The ladystyling at the end it’s very nice. Take care about your elbows and bring them up only if you know that your partner is far away from you and you cannot hit him.

Have fun!

08.09.15. Intermediate. Elastic going backwards from the lateral step.

Elastic going backwards is a very important leading for the guys. You need to learn this step first from the basic step. At the beginning the lady goes back with the foot but she doesn’t transfer the weight to the left. You will paint a circle after that with your leading for the lady to do the elastic (watch the video, this explanation is important for you).

To do this move from the lateral step is very similar. The last variation changing the hands is a little bit different because you want that the lady goes a little bit up on 2.

The next week we will continue with this step.

Big hug from Bremen,

08.09.15. Beginners. Cool move after turning the lady in.

Hi!

This step is really cool for the beginners.

For the ladies: Wacht the ladystyling of Claudia while opening if you are coming back.

For the guys: The leading has to be very clear. First to the front and then you block the lady with your left hand while crossing backwards with the left foot. After that bring the lady back with left hand and you let her way free. At the end push with the right hand for her to open to her right and block her with the left again (now on the right side of her body).

Have fun!

06.09.15. Beginners. Ioio with a turn to the right for the guys

Hi!

The guys have always the possibility to do the ioio more interesting.

  • Ladies: The last turn is very important, you have to learn to close your legs while turning.
  • Remember guys: First lead the lady before you turn and while turning focus on the lady.

Have fun!

06.09.15. Intermediate. Turn for the guys while dancing the bumerangue. Two new variations.

Hi!

The guys can turn to the left while dancing the bumerangue step and we want to show you two new possibilities. Both have the same steps but the leading and the visual appearance are differents.

  • For the first, the guy leads the turn of the lady with the right hand alone.
  • For the second, the guy used both hands and the left hand will go over the head of the lady.
  • For the ladies, remember to close your legs while dancing the step.

Have fun!

02.09.15. Intermediate. The carousel step.

Hi!

I’m sure, you’ve seen this step in a lot of shows and it’s very easy to do. Imagine while doing it, you’re dancing for an audience, you try to put yoour attention to the front.

Have fun!

02.09.15. Intermediate. Breaking the time in the lateral step.

Hi!

Some things about this step:

1. It’s about playing with the upper body. Both are trying to keep the shoulders parallel to the shoulders of the partner.

2. We are doing the first step in slow motion, for the lady to understand, that something special is coming.

3. Guys, you have to learn to lead the torsion on the body of the lady. If she is going with the left foot, the torsion for her is to the left. If she is going with the right foot, the torsion for her is to the right (going like a cat).

4. Guys, you can play with the music and the speed of the step.

Have fun!
