28.04.15. Beginners 1. Combination: Bumerangue reverse + change the hands + elastic

April 28, 2015 / / 0 Comments

A nice combination for the beginners.

For the guys: After the first turn of the lady you want to get both hands. Then you are in front of the lady a little bit to the left and you bring her to you with both hands up. With your right arm push the lady softly for her to go backwards and you slide your right hand to get her right hand. Then you lead the elastic.

For the ladies: Think about doing your steps on the line. For the elastic try to go first with your hips and after that with your chest.

See you next week!

Hi everybody!

Today we repeated the pendulum.

27.04.15. Beginners 2. Titanic.

April 28, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Before we speak about the step, there was one important thing in today’s lesson: If there is no beat in the music, please don’t do your steps like with the beat. PLay with your partner, go in slow motion, do romantic moves, but don’t do 1-2-3, 1-2-3.

For the Titanic: Guys bring the ladies to the front into the line and turn her by 1 and then you change the hand. With your left hand you will get the left arm of the lady to stop her. Ladies: Go a little bit down on your right knee if the guy is stopping you.

After the titanic the guys can lead the bumerangue, and it could be the end of the move. But today we did something special. We will turn the lady and don’t let the hand free. After the turn, guys, you block the lady with the right hand on her hips and with your left under arm you lead the elastic.

Ladies: For the elastic you have a new contact on your back and you have to pay attention. Go with the leading of the guy.

Have fun!

26.04.15. Intermediate. Snake after a turn on the line with head movement.

April 26, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

Here you can see the step we did last week:

http://zouk-germany.com/19-04-15-intermediate-two-turns-line-head-movements/

Today guys, if you are behind of the lady you want to lead a snake. When the lady is turning on the line doing a head movement you will put your left hand under her left arm. In this way you control better the shoulder line of the lady. You will paint a circle and lead the snake to the front. remember to bring the lady back. After that you will open to the left.

For the ladies: While doing the head movements think on stretch the opposite side. Transfer your weight with the head movement. for the snake you hae your right free, so go with your right leg to the front.

Have fun!

26.04.15. Intermediate. The wave reverse or bodyroll from the hips.

April 26, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

We will do todaay the bodyroll (the wave) reverse.

Do the normal wave and at the end you have to sit bringing your pelvis back. Then you start a wave to the front from the hips. Your feet are looking outside for giving you more stability and your legs are doing some pressure inside.

Guys, if you are leading the lady think about both hands. You start the move with the right hand but at the end you bring the lady up with your right hand. Try to lead fluent.

For the ladies: Your arm is free and it’s not a dead fish :-) You can comb your hair or just hold your arm with some tension.

Have fun!

22.04.15. Beginners. Lateral crossing backwards for both.

April 23, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

Today we learn a very easy move for beginners to give you more possibilities with the basics.

Guys: If you are leading the lady think first, what you want that the lady do. Yoou want that the lady cross backwards. Play with your upperbody to give her the idea of crossing backwards. If she crosses with the left you bring your upper body to the left and if she crosses with the the right, you turn your upper body to the right.

Ladies: Try to focus with your upper body to your partner. If your partner is turning you, come back to him and do your third step on the spot.

Have fun!

21.04.15. Beginners 1. Long right turn on the line (Bumerangue reverse) from basic step. Two variations.

April 21, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

We are dancing today two variations of the bumerangue reverse from the basic step.

1. Bumerangue reverse from the basic step to the right.

In this variation guys we will bring the lady to our right side. We go backwards and open our body to the right. Our left hand is up and our right hand will invite the lady into the turn. For the lady we are doing three steps on the line and after that the basic step backwards. Put your left under arm in front of your chest.

2. Bumerangue reverse from the basic step to the left.

Guys, we will let the lady go backwards into her basic step but we will do our steps on the spot. Then we pull the lady into the line and we turn her. You have the feeling, you are turning the lady two times. For the ladies, we are doing the same steps as before. Try to focus on your partner while turning.
