15.09.15. Intermediate. Elastic going backwards and through the tunnel

Hi!

Here you can see the combination we did the last two weeks.

Have fun!

13.09.15. Intermediate. Turning the lady on the line like a DJ and cambré

Hi!

Important for the guys: Don’t be rude with your lady. Play with the contact (while watching the video try to understand how to stop the lady with the contact).

Important for the ladies:

  • Your head is going with your shoulders, following them.
  • While turning you have a contraction in your center. This contraction is the preparation for your cambré.

Have fun!

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,

Fernando

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!

01.09.15. Intermediate. Breaking the time after a left turn.

Hi!

Some important things for the step:

1. Guys: You have contact with your right hip and the left hip of the lady after the left turn.

2. You will think “first the lady, than me”.

3. Control the steps of the lady: Go just one step and then you help her to turn on one foot.

4. Ladies, you’re beautiful if you go to the front with presence.

5. Guys: For leading the waves, think on the second wave while doing the first. Have fun!

30.07.15. Intermediate. The feather with head movements

Hi!

The last weeks we were playing back on back (the feather and the feather changing the hands)and now we learn how to play with the head in this position. Important: The connection between the leading of the guy and the arms-shoulders-head of the lady. The head is always following the shoulders.

For the turn on the line with head remember: On 1 there is no head movement, on 2 your head goes to the front and on 3 you bring your head up.

Have fun!
