Zouk made in Germany

Hi!

A really nice combination to give you some new ideas while dancing.

Guys: I have a good advice for you. Sometimes it’s better, not to think what you are suppose to do, but think about, what you want, the lady do. Watch the video and if you practise at home try to lead every single step of your partner.

Ladies: Don’t go your steps alone. Think about the connection with your partner. In most of the steps, first goes your arm and after that your upper body is following.

Have fun!

Hi!

Today’s step: easy and beautiful.

For the ladies:

• Keep the connection between your right hand and your upper body, you need some tension in your arm.
• Think about the connection between your head and your chest: If your head goes to the front, your chest goes in. If your head goes back, your chest goes to the front.
• Keep the contact with the hand of the guy in your shoulder blade.
• Watch the video for the chassé steps.

For the guys:

• The third step you will cross forwards and the lady will cross backwards. Lead the upper body of the lady for her to cross.
• You will lead a lot with your upper body. Upper body to the left for the elastic. Upper body to the right for the cambré. Upper body to the left for the chassé. Again to the right for the cambré. To the left for the snake.
• Watch the video to see the chassé steps.
• While doing the chassé, you bringt your upper body and the lady to the left and at the same time you close with your left foot.
• For the end, while the lady is transfering the weight on her left, you will go with your right foot between her both feet and then you go into the basic step.
• Think about your expression! Watch the end of the video.

Hi!

Some important things about the step.

For the ladies:

• You will turn on the line.
• Keep the contact with the guy on your arm and on your back.
• Your body has a good posture (you are straight) and you will land on your left knee (go a little bit down).
• If the guy brings you back connect your right hand with your upper body.

For the guys:

• After the lateral you will be in front of the lady but remember, you don’t cross the street, she needs the street free.
• You bring the lady to the front because you go first backwards with your right. Just pulling with the arm it’s not a good leading, learn to lead with yor body.
• Be careful with the contact with the lady and have a good posture in your body (don’t bend backwards).
• Watch the video to see how to play in this position with your upper body.

Have fun!

Hi!

With this step you can have a nice effect in the music.

Turn on the line.

Guys: Pull the lady into the line and turn her with the left hand up and the right hand down.

Ladies: Do your steps on the line and try to close your legs.

Preparation for the chassé.

Guys: You are leading a elastic with your body, going first with the hips to the side. Your right under arm is in the low back of the lady and it will go little by little up. Ladies, you go first with your hips, then with your chest and at last with your head.

Chassé.

Guys and ladies: wacht the video to see the chassé steps. Guys: In the middle of the preparation you will go faster and with more energy (watch the video) for the lady to understand, that something special is coming. You are close to the lady and you are bringing the lady with you. For the ladies: if you go up, don’t bring your head back but focus on your partner.
