28.06.15. Dancing in the close close position.

Juni 28, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

Dancing in the close close position is one of the best things you can do while enjoying zouk.

For the ladies:

  • Think you want to go through the guy for keeping the contact
  • Your right arm is over his right shoulder.
  • Going backwards do big steps but stay with the tension to the front.

For the guys:

  • Place the right side of your upper body in the middle of her upper body.
  • You want to hug the lady, you try to separate your shoulder blades.
  • Your right arm goes to her right shoulder blade. Hug the lady!
  • Going backwards do big steps.
  • Relax your upper body and don’t do any disturbing movements.

Have fun!

24.06.15. Beginners 2 / Intermediate. Olé with elastic and cambré.

Juni 25, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

Today we repeat the olé step and after that we did one elastic with a cambré. Here you can see the olé step:

http://zouk-germany.com/17-06-15-beginners-intermediate-ole-step/

If the lady should do the bumerangue, you will get her with the left hand and lead her around of you three steps, before you lead the preparation for the elastic and the cambré with your body. This part is very important: for leading the lady with your body you will bend your upper body to the left for the elastic, to the right for the cambré and to the left again for the wave. If the lady is doing the wave backwards, you will put your right foot between both feet of the lady before you go into the basic step.

Ladies: for the elastic you are going first with your hips and then with your chest. Your head is the last part of your body going to the front. Do a good preparation for the cambré putting your pelvis to the front and contracting your center, then you go backwards but your knees are going to the front. For the wave you go first with your head and after that with your body.

23.06.15. Our video number 200 on the youtube channel! Intermediate. Yoyo with head.

Juni 23, 2015 / / 0 Comments

200 is a really nice number and we want to thank you for your support. We will work hard to give you every week new videos and for making possible the biggest website for learning brazilian zouk.

Today we will do a head movement at the end of the yoyo.

For guys: ending the yoyo you want the lady goes the first step to the front and with the head to the left side. With your right under arm you will push the lady to the front. For the head movement you will bend a little bit back and bring your right hand up. You will bring the lady another step into the turn and the right hand stays up. If the lady is going the third step you will bring the hand down. In this way the lady starts moving the head to the front. If the head of the lady is in the front, guys, you will give some energy for the ladies to bring the head up.

For the ladies: you will feel your right shoulder goes up and you let your head fall to the left. The first and the second step your head stays to the left. During the third step your head is going to the front. if you paint half of circle to the front remember to put your chest in for not to lose your balance to the front. For some ladystyling bringing your head up, watch the video.

22.06.15. Intermediate. Pizza turn to the right and lateral behind the lady.

Juni 23, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

Another pizza turn! Guys today you will do the pizza turn to the right if your lady is doing the lateral to the left. While doing it you will “cross the street”. After that you will lead the next turn of the lady, crossing with your left, turning to the right and changing the hands. For the ladies: you stay always on your line and you go the third step on the spot.

For the elastic: ladies you go first with your hips, then with your chest and at the end with your head. Guys: your left hand on the lower back of the lady leads the elastic from down to the top. You will go with your left hip to the left, leading the elastic with your body. Let the lady transfer the weight back on her left and bring the lady up (with your upper body and with your right hand). Ladies, your left hand needs to be connected with your shoulder for feeling the leading and going up.

At the end of the step, bringing the lady to you, guys, your elbows are outside, her elbows are inside. With your hands on her shoulder blade you will lead carefully the cambré. Lady, don’t forget to bring your pelvis to the front, contract your center and bring your chest is for the cambré. Guys, go a little bit back if you want to lead the wave because the lady needs some space.

Have fun!

21.06.15. Dancing with control and not like a robot.

Juni 22, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

Control your moves while dancing is very important because we are not robots! If you want to play with your partner or with the music you have to control every single step.

This kind of exercises helps you to improve the quality of your dance.

We repeat today this step also:

17.06.15. Beginners / Intermediate. The olé step.

Juni 22, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

Today we learn the “olé” step.

For the ladies. First you turn on the line to the left and then you will paint a half of circle with your right foot on the floor. Your right hand is painting also half of circle over the foot. Then you will go two steps backwards and the last thing to do is the bumerangue step.

For the guys. If the lady is painting half of circle with the right to the front, it’s very nice if you are painting a half of circle with the left backwards.

There are two difficult points in this step for the leading:

1. To lead the circle of the lady. You have to paint the circle with your leading while the lady is going to the front (Watch the video).

2. For the leading of the bumerangue you have to turn your body to the left (in this way the lady will go into the line) and to go backwards (and the lady will have the energy for the turn).

Have fun!

16.06.15. Musicality. Some moves on the spot to play with the music

Juni 17, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

We have a nice musicality zouk course in Bremen every Tuesday. Today we put some moves we did on the spot into the music. The beat is just one part of the music, a normal song has a lot of information, like the melody or the voice. In the musicality course we try to make the music visible. And singing can help you :-)  Watch 03:48 to see an example to put this moves into the music.

Have fun!
