Have fun and we see us next week!
You can dance the prison step from one side to the other. It’s the same if you have danced the prison step to the left or to the right.
Guys, the first two steps you will turn the lady. The third step you will change the hands: one hand goes down and the other goes up. The forth step you want to keep the contact between your hand and her hips, you are holding just the fingers of the lady to have more space. Then you open with the fifth step.
Ladies, you are dancing this step like for an audience: you turn on the line and at the end your body is to the front, not to your partner.
You can end this step this the bumerangue (reverse if you start on the left side and normal bumerangue if you start on th eright side).
See you next week!
Hi everybody!
Today we have a very popular step for the zouk world. We want to do turns on the line with head movements after the titanic step.
For the titanic, guys, you have to go backwards, bring the lady first to the front and if the lady is transfering the weight to the right you have to lead the turn. Then you change the hand and you have to be ready, because you need to get the left arm of the lady with your left hand to stop the lady. You are going just two steps and at the end, if you are landing with your partner on your right foot, you change the position of your hands like in the video to bring the head of the lady to the side. For the head movements try to support the lady the hole time with your left hand and with the right hand you lead the head movement. You are going with your partner.
For the ladies. When you feel that your partner plays with your shoulder line you have to go with the head to the side and not to focus with the eyes, relax your neck. For the turns on the line, the first step you just go (don’t move your head), the second step you bring your head to the front and the third step you open to the side. The second step is very important for you: put your chest in, go a little bit on your knees and your head is over your center. Don’t think about just going with the head to the front because in this way you will loose your balance. On the video you have a easy possibility for your ladystyling.
At the end you can do the bumerangue step.
Have fun!
Hi!
A really nice combination because has a lot of zouk elements.
Have fun!
Hi!
Head movements from the titanic step are a really popular combination in the zouk world.
Ladies, the first step your head stays to the side, the second step your head goes to the front (your chest is in and you contract your center) and the third step you open. Guys, support the lady while leading the turn on the line with the head.
The new thing we did today was to lead more than one turn on the line to the right. Important for the guys:
For the ladies, think about closing your ribs. Don’t think about bringing your head to the front, think about making some space for your head, so you are bringing your chest in.
At the end, the guys need to transfer the weight to the left before leading the lateral step.
Have fun!
Hi everybody!
We did today some exercises to improve our leading and follower skills:
Have fun!
Hi everybody!
It’s very easy to go from the titanic into the prison step. If you are on the titanic with the weight on your right, guys, you can go to the left and turn the lady on the line with your left hand up and your right hand down. In order to have enough space you will get just the fingertips of the lady and put the rest of your hand on her waist.
For the ladies: in the titanic step and in the prison step your body stays to the front like in a stage for an audience. Do your steps on the line and you can go always a little bit on your knees with your last foot (in the titanic with the right and in the prison step with the left).
As a variation, guys, you can turn the lady as much as you want whle leading the prison step. Just continue turning with the hand up and you sllide the hole time the hand down keeping the contact with the lady.
Hi!
Ladies: Playing in circles with the upper body is always a chance to stretch your body. We are talking about the opposite side.
Today we do the preparation for the cambré but we want to lead a circle with the upper body. After that to go around of the lady. For the beginning of the circle, guys, you lead it with your upper body and you play with the shoulders of the lady. Ladies, go with your right foot to the right if the guy is leading your shoulders in this direction.
Stretch! For the circles with the upper body you have to grow, to be big, to stretch your body.
At the end the lady is doing a turn on the line with head. Guys, the first step you are bringing the lady to the front. Ladies, you stay with your head to the left side. The second step guys you lead the head to the front and let your left hand slide till you have the right hand of the lady and you bring her up on 3. Ladies, if your head is to the front, your chest is in and your head is over your center. If you go with the head to the front you will lose your balance.
Have fun!
We did this step at the beginning of the intermediate course.

Ladies
