04.05.15. Intermediate. Combination: Titanic + bumerangue + elastic.

Mai 4, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

We were playing today with this combination.

For the first turn, guys, remember to lead the lady into the line (you go backwards and bring the lady with you) and after that lead the lady along the line, don’t stop leading. For the ladies, do your steps on the line and at the end you can go on your right knie.

You can go after that so many steps as you want, but for the bumerangue the lady has to start with the left foot.

Ladies: Turning back from bumerangue remember to close your legs while turning. After the turn you will feel the arm of the guy on your back and you have to press a little bit agains the arm to feel the leading. Guys: Give a impulse to the front and up for the elastic. The lady hast to transfer the weight to the front and back and to lead it is your mission :-)

Have fun!

03.05.15. Beginners 2. Circles with the chest on the spot and combination (lateral, left turn, circles with the chest on the spot and wave reverse).

Mai 3, 2015 / / 0 Comments

A very short explanation about how to do the circles with the chest from the basic step staying on the spot. Your body needs some exercise to do this moves fluent. Be patient. Control your shoulders and your hips, you want to separate the move of your chest.

After that we did today a combination:

For the combination there are some important things for the guys and the ladies.

For the guys: After the left turn you will bring the lady to your left with your right hand on the left side of her body. Block the lady going like in slow motion. Your leading is painting a circle but please don’t forget the leading of the chest of the lady to the front and back.

For the ladies: If the guy is playing with your chest, please, press a little bit (not much) against his hands. In other way you cannot feel the leading. If the guy is leading the wave, you have you right free and you go with your right to the front.

For the wave reverse you can check this link.

29.04.15. Intermediate. Table cambré from lateral.

April 29, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

There is some special moves that you can dance if the music gets slow and today’s step is very cool for it.

Guys:

You will do your steps on the line and you will go a little bit up on 2 for the lady to understand that she needs a preparation up. You will let the lady go down and try to put both arms to the side. You lead the lady slowly down and up. If she goes up, you will do that she transfer the weight to her left before you open to your left.

Ladies:

At the beginning you will go up. You are doing a table cambré, so you go with your botton to your heels, you look to the front and your chest is in. For going up, press with your hips up, open your chest and let the head go a little bit back.

Here you can see one more video with an explanation. Have fun!

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.

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!

20.04.15. Intermediate. Head movements walking backwards in the closed position and going around the lady.

April 21, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

We want today to do some head movements if the lady is walking backwards. We will end the move going around the lady.

For the guys:

  • The first leading for the head movement is very important. You go to the front a little bit in slow motion to give the lady some time to understand the new move. Then you will paint a circle with your right hand on the shoulder blade of the lady.
  • For every head movement you have to go first to the front. Go with your body to the front and if you see that the lady is going backwards, then you lead the head.
  • For the last circle, the lady needs more energy, so she knows, she doesn’t need to stop the move. Then guys you go around the lady bringing your left hand up. You will go close to the lady, getting her left hand with your right.
  • If you want, the lady goes up with the head, put some energy n your body for her to go up.

For the ladies:

  • Press a little bit against the hand of the guy on your back to feel the leading.
  • With the head movements your head is breathing to the side.
  • First go with your foot backwards and the you do your head movement.
  • Think about stretching the opposite side of your body if you are doing head movements.
  • The last circle you transfer the weight is your head is changing the side. At the end you stay on your left, so when the guy is turning you to the front you go with your right.

Have fun!

19.04.15. Intermediate. Two turns on the line with head movements

April 19, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

Today we did a nice head movement for the ladies.

Important things for the guys:

  • You will turn the lady to the left with both hands up. After that you pull in a line to you with the left hand and you go with the right hand to the axil of the lady. You want to bring her right shoulder up for her to go with the head to the left.
  • The lady will turn the three steps with the head to the left side. If she is in front of you, you will paint half of circle to the front. The lady is now with the head on the right side. You will now bring the head of the lady straight to the left. For that, you let your left hand up and push with your right hand to the left.
  • Now comes the last head movement. You will lead the lady to the right. The first three steps the lady stays with the head to the left. She will go under your right elbow. The forth step you have to bring both hands down for the lady to go with the head to the front and the fifth step both hands up, for the lady to go with the head up.

For the ladies:

  • Your head follows your shoulders. After the left turn you will go the first three steps with the head to the left side. Then comes a half of circle. Bring your chest in if your head is down for not to fall to the front.
  • After the circle the guy bring your head straight from one shoulder to the other. The last head movement you will go five steps. The first three steps you stay with the head to the side. The forth step you go like in a circle to the front and the fifth step you will bring your head up.
  • Think about it: The hole time you are turning on a line, so you have to go always the line.

Have fun!

15.04.15. Beginners 2 / Intermediate. Pendulum after bumerangue.

April 16, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi everybody!

Today we did one of my favourites pendulums.

Guys, you will lead the long left turn on the line (bumerangue). While leading the Bumerangue you go the first three steps around the lady and after that you will turn to the left, crossing to the other side. From hier you have to feel the tension with the arm of the lady, bring the lady to the front and after that lead the pendulum of the lady with your left hand. If the lady is down, you support the lady with your right hand on her right shoulder blade. Then you lead cambré as usual. You will lead the new variation with the snake with both hands. Think about to lead the shoulders of the lady.

Ladies. For the pendulum: If you feel the hand of the guy on your shoulder blade, get the arm of the guy with your left hand. For the pendulum you can check this link:

http://zouk-germany.com/18-03-15-beginners-2-pendulum/

Don’t forget the preparation for your cambré. For the snake watch the video to see how to play with your head, your shoulders and your chest. The guy is leading your shoulders. If you go with your head to the front, your chest is in. If you go with your head back your chest goe sto the front.

Have fun!
