Hi!
It’s nice if you learn some steps with you and your partner are looking in the same direction.
The most important thing for this step is to learn to go slow (like in slow motion) and be sensitive leading the little steps of the lady.
Ladies: It’s very nice if you play with your eyes while doing this step, this gives you more expression. Don’t forget the connection with the partner pressing down with the arms.
Have fun!

Hi!
The difficult part is the elastic-cambre-snake part.
Ladies:
- For the elastic go with your left foot backwards but with your chest to the front. Remember: In zouk if your chest goes to the front your head goes back. If you are down and your head is to the front, you will put your chest in and your pelvis to the front. Keep the contact pressing against the arm of the guy.
- For the cambré, go with your knees to the front, with the pelvis to the front and at the end your head goes back (then you open your chest).
- For the snake, you go first with your head (your chest will be in again) and then with your upper body.
Guys, it’s very important to learn to lead with your body. For the elastic of the lady you bend your upper body a little bit to the left. For the cambré to the right and for the snake to the left. Your right arm will be on the back of the lady parallel to her shoulders. If you are doing the snake and the lady goes back, let your right hand free, put your right foot between both feet of the lady and then you can easily start with the basic step.
Have fun!
Hi!
Ladies: Remember to do your third step on the spot and focus on your partner with your upper body while turning.
Guys: Pay attention if you have to turn. First bring the lady into the lateral step and after that you turn focusing on your partner. That’s the most important thing.
Have fun!
Big hug,
Fernando
Hi!
Today’s step is very nice to play with the music from the basic step.
For the ladies: A very important part is to keep the contact the hole time with the hand of the guy on your shoulder blade. You will only feel the leading if you keep the contact. For the elastic go first with your hips, then with your chest and at the end with your head. If the guy leads you up, the head stays till the end down, then you go up and focus on the guy. If the guy leads the snake, when your head goes up, your chest goes to the floor. Important: Connect your right hand with your upper body if you are down.
For the guys: Go away from the line of the lady and try to lead the move with your body. You can play with the velocity of the move and with the music. If you bring the lady up, you go with your right foot again in front of the lady.
Have fun!

Hi!
Some tips for the combination:
Bumerangue. Guys: Bring the lady into the line, pulling from her left hand. Your right hand stays over her head till the second 1 of the bumerangue. Ladies: Do your steps in the line and watch the video to see the ladystyling.
For the turn of both. Guys: Focus on the lady and come back to her, you come back with your third step to her. Ladies. Remember to close your legs and wait for the contact of the guy on your shoulder blade, don’t go alone without the contact.
For the wave. Guys: You can do a little preparation for the wave bringing your shoulders back on three before the wave comes.
Have fun!
Hi!
Couple dance is a really beautiful thing: two become one in the couple. For it we have leaders and followers (one guy and one lady, two guys, two ladies, everything is posible). We are always speaking about guys and ladies but it would be better to say just leaders and followers.
A very important task for the follower is to make the connection with the leader through the contact. Everytime we have a new contact, the lady have to press against this contact (not to much, just to feel the leading of the leading and not to go alone without a connection).
It doesn’t matter where is the contact. Today’s combination shows you some possibilities.
Have fun!
