Zouk made in Germany

Hi!

Today we wanted to continue practising the bumerangue step and at the end of the class we learnt how to do a cambré after the bumerangue step.

For the guys: You will lead the bumerangue from the lateral. If you lead the last left turn for the lady you will go the first three steps a little bit to the right around the lady. You get the lady on 2. On the next 1 you bring the lady to you and there is no space between you and your partner, you have contact. You lead the preparation for the cambré. This part is very important. Don’t force the lady to go into the cambré, be sensitive. At the end you can lead the wave (first you lead the shoulders of the lady bending your upper body to the right) or you can bring the lady just up.

For the ladies. While turning to the left you bring your left arm in front of your chest. Feel the hand of the guy on your back and bring your left arm over his arm. Your preparation for the cambré is very important. Even if the guy doesn’t help you with the leading, put your pelvis to the front. You have to stay by yourself, you control your own weight. For the variation breathing up with your chest, remember to push up with your right foot.

Have fun!

Hi!

We can lead the long left turn on the line (bumerangue) directly from lateral.

Guys:

• Dancing the lateral you bring the lady with your left into the line and after that you turn her. Let your hand over her head and on the second 1 you bring the hand done.
• You do the first three steps on the spot, after that you go two steps to the front and one step backwards.
• The last turn is another turn on the line, first you lead the line and after that the turn.

Ladies:

• Imagine a line and walk the line.
• Don’t turn with your legs opened. Watch the video to understand how to close your legs.

• After the last turn, feel the hand of the guy on your back and don’t go to the front alone.

A nice combination for the beginners.

For the guys: After the first turn of the lady you want to get both hands. Then you are in front of the lady a little bit to the left and you bring her to you with both hands up. With your right arm push the lady softly for her to go backwards and you slide your right hand to get her right hand. Then you lead the elastic.

For the ladies: Think about doing your steps on the line. For the elastic try to go first with your hips and after that with your chest.

See you next week!
