27.09.15. Intermediate. Combination: Pseudo-elastic, bringing the lady around of you and the thrower.

A nice combination putting a lot of elements togehter.

For the guys: Ask yourself, where is the tension of the leading? How to lead the pseudo elastic clearly? How to bring the lady around of me?

For the ladies: Feel the leading of your partner. Just because your partner has your hand up it doesn’t mean, he wants to turn you. Going around the guy is a nice opportunity to play with your hips.

For the last step: watch the video to see how many steps you have to go at the end.

Big hug,

Fernando

20.09.15. Beginners 2. Bringing the lady around of you from the lateral step.

Hi!

For the guys: Think about the tension with the arm of the lady for this step. Another important point is how to give some energy to have the lady in front of you again: The first two steps the lady goes to the front but the third step the lady has to come back to her right foot. You will let your left hand slide till you have her hand.

For the ladies: Don’t go alone to the front, you have to stay back. In this way, the guy can lead you. You go around of the guy with your upper body to him. The right arm have a connection with the back of the guy and it means, you have to press against his back.

Have fun!

13.09.15. Beginners. Improving the bumerangue: Some details

Hi!

We want today not to explain the hole bumerangue but to speak about some details:

  1.  Opening into the line. Guys, you can choose how fast the lady is landing.
  2.  Ladies:
    1. You go down in your plié.
    2. Your hips are parallel to the floor and your pelvis is straight.
    3. If you go with the left you will slide.
  3. Guys, watch the video for your new footwork.

Have fun!

Big hug,

Fernando

13.09.15. Intermediate. Turning the lady on the line like a DJ and cambré

Hi!

Important for the guys: Don’t be rude with your lady. Play with the contact (while watching the video try to understand how to stop the lady with the contact).

Important for the ladies:

  • Your head is going with your shoulders, following them.
  • While turning you have a contraction in your center. This contraction is the preparation for your cambré.

Have fun!

13.09.15. Intermediate. Left turn on the line with both arms and pseudo ioio.

Hi!

Important for the guys:

  • Try to understand the steps of the lady, in this way you will block the lady at the right time.
  • Looking in one direction other in other direction will help you to do the move.

Important for the ladies:

  • Focus on your partner.
  • If the guy relaxes the arms to do some move remember to relax your arms too.

Have fun!

06.09.15. Beginners. Ioio with a turn to the right for the guys

Hi!

The guys have always the possibility to do the ioio more interesting.

  • Ladies: The last turn is very important, you have to learn to close your legs while turning.
  • Remember guys: First lead the lady before you turn and while turning focus on the lady.

Have fun!

06.09.15. Intermediate. Turn for the guys while dancing the bumerangue. Two new variations.

Hi!

The guys can turn to the left while dancing the bumerangue step and we want to show you two new possibilities. Both have the same steps but the leading and the visual appearance are differents.

  • For the first, the guy leads the turn of the lady with the right hand alone.
  • For the second, the guy used both hands and the left hand will go over the head of the lady.
  • For the ladies, remember to close your legs while dancing the step.

Have fun!
