Hi!
Today we learn an important tecnique for you to opening on the line (from the lateral step or from more than one turn on the line). Ladies: watch the video to see how to land and to go on your knees. Guys: Watch the video to learn when do you have to give some extra energy.
Have fun!
Hi!
I love to dance easy steps in a “cool” way. For the ladies: you are doing the lateral step and turning always your upper body to your partner. For the guys: If you want to turn, remember first to bring the lady into the lateral step.
Have fun!
Hi!
Some important things for this step:
- Preparation for the right turn. The guys let the lady goes backwards, and slide the right hand till they have the left hand of the ladies.
- Right turn for the ladies. Ladies, go your third step on the spot. Guys, you cross with your left foot and on 2 you let your left hand on the back of the lady and slide the hand till you have the hand of the lady. Go around the lady.
- Lateral. Guys, go a litte bit far away of the lady to feel the tension of her arm.
- Elastic. A normal elastic.
Have fun!
Hi!
Today we learn an easy combination for the beginners. The idea is to do the lateral step and a left turn but in a cool way.
Important for the ladies: Go your third step on the spot and let you arms stretched for this moves.
For the guys:
- Leading the lateral you bring your lady first to your right and after that you change the grip of your left hand (the thumb goes down).
- You lead the next lateral and after that you turn to your right. At the end of your turn you need to be a little bit far away of the lady to feel the tension of her arm.
- You lead the next lateral and with your right arm you will paint on 3 a circle with the arm of the lady (watch the video).
- You lead the turn of the lady but you keep the contact with the lady with your right hand.
Hi!
Today we are speaking about an important matter for your posture while dancing zouk. It’s about bringing your shoulders and your pelvis in a line (shoulders down and pelvis to the front) and to contract your center closing your ribs. In zouk we do alot of crazy things but with control and tension in our body.
Have fun!
Hi!
Today we did a very easy combination putting together all steps we learnt the last weeks.
- Left turn from basic step. For the ladies the third step on the spot. For the guys: The right hand on the waist of the lady helps her to understand the leading and on 2 you get the lady.
- Cross step. For the ladies: Third step on the spot and focus with your upper body on the guy. For the guys: The line is for the lady. Lead the step with your upper body, not with your arms.
- Lateral step. Ladies: Third step on the spot. Guys: The right hand will slide from the shoulder blade of the lady to her left hand. Go the second step to the front with a torsion in your upper body. If you go with your right to the front, you have a torsion to the right. If you go with your left to the front, you have a torsion to the left.
- Left turn for the guys: With your right you lead the lady to the front, you turn to the left going your third step on the spot. For the ladies just lateral step.
- Left turn for the ladies: Ladies, third step on the spot. Guys: You get the lady on 2.
- Wave. For the ladies: keep the contact with the hand on your left shoulder blade. For the guy: Go with the left to the front.
Have fun!
Hi!
At the beginning of learning zouk all the ladies are crazy for the head movements. Today we learn the head movements while doing the lateral step. Be very carefully dancing this step at the party. Guys: you have the responsibility about this step. If you think, something dangerous can happen, cancel the move and protect the lady. Ladies: don’t the head movements alone, zouk is a couple dance. Please, warm up your body and special your neck for dance this step.
For the ladies:
- The steps. Don’t do any big steps and try that your legs are together pressing against each other.
- Upper body and head. At the beginning of the head movement the head is breathing to the side. Between 2 and 3 the shoulders will change the position. The head follows the shoulders and paint half of circle to the front. If the head is to the front, your chest is in and you close your ribs. You try to make space for your head, your head should be over your center and you go a little bit on your knees. On three your head arrive the other side. At the end of the head movement your head goes to the front and up. While doing the head movement you are thinking on stretching the opposite side of your neck.
The leading.
- The beginning: The head of the lady has to breath to the side. For it, if you bring the lady by lateral from the left to the right, you will put your left hand up and to you and your right hand down and to the lady. You turn the wrists of the lady to the right too.
- Always the same mechanism: The first and the second step you don’t lead anything. Between 2 and 3 you will lead the head movement, changing the hands position (one goes up and the other down) and turning the wrists of the lady to the other side.
- For the end: You will lead the head of the lady to the front and then up.
- Guys: Don’t do any big steps, support the lady and control, that there is nothing dangerous for her around of you.
Have fun!
Hi!
Dancing in the close close position is one of the best things you can do while enjoying zouk.
For the ladies:
- Think you want to go through the guy for keeping the contact
- Your right arm is over his right shoulder.
- Going backwards do big steps but stay with the tension to the front.
For the guys:
- Place the right side of your upper body in the middle of her upper body.
- You want to hug the lady, you try to separate your shoulder blades.
- Your right arm goes to her right shoulder blade. Hug the lady!
- Going backwards do big steps.
- Relax your upper body and don’t do any disturbing movements.
Have fun!
