Hi!
Some important things for the step:
1. Guys: You have contact with your right hip and the left hip of the lady after the left turn.
2. You will think “first the lady, than me”.
3. Control the steps of the lady: Go just one step and then you help her to turn on one foot.
4. Ladies, you’re beautiful if you go to the front with presence.
5. Guys: For leading the waves, think on the second wave while doing the first. Have fun!
Hi!
Today we learn a nice move to play with the hips of the lady after a normal left turn. Have fun!
Hi!
1. About decorating with the hands: Ladies, if the guy relax the hands, you will relax the hands too. You have always the same energy level as the guy in your hands. While doing the lateral, you will keep the upper body focusing on your partner. The guys decorate with the left but lead the lady with the right into the lateral (don’t forget to lead the third step of the lady.
2. Now are coming two turns on the line. For the second turn the guys are crossing on 2 with right leg back and turning to the right on three.
3. From the elastic into the titanic: After the left turn of the lady, guys, you go a little bit back because you need some tension between your arm and the arm of the lady. Lead the elastic. On 1 you let your right hand on the belly of the lady and on 2 you let your left hand on the left shoulder of the lady. Bring the lady one step back and after that another more step back and up. Your left hand slides alogn the left arm of the lady.
4. For the bumerangue: Guys, you lead on 1 but go on 2. On the second 1 the ladies could do her ladystyling.
Have fun!
Hi everybody!
Today you will learn how to block the lady for her to go into a wave with the hips and then we will do some head movements. The most important thing for both, ladies and guys, is the connection between the leading of the guy and the arms and shoulders of the lady. Remember: The head is always following the shoulders.
Have fun!
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!
Another variation for the rond de jambe + tic-tac step. Today it’s about learning to bend the upper body of your lady and she doesn’t have to transfer the weight, she transfers the weight later.
Have fun!
Hi!
This step is really nice to put an accent in the music from the basic step. Guys, it’s difficult to explain you the torsion to the right in your upper body, watch the video carefully because that’s the point. Ladies: It’s nice if you use your eyes for this move, looking at your foot.
Have fun!
Zouk it’s sooo beautiful! 
For the rond de jambe you can watch this video:
Guys, after the rond de jambe you want to stop the lady with the left hand up and the right hand on the side of the lady. But you stop the lady just for a millisecond, because you will pull with the right hand to the right and with the left hand to the left. Watch the video because both hands go up and that’s an important detail. With your right you open a window and then you will go through, first with your left hand and after that with your body. If you are on the oder side, your left ist down and your right is up. Push the lady to her left side with your left hand and change the shoulder line. At the end, if you turn your upper body to the left, you wil lead the lady to the left and start with the head movements.
Ladies, this step is the perfect opportunity to go with your hips every time you transfer the weight from one side to the other. First always the hips and at the end the head. Be sensitiv about your shoulder line: Today you know the step that the guy is leading but there are a lot of possibilities.
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
