27.01.15. Beginners 1. Sidestep or lateral.

Januar 27, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Hi!

There are three steps, which we are doing the hole time while dancing zouk: basic step, sidestep (lateral, half a turn to the front) and the normal zouk turns. Today we learn the sidestep or lateral.

The beginning is lke the cross step. After the first three steps, guys go to the right and the bring the ladies to the left. You let your right hand slide till you have the left hand of the lady in your hand. Steps for the guys: we are doing today the steps on the line just to be confident about the leading. Next week we will learn another possibility for your steps.

For the ladies: the steps are the same as the last week but it’s very important to turn your upper body always to the guy.

Here you can see some more informations (subtitles in English).

See you!

27.01.15. Advanced. Head movements behind the lady and turns with head to the side.

Hi everybody!

So many things to say! It’s very nice to start again with the advanced course in Bremen.

For the ladies: you have to look always for the contact with the guy, even if this contact is on your back. If you feel the arm of the guy, you press against the arm (not too much, because in this case you will be heavy for the guy).

For the guys: the leading is like a “V” on the back of the lady. While painting the circle on the front you turn the hand putting the palm of the hand up, so the lady has more space. While painting the other half of the circle you continue with the contact and you bring your left hand to the axle of the lady, so you can lead the turns after the circle.

Ladies: for the circle on the front you go down, pelvis to the front, your chest is in. While turning let the head fall to the left side and when the guy is bringing the hand down, you paint the circle to the front. Don’t forget to contract your center for don’t lose your balance. Next week we repeat it!

The second step. Guys, watch the video to know how to keep the contact with the lady. For the ladies: your head is going with your shoulders. At the end of the turn, you comb your hair and look for the guy.

Next week more!

20.01.15. Beginners 1. Cross-step.

Hi everybody!

Today we did a very beutiful and romantic step: the cross-step. I love it! I have always the feeling, I’m traveling with my partner if I’m dancing it.

For the guys: try to invite the lady in every movement. Your upper body is directed to the lady the hole time.

For the lady: your upper body has to be connected with the upper body of your partner, your shoulders are parallel to the shoulder of your partner. If you want to watch the step slowlier, please check this (subtitle in English):

See you next week!

Hi everybody! Today we had the pleasure to start another beginners course in Bremen. We started with the basic step and after that we did a little opening to the right. For the basic step you can check this video too (there are subtitles in English):

For the little opening we said something important: the guys have to be always a gentleman and think “first the lady”. We invite the lady in every movement. For the lady: it’s important for you to keep your upper body directed to the guy.

See you next week!

06.01.15. Intermediate. Head. The door will be blocked with a headmovement.

Be a zouk activist

Januar 5, 2015 / / 2 Comments

We love zouk and we want to spread it everywhere. That’s our challenge. Because other dances like salsa or tango are well known in the whole world. Zouk is growing in another way: people fall in love with the dance and bring their friends to the dance scene. That’s the reason why zouk is so special.

Now we bild in Bremen a group of dancers, who want to fight for zouk. Do you want to be an activist? If you like the choreography feel free to use it in order to reach more people and make zouk get bigger and better.
