Zouk made in Germany

Hi everybody!

We are dancing today one turn on the line with head, half of circle with the head too, one spiral and another turn on the line with head.

First turn on the line with head in the close position

Guys, the first step you bring your lady to the front and you go to the side. You bend your upper body to the right, helping her to start the head movement to the left. The second step you bring the lady one more step on the line, you lead her head to the front (both shoulders are parallel to the floor) and your right foot is between both feet of the lady. The third step you open on the line, lead the head of the lady to the left and get the right arm of the lady with your left hand. In this way you can start the leading for the spiral. Try to start the spiral without a pause.

For the ladies, at the same time you try to stretch and to relax your neck. First step head to the left, second step to the front, third step to the right. If you bring you head back for the spiral, don’t think on going back, think on stretching the front part of your neck, this point is very important for you.

Spiral

On 1 you paint half of circle back, on 2 half of circle to the front and on 3 half of circle back again. On three guys, you can help the lady for her to open with the right hand over her head.

Ladies, watch the video to understand how to feel the hair (it’s not necessary your real hair, it could be an imaginary hair or weight hanging from the top of your head).

The second turn on the line with head.

It’s a normal turn on the line with head in the closed position. Like the first turn but without going with the right foot between both feet of the ladies. The guys don’t have to go in front of the lady.

The end

The guys bring the ladies in front of them. First step the head is to the side, second step the head is to the front, the third step the ladies go with the head up.

Hi!

For the first spiral, ladies, you will look your left hand and think on stretching your upper body to the front. Guys, watch the video to see how to change the grip of your left hand and bring your right hand to your shoulder. For the beginning of the spiral you will go with your right to the right bending your upper body to the left. Give time the lady for to do her move, be a gentleman, invite her . Look now to the other side and look at the lady.

For the elastic the guys need to lead with the body, you go with your hips to the side. If the lady is going into the elastic, the guys let the right hand free and get the shoulder blade of the lady. Now the ladies have contact with both hands of the guy and you have to keep the tension against both hands. Go little by little into the cambre and contract your center. Don’t do the cambre now if it’s a new step for you, watch first this video:

If you are doing it together with your partner:

Guys: Your arms are pressing up, keeping and feeling the frame with the partner. You will start bending with the upper body to the right if you go by one with the right. The move comes from your upper body. Then, when you go with the left backwards, you start bending your upper body to the left and turning 90° to the left too. Continue turning every 1-2-3 another 90° to the left. If you want to end the move, you will go on 1 with the right, on 2 the head of the lady is in the center and on 3 you bring the head of the lady up.

Ladies: Your are pressing down to keep the contact with the guy. You are thinking the hole time on stretching the opposite side of your body. Your head is following your shoulders.

Have fun!

Hi!

A really nice combination because has a lot of zouk elements.

• After the preparation for the cambré the guys bring the lady to her right with a torsion in the upper body. The ladies go with the right foot to the side and transfer the weight with the head. Ladies: Playing with your upper body it’s a opportunity to stretch the opposite side of your body.
• Guys, you can lead so many circles as you want. After that you will go the the right side of the lady. Your right hand keeps the tension with her right arm. With the left hand you kann lead the head. For the ladies: you are turning on the spot to the right, so your axis for the turn is your right foot.
• For the spiral: If the lady has the head to the front, guys, you will let the right hand free and get the right shoulder of the lady to help her for the spiral. Ladies, three things for the spiral. 1) You are now turning to the left, your axis for the turn is your left foot. 2) Try to keep the axis of your head always in the same direction. 3) Strecht the opposite side of your body. If your head is back, you will push with your hips to the front. If your head is to the front you have to close the front part of your body and stretch your back.

Have fun!
