- So, I'm going to make a silly observation. And say, that if we do this, as our basic,
- 00:09
- Then it's completely fine. But that, as a performance, it's, sort of, lackluster.
- 00:14
- And, part of it... You know, our bodies could be more active, and emoting. But part of it is just it's small.
- 00:22
- So, let's see. Let's really get so we have room.
- 00:33
- And I hope we... weh, we're not quite in camera. But, I think, that makes the point.
- 00:37
- Right? The first time we did the basic, we could have done eight of them, and stayed in camera.
- 00:41
- And the second time we do the basic, we can only barely do one.
- 00:46
- And so, how do we do that?
- 00:47
- That first side step, you'll see there's the reaching; soft bend in the leg. And then we push. And then we collect in.
- 00:59
- It was very nice.
- 01:02
- So, really: reach, bend... And I want to accent that moment of push.
- 01:07
- If I do this. And we have a chapter on it in walking, as well.
- 01:11
- This, that's how far I go. Which is not very far, if I don't push.
- 01:15
- And, if I do... Let's say we bend, and then we push. It really goes a lot further.
- 01:22
- And we do that in all directions. So, if we're walking forward, for the leaders, back for the followers, we have this sense of reaching.
- 01:29
- Shifting a hair off center. And then, pushing. And coming in.
- 01:36
- Reaching; shifting a hair off center; pushing; and then, coming in.
- 01:44
- So, as you practicing this... You know, at home, at your kitchen counter, whatever it is. You know, "Dog, don't move!"
- 01:52
- Four pieces:
- 01:56
- Number one, whatever direction, forward, side, I don't care, - you reach.
- 02:02
- Number two, I'm wanting you to go further, I want you to go off center.
- 02:05
- You see how my body isn't staying over vertical. When I reach, I really reach. And I'm going out, even, to cheat. To get more distance.
- 02:11
- And then I push off, and collect in.
- 02:17
- Practice.
