One of our favorite singers of the modern day.
- 00:04
- So we talked about the things that we wanted...
- 00:06
- ..to talk about for the followers for the drag…
- 00:08
- ..and I picked the one that I think
is the one that I care about the most, I guess… - 00:13
- ..and that’s what I am going to talk about first.
- 00:15
- And that is, when we - so he pivots us all the way around
and then we step back… - 00:21
- ..and a lot of times followers
will step back like this. - 00:25
- And they're all the way away from the leader -
- 00:27
- Show them at this angle.
- 00:28
- Show them at that angle.
- 00:29
- Going back that way.
- 00:30
- Okay, back like that.
- 00:32
- So we’re all the way onto the heels,
all the way into our hip... - 00:35
- ..all the way back from the partner.
- 00:37
- And instead of that, what we want is
that, when you step back… - 00:40
- ..you step back to the ball of your foot
and stay very tall and forward. - 00:45
- Then that keeps you forward to your partner,
until he’s ready to put you on your heel. - 01:01
- The drag, you can talk.
- 01:04
- Also the pivot, that first pivot is a big pivot,
so you can get around and not go away from him. - 01:10
- So right here, I want you to be aware that,
with your right arm as he pulls you... - 01:15
- ..you’re going to be pulling also
and pushing with your left... - 01:17
- ..much like the advanced ocho technique.
- 01:19
- N: Yes that’s what I was going to say.
D: And then we’ll do it again... - 01:21
- ..to create enough pivot.
- 01:25
- So apply that technique here as well.
