The Basic - Intro
None
- 00:14
- Where again, and this is the quote,
- 00:17
- traditional eight count basic.
- 00:28
- And for the leaders, or just let's say to learn the step,
- 00:32
- uh, I like, let's do it this angle.
- 00:34
- I like to break it down into two halves.
- 00:35
- This is the first half where I go side rotate slightly.
- 00:38
- So I out step her one, two, this is in the line.
- 00:42
- And then as my left foot touches
- 00:43
- and her right foot touches, that is when the cross happens.
- 00:48
- And I'm looking to try
- 00:49
- to get my toes without even with each other.
- 00:53
- And so that's the first half. One more time side.
- 00:57
- One, two, rotate shift up. She crosses, he changes weight.
- 01:02
- Part one. Now part two.
- 01:04
- After that, uh, start from the cross.
- 01:08
- We have through side,
- 01:12
- we both change and exit. And
- 01:15
- We call that the tango close.
- 01:17
- And we can use it at the end of other steps as well. Whoops.
- 01:20
- It's okay. And so now if we look at the followers part in
- 01:24
- that cross, as we take that step to that cross right here.
- 01:34
- One more time. So notice that it just slots in.
- 01:37
- And importantly, notice that her toes are even,
- 01:40
- I made it. Yay.
- 01:41
- 01:43
- One more time just because we were a little out of camera.
- 01:48
- Uh, scoot forward towards me there. Here.
- 01:52
- So once again, slots in
- 01:55
- toes even she's on the ball of her foot.
- 01:57
- And then we exit together.
- 01:59
- So that's for the followers
- 02:01
- and then for the leaders, uh, I want you to imagine that,
- 02:05
- uh, this, actually, let's do it with this angle
- 02:08
- that this happens, uh, this cross,
- 02:11
- because she's over here to one side of you.
- 02:13
- You go one, two steps forward,
- 02:15
- and then as you shift up, you rotate back
- 02:18
- to front. It's, and
- 02:19
- At the same time he's doing that, we're rotating de face.
- 02:22
- So ideally we mirror the rotation.
- 02:27
- So let's show it one last time.
