- So we say over and over that the core and front end, dancing from our core is the most important thing of all
- 00:10
- In social dancing, especially in tango, the connection is really important as well.
- 00:16
- We have a third thing, that we don't talk about that often, that for us is extremely important, it's just the "danceness" of it
- 00:22
- And the danceness I suppose partly comes from a relationship to the music and the timing
- 00:28
- In freno, it's about pivoting from your core, to us, and then it's about relating to each other through the music.
- 00:40
- One thing I tell a lot of students to do, once they get advanced, this is not a beginning idea
- 00:46
- Is that don't pivot, until ascertained to. If he leader will try to pivot the follower, and the follower shouldn't go, and they resist - don't pivot at all.
- 00:53
- And then you'll feel this on the spot in your abs
- 00:56
- It is exactly where it is
- 00:58
- And it's really low
- 00:59
- Yeah, it is
- 01:00
- And people are surprised how low the dancing really comes from
- 01:05
- So if we're here, and I extend my right foot, as I pull, my pull is... started by the pullback in my right hip, and then in some certain place in by abs, on to my left.
- 01:16
- And she'll resist
- 01:18
- And as I resist, It hits me very low down in the abs, and then the pivot happens.
- 01:23
- Kind of by magic. Sort of by magic
- 01:27
- And here is the key study, but it's true in general, that...
- 01:32
- It really is the case, that it's your low abs that do a lot
- 01:37
- And so I want you to think, anytime you want to feel where should this step come from, don't go - resist
- 01:43
- That's great advice
- 01:44
- And then, relax everything you can, resist as little as you' can, and when they impply increasing pressure, ask
- 01:50
- "What are the exact muscles I must use?" And alwost always the answer is - very low, rather than up here in your shoulders.
- 01:56
- That was really good
