Easy Transitions - A Minimal Entrance To Gancho

This series is about being able to get into something from anywhere and it's very freeing. Once you become comfortable enough with these ideas, then the next logical question is when should you get into something.

You can look at choreographies as examples and see if they, for example, go to a molinette from a cross. You can ask:

  • Is that a transition that I would have done?
  • Is that a transition of which I approve?
  • Does one thing flow nicely into the next?
  • Is there some relationship between the motions? (for instance, they are both circular, or does it seem more arbitrary)?

After you get comfortable doing the gancho anywhere, then play with the question, "when do you want to?"

From website: My Name is Momo Smitt, I am an independently funded/promoted hip hop artist based in Portland, OR. My music covers a wide range of topics from recovery and personal growth to political and environmental issues. Though much of my music is expressed from a first person perspective of opinions and feelings, I also tend to take a narrative, story-telling approach while detailing my experiences through the role of "observer".
