There maybe I was just a hair too early,
but not by much.
00:20
But you could see why this is called dodging the bullet.
00:23
So the followers, you're the bullet.
00:25
You go streaming at the guys, bang.
00:27
We've got to go straight for them.
00:29
And actually it’s not straight.
It’s to the side.
00:32
But you’re really going aggressively to the side…
00:34
..and then the leader, better from -
you know, let’s do it from this angle.
00:39
So, if I’m here, and she’s going just to my left side…
00:43
..this would be this.
00:44
No, keep going. Don’t stop.
00:46
Yeah, so there’s that.
00:48
And what’s going to happen is,
right at the very last minute as she does that…
00:54
..you’re going to pass by,
which is I think a lot of fun.
00:57
Is there any way to show that in the foot camera?
01:00
Uh, sure. What would be a good angle?
Let’s show from this angle.
01:08
So you’re going to walk at me.
01:12
Okay, and so if we break this step down,
in slow motion.
01:36
That’s really fun.
01:38
So we start out in a normal dance embrace.
01:43
So, him on his right, her on her left.
01:45
And from there, instead of facing her square,
I’m going to rotate…
01:49
..so we’re a little offset,
so she walks outside partner.
01:53
One, two.
01:56
Now, as we get to two,
I’m already starting to go across her.
02:01
I shift faster so I can go across her,
as she steps through the space that I’m vacating.
02:10
Normal dance embrace,
goes a little bit outside.
02:15
Outside I go past.
02:17
And then I pivot around on my right foot
and step past him.
02:21
So, for the leaders, you’ve got:
actually you’re facing her and then you tilt…
02:31
..one, two. And on two, you’re going…
02:40
..and actually it's what? Your third step, as we’re stepping into it…
02:43
You’re stepping to your left, rotating to your right,
so she goes through and around, as you step in place.
02:51
And for the followers, as that’s happening...
02:58
..right here, as he steps to his left, collecting his feet…
03:03
..that’s going to pull you around,
in a side step around him, back to face.
03:07
And then we go on, her back, him forward.
03:12
N: You want to do it one more time?
D: Yes, let’s do it one more time.
