技術介紹 - 尊重軸心
如果你花時間，你堅持一個櫃檯（或一個芭蕾舞吧），那麼通過並不難超過你的腳。如果你在一個米隆（探戈舞），你在一個組合的中間步驟，突然需要停止，這通常是很難的。所以真的，訣竅是以真正清晰的方式學習這個地方，以便您能夠更快，更自動地做到這一點。
學習這意味著先練習非常緩慢，然後慢慢地，然後當你步行，直到你可以更自然。
- 00:07
- So as I go around, this is all about honoring axis.
- 00:13
- And so why can she be so easy,
so gliding as if she were on ball bearings? - 00:18
- D: And that's because -
N: Was I? - 00:19
- D: Yes, you were.
N: How cool. - 00:20
- And that’s because
she had very good technique... - 00:23
- ..and that gives us all this ease
and magic. - 00:28
- So for example,
when you can do that... - 00:30
- ..you can do lots of cool stuff right?
we'll have combinations. - 00:32
- Sometimes it’s for the guy right,
we’ll be here... - 00:35
- and he has this moments of “Ah”
and then going through. - 00:39
- Sometimes it’s for the girl
and maybe she’ll have. - 00:51
- So those beautiful pivots where you’re just here
and you go “Ah” and then you go on. - 00:59
- Some technical things to enable this
for the followers and for the leaders actually... - 01:04
- ..for both people, I want you to be aware
that when you step... - 01:07
- ..especially for the followers...
- 01:09
- ..it steps all the way over
to the ball of the foot. - 01:11
- So if I’m the girl -
- 01:12
- It’s not going to work unless
you’re on the ball of your foot. - 01:15
- If I do this; and someone says,
"Am I on the ball of my foot?" - 01:19
- I may say yes.
- 01:20
- A lot of people say,
“Yes I’m on the ball of my foot." - 01:21
- "Look see I’m forward.”
- 01:23
- But I don’t want you just to be there.
I want you be here. - 01:27
- So if you pick up your free leg
and then you pick up the other leg’s heel... - 01:33
- ..then you’re on the ball of your foot.
- 01:34
- And then you can lower the foot,
lower the other foot. - 01:36
- But keep your weight that far forward.
- 01:40
- So even if we step side, I’m there.
- 01:45
- And now there are technical things we can do
to help as well... - 01:47
- Right?..so the follower;
you can pull in and down just a little bit... - 01:50
- ..and that little bit
helps a lot with balance. - 01:51
- For example...
- 01:52
- ..if I try to balance on one foot,
that’s a very hard way to balance. - 01:56
- But if I just, even one finger,
all of a sudden it becomes much more stable. - 02:01
- So you guys can try that,
even with a counter in the kitchen. - 02:04
- Just put one finger on the counter.
- 02:06
- It makes a huge difference.
- 02:07
- Good point.
- 02:10
- Now for the leaders,
what I want you to do... - 02:13
- ..here, let me get one of our couples
from the previous chapter. - 02:17
- And I want you to say,
“Well, how can I tell where the follower’s axis is?" - 02:21
- "How can I help her be on her axis
and not throw her off?” - 02:24
- And one way to tell is the pressure.
- 02:26
- So for example if this chair is a follower
and I’m holding it right here... - 02:31
- I feel the weight going a little bit
that way. - 02:35
- And that means
the chair’s axis is this way right? - 02:39
- So I have to pull it away from
that point of pressure... - 02:42
- ..and you keep looking around until
you can find this point of perfect balance. - 02:45
- Or almost perfect.
- 02:47
- And the truth is, and that’s pretty close right,
it takes a while to drop. - 02:52
- And so I’m doing the same thing with the follower.
- 02:54
- She can do this with me.
- 02:55
- So for example if I’m the follower and
I’m on one foot... - 03:00
- ..and she moves it right here,
guess what? - 03:02
- She’s going to feel pressure...
- 03:04
- N: A lot of pressure.
D: ..that way. - 03:06
- And so if you feel pressure that way...
- 03:07
- ..then take the follower the opposite way
and there’s no pressure. - 03:11
- And then if I start going this way
and you feel pressure that way... - 03:13
- ..guess what that means,
it means the follower is leaning back. - 03:15
- That’s why she’s pulling on you.
- 03:17
- So pull her back onto the ball of her foot.
- 03:18
- And it’s not only for the guys;
it’s for the girls too. - 03:20
- Girls, if you’re like this
don’t just stay here and make him suffer. - 03:25
- Right if you’re like this and you're like
"Oh I'm losing my balance,"... - 03:26
- you can push with your arms to find your balance,
right yourself up. - 03:30
- This is for both people.
- 03:33
- And when you saw us do this,
these beautiful turning steps... - 03:38
- ..we have maybe an overturn media vuelta
and you look at him and you say... - 03:45
- “Oh, that’s so beautiful.”
Why is that so beautiful? - 03:46
- Well it’s about the gliding ease.
But why can you have this gliding ease? - 03:51
- And the answer is
the ease comes from the balance. - 03:57
- And the balance comes because
you honor axis. - 04:00
- And I don’t want you to think that balance is this thing
that’s mystical... - 04:04
- ..and you either have it or you don’t.
- 04:05
- It’s the collection of techniques.
- 04:06
- Finding where the ball of your foot is,
is one technique. - 04:08
- Using the one finger to balance,
soft pressure downward is a technique. - 04:16
- Learning where the axis is and
adjusting the arms is another technique. - 04:20
- So you accumulate these techniques
and eventually... - 04:22
- ..these techniques are elevated
to this sort of mystical beauty. - 04:25
- And that’s really fun.
