One of our favorite singers of the modern day.

00:04
So we talked about the things that we wanted...
00:06
..to talk about for the followers for the drag…
00:08
..and I picked the one that I think
is the one that I care about the most, I guess…
00:13
..and that’s what I am going to talk about first.
00:15
And that is, when we - so he pivots us all the way around
and then we step back…
00:21
..and a lot of times followers
will step back like this.
00:25
And they're all the way away from the leader -
00:27
Show them at this angle.
00:28
Show them at that angle.
00:29
Going back that way.
00:30
Okay, back like that.
00:32
So we’re all the way onto the heels,
all the way into our hip...
00:35
..all the way back from the partner.
00:37
And instead of that, what we want is
that, when you step back…
00:40
..you step back to the ball of your foot
and stay very tall and forward.
00:45
Then that keeps you forward to your partner,
until he’s ready to put you on your heel.
01:01
The drag, you can talk.
01:04
Also the pivot, that first pivot is a big pivot,
so you can get around and not go away from him.
01:10
So right here, I want you to be aware that,
with your right arm as he pulls you...
01:15
..you’re going to be pulling also
and pushing with your left...
01:17
..much like the advanced ocho technique.
01:19
N: Yes that’s what I was going to say.
D: And then we’ll do it again...
01:21
..to create enough pivot.
01:25
So apply that technique here as well.
