Generically, if you are going to have movements that are faster, your connection should be tighter. And this is both the connection inside your own body and the connection between you and your partner.

(From the website): Possessed by a strong magnetic tellurism, Cáceres was always to be found within the limits of the hurricane’s eye.

00:12
So, that's a cousin to the step we just did.
00:15
It's kind of backwards from the step we just did.
00:17
Yeah, but equally cool.
00:20
Breaking it down, we have our entrance, which is side, through.
00:25
That's remarkably like the 6-count basic, the 8-count basic.
00:30
Side, through.
00:32
Now, right here, I'm going to snap her, with a rotation of my upper chest.
00:37
Bang!
00:38
And at the same time I do that, I'm going to cut behind with my left foot.
00:42
So, we've got: snap, left. And she'll rebound.
00:46
For the followers, as you do this,
00:49
You have prep, one, you go over, and he's going to snap, you go "Bang!", you change weight, you go back.
00:56
N: And, it's the changing weight part while you do that...
D: So, if I'm the follower,
N: That's hard.
D: Right here, there's the snap, bang, change. And then you're ready to go back.
01:03
And, you notice that it's actually pretty fast. But that's because you take your body, and you make it like a spring.
01:10
Going a little slower: here's our prep... bang.
01:16
There's for her. Prep, bang, and then we go through.
01:24
From a timing perspective and I'm...
01:29
I'm going to be a little more detailed than I should be. But it'll make it doable, so, probably it's a necessary detail.
01:37
For the leaders, when you go forward, you go forward, and, as you hit like 2/3 past, you start to wind her up and hit it.
01:46
And then you wait for her to return, before you go forward again.
01:50
You should talk about the fact that winding her up is around her axis.
01:54
It's around her traveling axis.
01:56
N: Yeah.
D: Yeah.
N: That's what makes it harder.
01:57
So, as she's going that way, you're going that way.
02:02
So, you say, "Get her moving", and then, once you hit the middle, you start to say, "And, go".
02:07
So, you start the warning early, and then, as she hits the end, you make it snap.
02:14
That's the going. Now, on the coming, after it travels, get it ready, snap,
02:20
It bounces back. Let it come all the way, and then start.
02:23
So, the idea is that you start it before you get there, but you don't finish it until it's really done. And then you move on.
02:30
For the followers, as you do this, really it's the case, that I want you to stand...
02:33
It's a very similar exercise to the previous chapter, where the body recoils back and forth.
02:39
We just have to stay very tight.
02:42
So, if you watch this, there's just this,
02:46
Where you really let the hips go all the way one way, and then all the way the other, but changing weight between.
02:51
So, showing you again.
03:01
Or, a different angle.
03:08
Now, that's half-time. Full time:
