- This next styling is in the upper chest.
- 00:07
- And I'm going to show it really large, so it's easy to understand. But it's incredibly difficult to do.
- 00:13
- And it's not really that easy to understand, because it looks like,
- 00:16
- And this is what I thought when I first started, that it's moving from the shoulders.
- 00:19
- And it really has almost nothing to do with the shoulders, you're contracting in your midsection.
- 00:25
- So, really, it's the movement of your wing-bones, rather than of your shoulders.
- 00:29
- It's not the socket, it's the wing bone, which is, you know, back here, rather than up here.
- 00:36
- It's really hard to do with a contra body motion, especially...
- 00:39
- It started out difficult, and it gets harder with a contra body motion.
- 00:42
- So, don't think you're going to do both, and if you're doing this...
- 00:45
- Yeah, either one makes a lot of milonga with the landing, heavy landing.
- 00:48
- Yes.
- 00:49
- And, with this, if you do it...at the beginning, for practice, do it medium-sized.
- 00:54
- But, if you were really dancing, you wouldn't do it too large.
- 00:56
- Right.
- 00:56
- Once again, showing neutral, and then showing with wing-bones.
- 01:02
- Neutral...
- 01:08
- Here's wing-bones.
- 01:14
- And, once again, I'm moving too much.
- 01:16
- Here's neutral,
- 01:20
- Here's wing-bones.
- 01:26
- And really, what I'm doing, is I'm dropping my left shoulder blade, here, and then my right.
- 01:34
- But I do that at the same time I step.
- 01:36
- So, as i step on my left, I drop my left shoulder blade; as I step on the right, I drop my right shoulder blade.
- 01:41
- If we do this together...
- 01:46
- We go over, I drop my left. We go over - the right.
- 01:50
- So, the weight bearing foot is a foot with the shoulder down.
- 01:54
- And we're showing this really big, but now we're going to dance it, and we're going to dance it as we really would.
- 02:01
- When the music gets there.
- 02:20
- And it's not a lot, but, really, what I want you to think about,
- 02:23
- Is that all of these things in milonga are really like,
- 02:26
- You imagine this old guy just standing in the corner and pulsing to the music?
- 02:30
- He's right. It's almost nothing. But it's almost nothing coming from your center, really big.
- 02:35
- So, if we do...
- 02:47
- And that's really what I want you to think about.
