Where again, and this is the quote,
00:17
traditional eight count basic.
00:28
And for the leaders, or just let's say to learn the step,
00:32
uh, I like, let's do it this angle.
00:34
I like to break it down into two halves.
00:35
This is the first half where I go side rotate slightly.
00:38
So I out step her one, two, this is in the line.
00:42
And then as my left foot touches
00:43
and her right foot touches, that is when the cross happens.
00:48
And I'm looking to try
00:49
to get my toes without even with each other.
00:53
And so that's the first half. One more time side.
00:57
One, two, rotate shift up. She crosses, he changes weight.
01:02
Part one. Now part two.
01:04
After that, uh, start from the cross.
01:08
We have through side,
01:12
we both change and exit. And
01:15
We call that the tango close.
01:17
And we can use it at the end of other steps as well. Whoops.
01:20
It's okay. And so now if we look at the followers part in
01:24
that cross, as we take that step to that cross right here.
01:34
One more time. So notice that it just slots in.
01:37
And importantly, notice that her toes are even,
01:40
I made it. Yay.
01:41
01:43
One more time just because we were a little out of camera.
01:48
Uh, scoot forward towards me there. Here.
01:52
So once again, slots in
01:55
toes even she's on the ball of her foot.
01:57
And then we exit together.
01:59
So that's for the followers
02:01
and then for the leaders, uh, I want you to imagine that,
02:05
uh, this, actually, let's do it with this angle
02:08
that this happens, uh, this cross,
02:11
because she's over here to one side of you.
02:13
You go one, two steps forward,
02:15
and then as you shift up, you rotate back
02:18
to front. It's, and
02:19
At the same time he's doing that, we're rotating de face.
02:22
So ideally we mirror the rotation.
02:27
So let's show it one last time.
