Front Ochos - What to Practice
None
- 00:00
- We wanna take a very small detail for us
- 00:02
- to work on about front out shows,
- 00:05
- because as long when we work on the the key piece,
- 00:08
- then the whole thing will flow better and we learn deeper.
- 00:12
- And unfortunately we're picking a few key pieces,
- 00:14
- but we'll do that and that's okay.
- 00:16
- Um, so first you let the shift weight shift
- 00:21
- all the way, you let it quiet
- 00:25
- and then you pivot all the way.
- 00:27
- So there's this sense that of this weight shift, wait
- 00:29
- for it to finish there.
- 00:30
- You let it quiet and then you pivot all the way.
- 00:33
- So that's actually just one thing
- 00:35
- that we're talking about.
- 00:36
- Every time we step, we wanna get over the ball of our foot
- 00:40
- and then establish that axis before we try to move again.
- 00:46
- Um, so I'm going, you, you lead me once
- 00:48
- and I'm gonna show not getting there
- 00:49
- and needing to wait longer.
- 00:51
- So we go. So for example, right here, I'm not there yet,
- 00:56
- so it's not time
- 00:57
- to pivot instead will keep bringing me forward.
- 01:00
- We'll keep bringing me
- 01:01
- forward, we'll keep bringing me forward.
- 01:03
- And then maybe I'm still, oh, the balance is hard
- 01:05
- and I'm oscillating and we'll wait for it to quiet.
- 01:08
- And now we can pivot.
- 01:11
- So you really wanna pay attention are
- 01:15
- for both the followers and the leaders.
- 01:16
- Is she all the way over? Has it quieted?
- 01:20
- Then pivot all the way.
- 01:22
- And that's something the leaders can play with.
- 01:24
- Also finding, helping her find her axis.
- 01:27
- Um, now next idea is that there's a, an instinct
- 01:30
- to use the arms too much and, and it,
- 01:33
- and there's an instinct to say, oh, I want to pivot her.
- 01:37
- This is, no, it's not good.
- 01:40
- Um, so the pivot really comes, um,
- 01:45
- well it depends on your paradigm,
- 01:46
- but in, in my, my current paradigm
- 01:47
- and I've gone through a few phases, it,
- 01:49
- it changes every few years.
- 01:50
- And I have, oh no, I'm more aligned, enlightened.
- 01:52
- And what I thought four years ago was, was not right.
- 01:56
- And it's changed now a few times.
- 01:58
- Um, but in my current best paradigm we have
- 02:01
- that you'll notice there's a little bit of movement
- 02:06
- in my hips and in my hand.
- 02:08
- And it was that much, it was so subtle.
- 02:10
- Looking inside you, how much is my hand moving?
- 02:13
- So if you watch right here with my hip, uh, mom,
- 02:17
- can you put your hand here just as a landmark?
- 02:19
- So there's her hand. And if I wanted to pivot someone,
- 02:26
- do you see that slight movement right here?
- 02:30
- It's so subtle. And that slight movement through my hips
- 02:34
- and low back goes through the arm
- 02:37
- and then creates pressure and crosses her to move. It
- 02:39
- Really makes a pivot for the follower a lot easier.
- 02:42
- And then for her, i I, she finds the pressure going
- 02:45
- through her body and it's that pressure
- 02:47
- that's moving her rather than a massive amount
- 02:51
- of movement in the hand.
- 02:53
- Yeah, there's movement, but it's subtle.
