- In this first variation of pheno, I'm putting my feet
- 00:05
- between her so that it gets trapped
- 00:08
- Between my two feet.
- 00:10
- Thank you. And then in the second,
- 00:13
- the foot's gonna go on the outside
- 00:16
- And I'm gonna make connection with my hin or my ankle
- 00:19
- before I step over.
- 00:21
- Um, most of the time we'll be teaching.
- 00:23
- The second though, I like
- 00:26
- to break Reno down into three pieces.
- 00:28
- First piece is side step, and then a pivot. Second piece,
- 00:33
- I step over and it's just a normal step except
- 00:36
- that it's a little bit longer than it would feel natural.
- 00:40
- And I stay aware of his space between us the whole time.
- 00:44
- And then finally, we pivot to face, um,
- 00:48
- talking about each of those moments.
- 00:50
- For this first moment, this pivot, she's on our axis.
- 00:53
- She's balanced. Her arms are living.
- 00:54
- See our video video on pivots. Yeah.
- 00:57
- And then for this next piece, it's about how my hips
- 01:01
- and low back drive the pivot.
- 01:03
- And I don't focus straight ahead.
- 01:05
- I focus kind of with my energy about him
- 01:08
- and about the space between us.
- 01:10
- When I step over, it's just a normal step except
- 01:13
- that I'm reaching a little bit longer
- 01:14
- and on this circle around us
- 01:16
- Staying close, not losing the space between us.
- 01:19
- And then finally,
- 01:21
- The pivot to face for me is the, the reward
- 01:24
- for the p for the freo. Sort of.
- 01:26
- So showing that, uh, just a couple of times
- 01:28
- so you can follow along.
