- You can do the frame in lots of ways,
- 00:02
- you can do the one we've been doing.
- 00:06
- But you can also, as a leader, that is go way deeper
- 00:10
- and notice how my, uh,
- 00:12
- right foot is on the other side of her left foot.
- 00:16
- And when he does it like that of
- 00:17
- Her right Foot, when he does it like that, we have
- 00:18
- to pivot a lot to be able to get
- 00:21
- Over. So instead of being
- 00:22
- here, you're here,
- 00:23
- but that requires that your bodies be
- 00:25
- closer, show you that again.
- 00:32
- You can also say, well, I'm going to be in between her feet
- 00:36
- rather than outside.
- 00:39
- Um, you could say, let's do that with the other foot.
- 00:44
- And if we're doing it with the other foot,
- 00:46
- notice the way the, the knee, the knee
- 00:48
- is down rather than up
- 00:49
- because you don't wanna block her thigh right here over,
- 00:52
- she can walk over, get over right here.
- 00:54
- There's plenty of room. So what's the point?
- 00:58
- You can do either leg, either to either foot,
- 01:00
- and you can do the other side as well.
- 01:03
- So you can say, oh, why don't we do this leg?
- 01:05
- Or ah, actually we meant this leg.
- 01:07
- No, no, no, we meant this position.
- 01:09
- No, no, no, we meant that position.
- 01:11
- The point is there's a lot of variety available.
- 01:14
- So then as you're dancing in any arbitrary motion moment
- 01:16
- as you're doing things, you might say, oh, right here,
- 01:20
- I could do a freo or a freo.
- 01:22
- Or maybe we're going on and maybe this should be a freo.
- 01:27
- Right? So you can put it in, in lots of different ways.
- 01:30
- And for the followers, I think one key thing is not
- 01:32
- to go too far from the leader
- 01:34
- and then for the leaders, make sure the follower has, uh,
- 01:36
- warning, you know, you don't want to trip them.
- 01:38
- Let them feel your foot, give them a little bit
- 01:40
- of advanced notice for
- 01:42
- The leaders experiment.
- 01:43
- It's way fun. You can just try different things
- 01:45
- and see what works for you.
