Basic & Ocho - Overturned Ochos in Basic
None
- 00:19
- Okay.
- 00:20
- So that's an example of what we can do with those shows
- 00:23
- that isn't basic.
- 00:25
- It isn't beginner, it's quite advanced and it's difficult,
- 00:28
- but it's worth the worth getting.
- 00:31
- And the first moment is this stutter step cross.
- 00:34
- Well, the first, uh, complicated moment right here is this
- 00:37
- stutter step cross, which is a cross
- 00:39
- and a partial weight shift.
- 00:40
- And then you change your mind. So I
- 00:42
- Actually commit my weight a little bit to my left foot.
- 00:46
- And then it's something like the ocho cortado where I step
- 00:49
- around him and then I cross.
- 00:50
- No, I don't. Then I go back and then I cross
- 00:54
- The, the next moment, uh,
- 00:57
- after that, well, let's get there, da da da right here.
- 01:02
- This is a huge over
- 01:04
- and I should ideally be closer to her,
- 01:05
- is a huge over pivoted back o show. So
- 01:08
- I need to let my left arm slide all the way around him
- 01:13
- and then slide out.
- 01:17
- Um, and the idea, the idea is, is if
- 01:21
- she's just walking backwards straight in line with me,
- 01:24
- with her left foot, right?
- 01:25
- So if we just do this with my right foot
- 01:28
- or uh, going back left and then forward
- 01:33
- and so she can go back and even gimme a tiny bit
- 01:35
- of pressure and collect her feet.
- 01:37
- Yeah. And this is how it should feel.
- 01:41
- You can practice it this way. And then when we get here,
- 01:50
- ta ta right here.
- 01:52
- There's this sense of going back and catching or forward
- 01:56
- and catching and you can feel the way
- 02:01
- that the shift of the weight
- 02:03
- and the collection of the feet
- 02:06
- gives it a certain extra dynamic.
- 02:08
- And then you have the same thing here
- 02:10
- where there's this forward and back,
- 02:12
- and then at the end of the forward
- 02:13
- and back you say, well forward and we'll turn extra.
- 02:24
- Try it with us, Have fun.
- 02:27
- And also play with that, that idea
- 02:29
- of those mirrored positions, just so you can feel the,
- 02:31
- the s**t, the give and take of weight.
