Weight Changes - Intro
None
- 00:00
- Weight shifts are a really wonderful,
- 00:02
- magical piece of tango.
- 00:04
- And to start with, all the leader has
- 00:06
- to do is hold the follower and then excruciatingly slowly.
- 00:10
- And I really mean this excruciatingly slowly shift
- 00:14
- from one foot to the other,
- 00:18
- Or a side view you, you're welcome.
- 00:21
- Do, I
- 00:26
- guess this is inside you, this is front you
- 00:28
- back, you. That's okay.
- 00:30
- And they can be used for a lot of different things.
- 00:33
- They can be used as a way of relating to the music.
- 00:36
- They can be way used as a way of communicating
- 00:39
- with the music, doing something a little counterintuitive
- 00:43
- to what the music's doing.
- 00:45
- They can be used to travel across the floor.
- 00:47
- They can be used to, to have a pause in the dancing,
- 00:52
- either because the music is allowing it or
- 00:55
- because the leader needs to desperately of what to do next.
- 00:58
- And David's really good at showing that.
- 01:00
- Do weight shifts and show that. Okay.
- 01:03
- Uh, I think the image is something like this.
- 01:07
- And actually it starts with asking the woman to dance.
- 01:09
- And you ask her to dance. Absolutely.
- 01:11
- And, and you embrace and you say, oh no. Uh oh.
- 01:14
- I have to do something. I know they
- 01:16
- taught me something in class.
- 01:17
- Wait, I should stand taller. You have beautiful eyes today.
- 01:21
- Thank you. Right now, hopefully she thinks about
- 01:25
- how passionately I feel in music.
- 01:28
- I think you taught me a basic, and then you go,
- 01:34
- I.
