- And so that's introducing the drag.
- 00:19
- That also is sort of archetypical tango
- 00:24
- and there are a lot of fun inter communicable
- 00:27
- intercommunication things you can do with it.
- 00:30
- So, so the beginning, uh, leader goes side,
- 00:33
- followers goes side, and the next piece,
- 00:34
- forgetting the drag, is that I turn my feet in my hips
- 00:37
- and she pivots a lot so she can step in the circle around me
- 00:41
- because the trick is that you don't want her to her feet
- 00:44
- to step farther away from me.
- 00:46
- Um, if you look at it from this angle
- 00:50
- right here, the goal is not that she,
- 00:55
- that she steps this way further away from me
- 00:58
- because then, you know, my arm doesn't reach to begin with
- 01:02
- and then when I go to drag, my leg doesn't reach either.
- 01:06
- So, so that's, uh, uh, an unfortunate event
- 01:08
- and she's left me, oh no,
- 01:10
- I would never do that, David.
- 01:11
- And that's why we do the drag this way
- 01:15
- that here it goes in the circle around, which then means
- 01:19
- that she's right here for this.
- 01:26
- So breaking it down a little slower, we have side
- 01:29
- leader pivots on his left foot with the, with both feet,
- 01:33
- with the hips, and with the torso going along.
- 01:35
- And the fall pivots a ton
- 01:37
- and then pivots a little more for her back step.
- 01:40
- And then that leaves room for me to grab her foot.
- 01:44
- And right here, part
- 01:45
- of the trick is just having your own axis, each of you,
- 01:48
- and then dragging through.
- 01:50
- And I'm just gently pushing on her foot
- 01:51
- and she's pushing on mine
- 01:53
- For that long pivot.
- 01:54
- I'm using his hand to help me get extra, pivot it.
- 02:00
- So I'm pulling against his hand as he pulls.
- 02:02
- And she's pushing with her left as well.
- 02:03
- Both arms are helping. Yeah, that's right.
- 02:09
- And then it's a pheno, which you've already done.
