Drag - Advanced Combo with Back Sacada
None
- 00:00
- And this is a combination, I think is really cool,
- 00:05
- having the bta, uh, the drag to a bta.
- 00:10
- And so this is super hard and we haven't taught bta, right?
- 00:14
- And it's a funny drag, but first I'll turn her around me
- 00:19
- and pivot myself more.
- 00:21
- And now I'm dragging with my left leg as I'm turning away.
- 00:25
- And then I'm secting as it goes through.
- 00:28
- And let's do a, a foot shot for that.
- 00:30
- But once again, even though I'm doing a foot shot, the,
- 00:34
- the most important thing is the turn of the hips.
- 00:37
- So once again, as she steps side, I pivot
- 00:42
- and I can grab her back foot, just what, show that again
- 00:45
- or her trailing leg.
- 00:47
- And then as I turn more, I'm, instead
- 00:50
- of collecting, I'm pushing her foot.
- 00:52
- And it's very important we keep our own axis
- 00:55
- and don't pull him over there.
- 00:58
- And then from here, I push it just a little ways,
- 01:02
- and then the body takes over for her forward step,
- 01:05
- and I grab the back cta.
- 01:09
- When we do that cta, we want, when we step forward for
- 01:11
- that cta, we want our right foot to be turned out as much as
- 01:16
- possible, which is a little bit
- 01:17
- difficult from this position.
- 01:20
- Um, and then for the followers, as you're doing this,
- 01:23
- uh, I'll be the follower.
- 01:25
- Uh, you can just stand there. It's okay. She looks at me.
- 01:27
- You're crazy, David. I'm not doing that.
- 01:29
- Sure. Not. Um, as I step,
- 01:32
- so I'll step side in the circle around,
- 01:34
- the leader will grab my free leg,
- 01:36
- and when it's dragged, be careful of cutting too close.
- 01:39
- If I'm stepping too close to her foot
- 01:41
- or to my leader's foot, he won't have room, right?
- 01:44
- So you'll feel his body open out
- 01:46
- and you'll say, oh, it's stepping a little bit further away.
- 01:51
- So let's show that from this angle.
- 01:53
- So we have this, and then right here, instead
- 01:56
- of her foot stepping close to me,
- 01:57
- show stepping close right there.
- 01:59
- When she shifts, she'll knock me over.
- 02:01
- We won't have shared space.
- 02:03
- Instead, there's a sense of a little bit of space.
- 02:06
- You see the room? So let's show that full body shot again.
- 02:10
- Now,
- 02:24
- I think it should end with a lean, but that's,
- 02:27
- Yeah, it should actually.
- 02:28
- But instead, so there's this, you know, this now,
- 02:32
- next moment I shift.
- 02:34
- As I shift, she comes up
- 02:37
- and then I'm just stepping around. And she's facing.
- 02:41
- And we hugging. And we're hugging.
- 02:43
- Then we can Laugh. We have a tradition
- 02:45
- of bowing at the end, but maybe we'll start a
- 02:47
- tradition of hugging at the end.
- 02:48
- We should do both.
