Back Ocho - Intro
None
- 00:20
- Those are called back OCHO
- 00:22
- because we make a figure eight on the floor with our feet
- 00:26
- and we call them back OCHO
- 00:28
- because I, we start them with the followers stepping back.
- 00:31
- And OCHO is, is is eight in Spanish?
- 00:34
- Yeah. Well, I'm telling them mice things here you
- 00:37
- Are Definitely, they may not
- 00:38
- be fluent in Spanish like you,
- 00:41
- The technique for back OCHO is pretty much the same
- 00:45
- as the technique for front OCHO when,
- 00:48
- and the same thing can be said vice versa.
- 00:53
- So same thing. Step solid over the bowl of the foot.
- 00:58
- Go be on your axis before you pivot.
- 01:00
- Um, with back ocho you wanna make sure as a follower
- 01:03
- that you pivot all the way so
- 01:06
- that you can step back quite close to the leader
- 01:09
- And let's show you that.
- 01:11
- And uh, and there's also a video called
- 01:13
- pivot intro or something like that.
- 01:14
- Yes. And all the videos about
- 01:15
- pivoting will help you here as well.
- 01:17
- Yeah, that's a good idea. So it starts side,
- 01:19
- then the leader pivots the follower.
- 01:22
- Follower helps augment that pivot. So you get enough pivot.
- 01:24
- And then once it finishes, then you step,
- 01:27
- And it's really quite a lot of pivot for the follower so
- 01:30
- that I can step close to the leader.
- 01:33
- And so if we show you that at another angle
- 01:35
- along this line, the risk do wrong is
- 01:39
- that it doesn't pivot enough.
- 01:40
- And then when she goes to step, it gets f far away
- 01:42
- and then one of us falls off balance
- 01:44
- And it's not gonna be me. Well,
- 01:46
- It's not gonna, well it's not gonna be.
- 01:47
- Yeah, yeah. Then you just get into a fight,
- 01:49
- which is also not a winning combination in tango.
- 01:52
- So there's plenty of pivots so
- 01:54
- that at the end you start end at the same distance.
- 01:56
- You start at huge pivot,
- 01:58
- let the pivot finish and then you go.
- 02:04
- And the same thing is true for Be OCHO Pro Ocho.
- 02:07
- Ideally, we're moving together with our legs and our bodies.
- 02:11
- And so if we show that, uh, just breaking it into pieces,
- 02:14
- because I realize we we're talking about all the technique
- 02:16
- and we haven't taught the step.
- 02:17
- So you'll learn it backwards.
- 02:18
- You'll learn how to do it
- 02:19
- perfectly and then you'll learn how to do it. The
- 02:21
- Three pieces are very similar to the front OCHO
- 02:24
- Side leader changes.
- 02:25
- And then we have pivot step,
- 02:31
- pivot step,
- 02:34
- pivot step.
- 02:38
- So that's two. And then the end is three.
- 02:41
- So just, and leaders change this weight again.
- 02:43
- So just showing those three pieces for the leaders.
- 02:45
- Leaders you have side change, weight pivot, that's part one.
- 02:50
- And then, and then that was pivot and step.
- 02:53
- Pivot and step it. And what are your feet doing?
- 02:55
- They're stepping side to side.
- 02:58
- And at the end you face
- 03:00
- and leader changes white showing the same thing again.
- 03:04
- Uh, but for the followers, once again, same as front achos,
- 03:07
- a side step, and then you wait.
- 03:10
- Big difference is that balance is more of an issue.
- 03:13
- And once again, pivot step, pivot step, pivot step.
- 03:18
- Don't run them together. Make sure that the steps finish
- 03:21
- before the pivots begin.
