Small Pivot - What to Practice - Leader
None
- 00:01
- For the leaders.
- 00:02
- Again, this is about taking your energy through her body
- 00:06
- and doing it with a shift of your weight, meaning
- 00:10
- that right here, as I do this, I feel my back arm
- 00:12
- and I feel her hold and my left arm going
- 00:17
- through her body as I shift.
- 00:24
- And super subtle right there.
- 00:27
- The energy went before I started,
- 00:29
- the energy went down towards the ball of her right foot,
- 00:32
- right here, this little bit, chick, chick.
- 00:37
- And I can feel that, Can I feel it going to the ball
- 00:40
- of her right foot as I shift.
- 00:43
- And you want, and, and different thought is,
- 00:44
- can you keep her on her axis?
- 00:46
- Oh yeah. So as, as you shift,
- 00:48
- you might feel, oh, she's leaning off.
- 00:50
- What do you do? You rock back to your heel.
- 00:52
- Um, as an well rock back to, oh, sorry. Rock, rock.
- 00:55
- Back to your, so for example,
- 00:56
- as I, uh, you're too early though.
- 00:58
- Sorry. Sorry. So she's on the, the ball of the foot,
- 01:00
- and then as I shift, maybe it goes off balance.
- 01:02
- Whoop. You see it's off balance.
- 01:04
- Now watch, I'll say, well, let me shift the ball
- 01:06
- to my heel. Oh, this
- 01:07
- Is so cool. That was
- 01:09
- Really cool, right? So your,
- 01:10
- your foot has some length
- 01:11
- and you can use that length to keep her on the ball
- 01:14
- of the foot, which will then keep it feeling easy.
- 01:16
- That requires that you guys really listen to each other.
- 01:19
- And so then, uh, what do you practice?
- 01:22
- Practice number one, super subtle.
- 01:26
- Can you have this little tiny motion?
- 01:29
- Let's do a, a closeup
- 01:30
- and in that little tiny motion feel when you hit the
- 01:33
- resistance, so that we're here,
- 01:36
- and I'll do, if I pivot her the other way,
- 01:38
- I'll do this little tiny motion
- 01:40
- and I'll say, click, there it is.
- 01:42
- So it's giving and then it stops.
- 01:44
- And then we can do a pivot.
- 01:48
- Um, uh, other thought, remember you,
- 01:53
- you wanna do it with a shift of your weight.
- 01:55
- So that's me shifting weight from left foot to right foot.
- 01:58
- Notice the top isn't doing a whole lot. Um, don't do it.
- 02:01
- Facing the camera, do it facing your partner,
- 02:03
- unlike the, unlike me right now.
- 02:05
- Um, but nonetheless, as I do that,
- 02:07
- it's not my top that's moving.
- 02:10
- It's the shift of my hips
- 02:12
- and the facing of my feet. That makes
- 02:14
- It really easy for the follower.
