Small Pivot - Advanced Subtly
None
- 00:12
- Yeah, no, that was very nice.
- 00:13
- And so then what just happened?
- 00:15
- And it's almost invisible because it's so small.
- 00:18
- You have all of these small, beautiful,
- 00:20
- wonderful pivots, and I'm gonna call you.
- 00:22
- We have, at the beginning, I shift her weight
- 00:25
- and she turns her hips back of the form so
- 00:27
- that her leg can get to the other side.
- 00:30
- She goes to the ball of the foot. I shift around her.
- 00:33
- There's this wonderful pivot.
- 00:35
- Then there's more pivot again, so she can go outside.
- 00:37
- Partner, we step, and then here our hips are not in line.
- 00:41
- Another adjustment. And we go through.
- 00:46
- So then if I'm doing the followers part, for the followers,
- 00:49
- you have the sense of, I think, weight shift, hip turn,
- 00:56
- one more time, weight shift, hip turn.
- 00:59
- Then you walk forward going to the ball of the foot. So
- 01:01
- The hip turn is so we can fit through to the side of him
- 01:05
- After you go forward to the ball of the foot,
- 01:07
- then there's this first pivot to face.
- 01:08
- And then even more pivot.
- 01:10
- So you can get your hips outside,
- 01:12
- but you wanna be cautious of, of that se Second pivot, uh,
- 01:16
- let's start over here, da da da da.
- 01:18
- Right here, this second pivot that even as the hips go on,
- 01:21
- your, your torso still yearns towards your leader.
- 01:24
- See how she still turned to her? Right?
- 01:28
- And then right here, let's square off.
- 01:34
- And that feels divine, even though it's very subtle, that
- 01:37
- Little tiny squaring off.
- 01:38
- And then there can be this sigh into the step forward
- 01:40
- for the follower, back to the leader.
- 01:42
- And it's a really meaningful moment.
- 01:44
- So watching the feet,
- 01:55
- super small pivot, small pivot.
- 01:58
- Again, first pivot to face.
- 02:02
- Second pivot to get outside, partner.
- 02:07
- And then, oh, let's have the feet square up.
