Lengthening Off & Through the Hips - Tango Positions
None
- 00:00
- This is a lunge that you see very often
- 00:02
- and you see it very often just like this.
- 00:05
- And David is really into, down into his hips here.
- 00:09
- And if he just does that same lengthening thing
- 00:13
- that we talked about in the other videos, the end result is
- 00:16
- that there's a lot more integrity in the lunge
- 00:19
- and it looks more beautiful.
- 00:22
- And let's do this again with a closeup of the hips.
- 00:25
- So what I did just then,
- 00:26
- and this is what I really do with the students,
- 00:29
- is I don't go in the way
- 00:30
- I've asked you to do with yourselves.
- 00:32
- I just kind of remind the body that the,
- 00:35
- that there's lengthening available here
- 00:40
- and there's quite a bit of change available.
- 00:44
- And you can see this in all kinds of positions.
- 00:46
- You can see this in all kinds of positions.
- 00:48
- You'll see that in, in that lunge.
- 00:50
- But there are lots of places in Tango where we're, uh,
- 00:53
- with one leg out in transition
- 00:57
- And making that lengthening
- 00:59
- as you step makes it a really more beautiful, the trick to
- 01:03
- that is to start it and then just to keep it.
- 01:05
- So same thing. Let's do it again,
- 01:06
- but let's do it in a rock position.
- 01:09
- So he, let's zoom in.
- 01:12
- So it's, it's the same thing,
- 01:13
- but he, so what the way we we're showing it now we're
- 01:15
- saying, okay, get in the position in lengthen.
- 01:17
- But what I believe is that you can find that length
- 01:20
- and then just keep it while you dance.
