- And that's the first lunge we teach.
- 00:13
- And I really quite like it.
- 00:15
- So for the leader, it's side trap, right?
- 00:19
- So the first piece with your feet as you go side through,
- 00:23
- and that through lets you touch in between her feet
- 00:26
- And you wanna touch to her landing
- 00:28
- leg so she can collect
- 00:32
- And followers, you're just bringing your feet together
- 00:33
- like you always do when you end up hugging his foot.
- 00:36
- And then after that, for the leaders, you're gonna rotate.
- 00:38
- So pushed down and rotate to your right
- 00:40
- and followers, you, you'll have a small
- 00:42
- lunge and then it comes up
- 00:47
- And I stay connected around his foot
- 00:49
- and follow his foot as it goes back.
- 00:53
- And the, the key thought for the leaders
- 00:57
- is don't throw her off balance.
- 00:58
- Like followers don't like falling most of the time.
- 01:02
- So then as we're so let me do wrong,
- 01:04
- but without holding her, I
- 01:05
- mean I didn't have an invisible partner.
- 01:07
- And I say to my invisible partner, go over here.
- 01:10
- Well the problem is her, she's standing over there.
- 01:12
- So that's called falling. It is, right?
- 01:14
- So if she's standing right here, how much can you move her?
- 01:19
- You can move her that much. Maybe two inches maybe.
- 01:24
- So you're here say, oh well don't you lunge.
- 01:27
- Notice how small the rotation in my body is.
- 01:33
- And that's because she's staying mostly on her right leg.
- 01:42
- Do you have anything wise to tell the followers,
- 01:45
- Stay tall, stay to your partner.
- 01:47
- If you're very wanting to be dramatic, you can,
- 01:51
- you can go down even further.
- 01:54
- It's about what happens between us.
- 01:57
- Yeah. And then you'll see more in later videos.
- 01:59
- But there's also awareness of line of dance.
- 02:01
- So you don't wanna block too many lanes.
