Lunging - Leading It
None
- 00:00
- So as you're leading this lunge, you want to start
- 00:02
- with a pre lead that says a little bit down
- 00:04
- under, build up of energy.
- 00:06
- And we're going, if you, uh, look at that close up,
- 00:10
- I don't just say, oh, we go, she's not ready.
- 00:13
- I say, or here, if I do it
- 00:14
- with you, you weren't ready to go.
- 00:16
- Instead I say, and we are, uh, going,
- 00:21
- and then there your partner's ready.
- 00:24
- So that's one thing. Have that pre lead. Whoa.
- 00:26
- And then as you go, you're pulling her, especially
- 00:29
- with your right arm, but the whole thing is aiming her down.
- 00:32
- And in, if it's a back step
- 00:34
- or if it's cross system, you're aiming her to that,
- 00:37
- that diagonal line downwards.
- 00:40
- Um, and then also opening her back leg.
- 00:42
- And notice with my right hand as I do this,
- 00:47
- I don't tilt it in.
- 00:50
- If you do this, that encourages her low back to arch.
- 00:55
- So instead with your right hand, whoa, notice
- 00:59
- that it's still very neutral.
- 01:00
- It's just straight down
- 01:02
- and then you're opening with your elbow
- 01:04
- or with your forearm,
- 01:05
- you're opening her rear leg, whatever side of her body.
- 01:08
- If I'm the follower's rear, so for example, in this position
- 01:13
- right now, my left side is open.
- 01:15
- If I were the leader, I'd be trying to get this leg out
- 01:18
- by opening this side a little bit,
- 01:20
- and that will let this pelvis come underneath.
- 01:25
- Probably the most important thing is pre lead.
- 01:28
- Once again, pre lead says, and we are, ah, going.
- 01:33
- And then you choose your line
- 01:36
- and then you say, let me tilt one side of the, of the arm
- 01:40
- or the other open so she can comfortably extend
- 01:42
- with the other leg.
