Lucio Arce has an authentic caberet feeling to his guitar playing and singing. There are overtones, sometimes, of jazz and playfulness.

00:10
Comments: the dancing starts immediately. The core is engaged.
00:13
If you turn it a little bit, Malakai. This is not a part of the easy sit.
00:17
Turn it more, more, more. It's your backs to me.
00:19
And you'll see the tightness in her thighs, and the arch in her back. Which is very nice.
00:24
His legs are flat. You can rest for a second.
00:27
One thing I didn't talk about, which I should have. If we show to this camera.
00:31
I guess, it won't reach in that camera. So, we show to this camera.
00:35
I don't want the leaders to think, "You pull in". It's not rah. You know, on her rib cage. Poor girl.
00:40
It's... You come, underneath the rib cage. You know, that sort of meaty part where there's nothing to hurt.
00:47
And then, the goal is not to crunch in, but just enough to pick her up.
00:52
So, for the leaders: just in, just enough to pick her up. For the followers,
00:57
Right. From the beginning.
01:01
How do I say this?
01:02
I want you to really stabilize a lot. So, you're pushing down, but you're also stabilizing. And slowly, engaging.
01:09
He's like, "Man, David is heavy compared to Jessica". Which is true.
01:14
Malakai's strong, it's OK. One more time.
01:24
Nice. Very nice. Because of the deliberateness of the start, and engagement in the centers.
01:29
Thighs come close, tight.
01:33
Right now, I'd like you to show the sense that you can really come underneath the follower.
01:36
To grab, to pick up. So, the thighs can also do a lot of the work.
01:40
He's like, "I don't need to do that". It's true, he doesn't. But it's very useful.
01:45
So, you see the underneath. He grabs. And then, the body helps pick her up.
