[00:00] We began today focusing on generating our weight changes with soft hips.
[00:05] This is super important when we're leading head movement.
[00:08] So, we're working in a frame position.
[00:10] I'm making sure there's a soft bend in my knees, and we just focused on changing our weight without bouncing.
[00:16] And I'm absorbing with each leg, and I'm pushing with the opposite side.
[00:21] I'm decelerating, collecting, and then pushing.
[00:24] And then what we did was we added a bit of an upward push.
[00:28] So, I'm pushing and I'm opening my leg.
[00:30] Pushing and opening my leg.
[00:32] Pushing and opening my leg.
[00:34] Pushing and opening my leg.
[00:36] So, that's our head unlocking preparation and shifting our weight, which is super important for the head movement.
[00:42] Then we worked on the front and back shape of movement.
[00:45] So, when I want my follower's chest to collapse, I'm going to bend my own knees, jumbo shrimp, and there's a drop in my frame.
[00:54] And then I push the ground, and when I want to pull through my chest, I'm opening without my shoulders going up.
[01:01] And then relax.
[01:04] And then push the ground and open.
[01:06] And then we practice doing this in a combination, off of the lateral wave.
[01:09] Here we go.
[01:10] One, two, three, four, five, six.
[01:14] I breathe, and I drop.
[01:16] Swing the hip.
[01:17] Unlocks my follower's head.
[01:19] I go over the edge.
[01:20] And then I collapse.
[01:22] I open.
[01:23] Doing the ball.
[01:24] And then here, I straighten my legs to finish the movement.
[01:29] Now the pattern.
[01:29] So, we started getting into collar position here.
[01:33] One, two, three, four, five, six, 90 degrees.
[01:39] So, the start of the movement is our body roll.
[01:42] Our regular body roll ends with the back axis of my follower.
[01:47] If I want to unlock my follower's torso, I want to drop sooner than that.
[01:52] And we started with a cambré at first.
[01:54] Flat.
[01:55] Right?
[01:55] 90 degrees.
[01:56] Then if I want to change it into a one-legged head roll, I unlock and I open back.
[02:02] And then I draw a circle on one leg.
[02:05] And then I straighten.
[02:07] Now, the longer combination.
[02:09] I go up.
[02:10] Down.
[02:12] Unlock.
[02:13] Open.
[02:13] I draw the circle.
[02:14] Here, I weight change.
[02:15] I open my own lung.
[02:17] And then as my follower finishes this movement, I shift to my follower's shoulder blade to help
[02:23] with the weight change.
[02:24] And then I move my other arm to replace it.
[02:27] And then I'm using my own weight change and opening my right lung for the body roll.
[02:32] Then we practice doing our body rolls here, feeling where our follower's axis is.
[02:35] And then when I'm ready to change it into a hip roll, I move the energy back.
[02:40] I weight change and breathe to finish the movement.
[02:42] One time at last.
[02:43] Five, six, here we go.
[02:45] And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[02:49] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
[02:53] And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
[02:57] And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
[03:01] One.
[03:02] Okay, good music.
[03:03] Have a song.
[03:04] One.
[03:04] Right now.
