[00:00] Today's footwork was cross behind. We started super, super simple. Basic. We go one, cross behind, three, four.
[00:08] When you're comfortable with this cross behind, you can start improvising. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[00:18] Same thing we did with the cuadrado. Just cross behind on the one, on the first side. One, two, three, four.
[00:26] Keep it basic here or you can cross forward. You can go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[00:34] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Basic. Okay?
[00:40] So this is your cross behind. Use it in different basic steps. You can go one, two, three, and four, five.
[00:46] Just get it into your body. Today's styling bit is the praying knot, whatever you call it.
[00:54] I call it a fountain weight because it's like a fountain. So praying position. Up, across your body for ladies.
[01:03] Up, and literally off your neck, and then open for a gentleman. We're doing it with the hips.
[01:09] Figure eight. Ba, ka, ta, ka, da, da. Da, da with arms. Now. Open and up.
[01:16] Doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop. Basic, basic, basic, basic step.
[01:22] Part of the work, we did the sliding doors. So, super easy sliding doors. The first one. Practice this on both sides.
[01:29] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one.
[01:40] Exit. Go around your lady, collect. One, two. Second sliding doors. We did only a kinto step.
[01:48] If you want, put them together with the first styling.
[01:51] Boom. Jump, ka, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta.
[01:56] Boom. Cross, check, ta, ta, boom. Second, third styling was ladies' arms and gentlemen's turn, right?
[02:03] Simple back. Simple back. Turn. Ladies' arms. Simple back. Turn. You can choose your side.
[02:11] How you want to turn. Boom, boom, boom, cha, ta, ta, boom, bam.
[02:16] Re kinto step here. Left and turn. Forward, forward, keep moving on.
[02:23] Okay? So, when you style for sliding doors, all we did was our basic step.
[02:28] Basic, basic, basic, basic, basic styling.
[02:31] Footwork and styling. Back, turn, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta.
[02:37] So, this is good for your basic step. It's also good for your sliding doors.
[02:40] The second thing we worked on is just rompe and waves.
[02:44] And then we did the dip. So, we go rompe. Lateral, wave.
[02:50] And dip. Leg. I let her go so she styles, support. Basic.
[02:58] Another version, if I actually make it with the arm, let her decorate her arm.
[03:05] One, two, or whatever, sorry. One, two, three, five, seven.
[03:11] One, three, five, seven.
[03:15] Boom. Cross, hold, together. At all times, if you saw, my leg was over here so she can press against you.
[03:31] And I can style it like this. I'm not pinching her. I don't need to do that.
[03:34] And we feel both grounded and supported. If we put all this together, something like this.
[03:41] Open the turn up, too. Turn up. Ladies, when you're doing the turn up, you think you can do the head?
[03:46] No. No? No. Okay. So, the head turn up. For ladies, you're doing this. So, you're here.
[03:52] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one, two, three, four, five, and six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, and then do your finishing turn.
[04:08] So, what happens in that turn up, what we need to do first is make sure that our leg is at our sides as they turn us.
[04:15] Like, slight drag, slight friction. The other one, when you're ready, like, in a year or two.
[04:22] Cool. For some of you, it's going to be, like, you know, a few months.
[04:25] But at the end, I will collect and then back to basic.
[04:29] This helps a lot because leader stabilizes me and there's something to press as I am doing this, finishing up this movement, okay?
[04:35] Okay. We will do it without the head, but everything together. If we put it in a combo-ish.
[04:40] Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one, two, three, five, seven, one, three, five, seven, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and two, five.
[05:04] All right. Cheers.
[05:06] Can you do it? Here we go. Huh?
[05:08] The kick, please.
[05:09] The what? The kick.
[05:10] Oh, the wave.
[05:11] Okay, so the wave kick, what I'm doing is, in order to do the wave, it's a normal wave, right?
[05:17] But all waves are energized by our legs. I never just stand here pushing my chest forward and back.
[05:23] I contract, my legs are released, my knees are soft. So then I have to push myself with my leg forward, forward, up, back.
[05:33] Forward, up, back. So in this case, as I'm stepping out, I'm using the same forward, back, but a little bit more energy.
[05:41] Forward, forward, back. So like I'm pushing myself so much that my leg, something has to keep going in my body.
[05:49] So as I'm doing, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay? Seven, and keep going. Wave, keep going back. Okay?
[06:03] It's like a kick, like the air ball. And it's also like a kick, like you need to lift something and kick it over there.
[06:10] A little bit cleaner if you pull your toes down and not do it like this.
[06:16] But like this. And then you would pull yourself back into your lateral step. Yes.
[06:24] Both styles, any styling here always starts with the body. We want to make sure that we are poised.
[06:31] When we want to do a picture perfect for like more aesthetically pleasing styling. And then we start building upon our energy.
[06:37] Up, down, side to side, everything is a continuation. All the styling in this course is organic styling.
[06:43] So learn both leaders and followers and then you have your masculine and feminine ways, I think.
