[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, hold. And up.
[01:16] Basic, basic, basic, basic step. Part more work. We did the sliding doors.
[01:25] 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 to put them together with the first styling.
[01:57] Cross, çekata, çekata.
[01:59] Second, first styling was ladies' arms and gentleman's turn, right?
[02:04] Simple back turn. Ladies' arms simple back.
[02:09] Turn you choose your side.
[02:11] how you want to turn.
[02:12] Boom.
[02:13] Boom.
[02:14] Chuk-ta.
[02:15] Boom.
[02:15] Bam.
[02:16] Re-quinto step.
[02:17] Here.
[02:18] Left.
[02:19] And turn.
[02:20] Forward, forward.
[02:22] Keep moving on.
[02:23] Okay?
[02:23] So, when you style for sliding doors,
[02:26] all we did was our basic step.
[02:28] Basic, basic, basic.
[02:30] Basic, basic.
[02:31] Styling.
[02:32] Footwork.
[02:33] And styling.
[02:34] Back.
[02:35] Turn.
[02:36] Ta-ta-ta.
[02:37] So, this is good for your basic step.
[02:39] It's also good for your sliding doors.
[02:41] The second thing we worked on is just rompe and waves.
[02:44] And then we did the dip.
[02:46] So, we go rompe.
[02:48] Lateral.
[02:49] Wave.
[02:50] And dip.
[02:53] Leg.
[02:54] I let her go, so she styles, support.
[02:58] Basic.
[02:59] Another version, if I actually make it with the arm,
[03:02] let her decorate her arm.
[03:05] One, two, whatever, sorry.
[03:07] One, two, three.
[03:09] Five.
[03:10] Five.
[03:11] Seven.
[03:12] One.
[03:12] Three.
[03:14] Five.
[03:15] Seven.
[03:16] Other version is I pull her arm up.
[03:19] So, we go one, two, three.
[03:22] Five.
[03:23] Seven.
[03:24] Boom.
[03:25] Cross.
[03:26] Hold.
[03:27] Together.
[03:28] At all times, if you saw, my leg was over here,
[03:30] so she can press against you.
[03:32] And I can style it like this.
[03:33] I'm not pinching her, I don't need to do that.
[03:36] And we feel both grounded and supported.
[03:39] If we put all this together, something like this,
[03:41] okay, the turn up too.
[03:43] Turn up.
[03:43] Ladies, when you're doing the turn up,
[03:45] you think you can do the head?
[03:46] No?
[03:47] No.
[03:47] Okay.
[03:48] So, the head turn up, for ladies, you're doing this.
[03:51] So, you're here.
[03:52] One, two, three, four.
[03:55] Five, six, seven, and one.
[03:59] Two, three, four.
[04:01] Five, and six, seven, and eight.
[04:03] One, two, three, four.
[04:06] And then do your finishing turn.
[04:08] So, what happens in that turn up?
[04:10] What we need to do first is make sure that our leg is at our sides as they turn up.
[04:15] So, like, slight drag, slight friction.
[04:17] The other one, when you're ready, like, in a year or two.
[04:22] Cool.
[04:22] For some of you, it's going to be, like, in 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
[04:32] as I am doing this, finishing up this movement, okay?
[04:36] We will do it without the head, but everything together.
[04:38] But if you put it in a combo-ish.
[04:41] Two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
[04:44] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one.
[04:49] Two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one.
[04:53] Two, three, five, seven.
[04:56] One, three, five, seven.
[04:59] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and dunf.
[05:05] All right.
[05:06] Okay, so the wave kick, what I'm doing is in order to do the wave, it's a normal wave, right?
[05:18] But all waves are energized by our legs.
[05:21] I never just stand here pushing my chest forward and back.
[05:24] I contract, my legs are released, my knees are soft.
[05:27] So then I have to push myself with my leg forward.
[05:31] Forward, up, back.
[05:33] Forward, up, back.
[05:35] So in this case, as I'm stepping out, I'm using the same forward, back, but a little bit more energy.
[05:42] Forward, back.
[05:44] So like I'm pushing myself so much that something has to keep going in my body.
[05:50] So as I'm doing, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[05:56] Okay, seven, and keep going.
[06:00] Wave, keep going back.
[06:03] Okay?
[06:04] It's like a kick, like the air ball.
[06:07] 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.
[06:18] And then you would pull yourself back into your lateral step.
[06:23] Yes.
[06:25] Both styles, any styling here always starts with the body.
[06:29] 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.
[06:35] And then we start building upon our energy.
[06:37] Up, down, side to side.
[06:39] Everything is a continuation.
[06:40] All the styling in this course is organic styling.
[06:43] So learn both leaders and followers.
[06:46] And then you have your masculine and feminine ways, I think.
[06:49] You guys want to do one more song together?
[06:50] Well, you guys want to do this.
