[00:00] We're having a lot of issues with the leads and their weight transfers and their hip movements weren't super clear.
[00:05] So I want you to think we're combining two different hip movements.
[00:08] I want you to think like sharp hips like I did during warm ups.
[00:12] We just go sharp, sharp, sharp. And then we add a pendulum later.
[00:16] I want you to play with both of these. I don't only want you to go sharp, sharp, sharp, nor really like rounded.
[00:21] I want to make sure of both. So you kind of use the pendulum to then sharp.
[00:25] Pendulum to then sharp. And your weight transfer.
[00:28] I want you to use the bolero to kind of get into it, especially for today's combo.
[00:32] You're going breathing up and drop. One, two, three, five, six, seven.
[00:38] Yep. Now, and for my follow up. I thought you guys disconnect from this frame right here.
[00:43] So every time I tried breathing up, I couldn't get into bolero because essentially your hand was floating on top of me.
[00:47] So there was no connection. So make sure you're resting there.
[00:50] Okay. So we did a basic first. We did one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[00:58] And one, two, three, five, six, seven.
[01:02] Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
[01:04] There we did. One, two, three, four.
[01:08] Now, for my legs. All I'm doing is a rock step. All I'm going is left and place left tap.
[01:14] My left hand is doing a circle around and combing.
[01:19] And my right hand is dropping from the scapula down to your hip.
[01:23] And then on the last two counts, I tuck in my hip to go like this.
[01:28] I'm going this. So, one more time. I'm going one, two, three, four. In.
[01:35] For my legs. Don't really pull your follow too much here.
[01:39] I was having a couple of legs really sink in and pull me with this hand, which was causing me to then drop my weight.
[01:44] I said earlier during class that I don't want the follows to drop their weight.
[01:47] In order to prevent this, only allow them to go as far as they stretch. Yeah?
[01:51] So, right here. We're going to pop up. Over.
[01:55] Now, for my legs. I weight transfer to my right step and I have weight for her pendulum.
[02:01] When she's right here, then I go down, follow the pendulum and follow.
[02:05] You look for that connection. We do line wave and we tilt.
[02:08] From right here. We're going to do a spin, doon, doon, doon, and finish.
[02:13] We make sure she finishes her head roll so we don't do a basic and like crash into it.
[02:18] From right here, for my legs. I'm going step, drawing a small circle around.
[02:24] Step, tap, and head roll five, six, seven, eight.
[02:28] When I do this movement, I step without my follow.
[02:31] When I step, I go like this.
[02:33] Circle, circle, and let her finish, finish.
[02:35] Then I place my hand on my shoulder.
[02:37] Walk around and over, okay?
[02:40] What can you do for your follow?
[02:42] Uh, yeah.
[02:43] Here, try to look for extra points of connection for both my legs.
[02:47] If you see your follow is holding up their frame, try to meet her halfway because you don't want the follow to lose her neck.
[02:52] And like have to push up in order to find you.
[02:54] Try to meet each other halfway.
[02:56] So follow, kind of respect your own frame.
[02:58] Push down your shoulders always.
[03:00] And then once we do the lateral wave to here, remember to fully engage your frame for my follow specifically.
[03:06] And then leads, do not lose tension when you spin because this is like when I need your support the most.
[03:11] This is not an easy spin, so I don't want you just almost feeling like you let her go.
[03:16] Yeah?
[03:17] So for my follow, really engage.
[03:18] Hold your position.
[03:19] Spin, spin, spin.
[03:20] When you finish, now you can finish your head roll.
[03:23] And we're ready to go to that.
[03:25] So here, try to look at your hand and follow it.
[03:29] Yeah?
[03:30] So if this is too hard, either one of those can just be a regular spin.
[03:33] I do a little faster, from this, okay.
[03:35] okay five six seven eight and one two three five six seven and one two three
[03:44] four five six seven two four five six seven two four five six seven
[03:55] good music
