[00:00] Hello dancer! Welcome to your syncopated steps tutorial. First we will break down
[00:04] what syncopation is in general and how to understand what to do as you progress
[00:07] in your journey. Now first of all, you know how in music, even in bachata, we
[00:10] always have eight counts or eight beats. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[00:14] Those are the main beats. Now syncopation is the beats between them or off beats,
[00:18] like midpoints, quarter points, and so on. In today's video we will focus on those
[00:23] off beats, but mostly on the midpoints. For example, bachata rhythm would be step,
[00:28] step, step, tap. As in this case, if I want to syncopate it, I could do something
[00:33] like step, step, step, step, step, tap, or step, tap, step, tap, step, tap. Now here you
[00:38] see two versions. Variation one goes step, tap, step, tap, step, tap, or in other words,
[00:42] quick, quick, quick, quick, normal. And variation number two goes quick, quick, quick,
[00:46] quick, quick, quick, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop. Take your time to understand this
[00:50] concept, but once you get it, you'll never forget it. I have more complex footwork
[00:53] coming your way. Practice this one and I'll see you in the next class. Bye bye!
