[00:00] Like you will forget. Yeah. So okay tell us Erica exactly what I remember from what Maria showed us was I need my assistant.

[00:15] So okay first she reminded me about my frame, keeping my frame a little bit in front of me as

[00:21] opposed to like right here like I tend to do right from behind my body and in this open position the

[00:29] information is coming through the palms. Okay relax on my shoulders. What else? Okay so frame and then I

[00:39] think the biggest takeaway for me was for this whole diagonal step that it's like all about stepping or

[00:46] like pushing up against the ground. So like instead of me thinking about like oh I'm trying to like

[00:50] rotate my hips it's now I'm pushing off the ground and like through doing that my hips rotate by

[00:58] consequence. Consequence. Yeah. So we'll go like this.

[01:06] And then for me she was saying like I need to take wider steps. For me it was less wide steps. Yeah.

[01:15] Yeah wider steps less wide and then like I did notice and you even said it when you were dancing me that

[01:19] by me taking wider steps it like made my movement more smooth. I mean I think it like also makes my hips move more.

[01:27] So it's like a bigger movement and I think it shows more of the like isolation. Because she was first saying like oh I need to isolate more and she was like well why don't you try just taking a bigger step and then it kind of like fixed it.

[01:39] So that was it. Okay. So that was it. Okay. You're done. Wow. Okay. Let's see. See if you remember things. Interrupt if you remember things.

[01:47] So yeah just as you said good connection here. Like here. In this connection she was saying that the connection is all from here out and not like this should all be loose but really good connection here. Versus you can do Madrid in this connection but then this needs to be like from here needs to be kind of stiff and provide connection from there.

[02:09] Yeah. And while we're on that topic we can also do Madrid like this as well. Did she do one like she did one like this and we'll come back to the styling thing. Okay. So then we bolero but then we go it's a low movement and really use the ground aka like plie.

[02:33] Like push. Push. Push. Push. Push. You can't push if you're not going to go down. So you really have to go down. That's true. That's true. Yeah. So in order to push you got to like prep yourself by having been down. And then for me big time don't don't do this business on the on the toes. The balls of your feet.

[02:56] Yeah. She was kind of saying like almost like flat footed. Flat footed. Flat footed. Yeah. Like more heel. Yeah. So she wanted she wanted almost like my heel or flat foot. Not heel but a little more flat foot. Yeah. She wanted that like so I could really work from the ground. Yeah.

[03:13] Um. She was saying for you slowing down. Slow down. Even like even steps throughout. Like so you go boom boom. Cause I think you're you would have it like you'd brush some parts and then maybe like slow down other parts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. Don't take big steps for me. For me just be working under yourself practically.

[03:36] And then make them as you were just saying really smooth them out. Um. Milk them. Don't be in a rush to get to the next step.

[03:46] And then what else? Let's see. So. She was saying like level. Like it'll be loaded. Yeah. Oh. And then don't start coming back up until the third count. Which is this. This step here. Then you go up with that step.

[04:00] Step. And then same thing here. Low. Low. Stay low until here. Mm-hmm. Um. Oh did you want to talk about for for when I come here which is your version of coming here. The idea. You kind of said it but just to get into a specific that you push off the ground and that push is what causes figure eight.

[04:24] Yeah. So pushing off the ground. Because initially I was like in my mind I'm like okay well when I do the Madrid stuff I'm supposed to do figure eight. And she was like saying I was like I was over. I was rotating too much. And it like seemed disconnected from what you were doing too. So she was like no just like push into the ground plie I guess. And then like your hip is gonna kind of unlock and turn anyway. By consequence.

[04:52] I also wonder if as as a consequence you end up doing the Nicole squishing a bug or putting out a cigarette butt. Like does does that happen on your feet. Like your shoes on the ground. Does it kind of do that. Or does it stay. I wasn't doing that at all. And she didn't point that out.

[05:09] But it's also weird that it would like it would stay like this planted the whole time. Like my hips can't work. I don't know.

[05:16] I don't know. That's kind of like where the hip. But she didn't mention that. Because I was because I would just go like.

[05:22] Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[05:24] Okay.

[05:25] Okay.

[05:26] Um. Was that it?

[05:27] That might kind of be it except for the um special case the the styling of um here as we're gonna lift up.

[05:39] I really create like a solid support system and lift you up with it and then

[05:47] when we start doing this our upper body and connection kind of stays in place

[05:52] although she had her here I thought she wanted some she wanted a little bit yeah

[05:58] she did I didn't really understand that yeah she kind of said oh yeah she said

[06:02] the lower body rotates but not the upper body right okay so it's isolated

[06:06] so these go like this and then and then we're out of it and then the other sounding ones I mean you

[06:13] recorded it yeah but I think for me to just for my part I think one of them I kind of go like this

[06:20] and then kind of follow that type of a flat pattern and then the other one is I think she said this

[06:30] one's kind of like a j or pendulum and at the ends I should really have support because you'll want

[06:38] to be like leaning on the support okay so I can kind of think of right now yeah all right protein bar
