[00:00] Off axis spins are taking over the bachata world and today you're going to learn how to do them

[00:05] as a follow. First step is to make sure that your posture is aligned, your hips are in neutral

[00:10] position, you are bending your knees for stability and your lats are engaged. Next piece of it is

[00:17] your ribcage movement. Stand on your left foot, you're going to shift into your right foot and

[00:23] as you do that, tip your chest to the side. Be very cautious that you are not leaning through space,

[00:31] that's very different than just tilting and lifting. It should almost feel like you're stretching your

[00:37] ribcage up towards the sky and you're staying in line with the foot you're standing on. Next you're

[00:42] going to need to open yourself, so from this tilted position your head is relaxing down to the side

[00:49] and you want to feel like you're doing a chest pop, open. This brings your chest and your shoulders a

[00:55] little bit behind the line of your hips. This is the position you're going to be holding for this

[01:01] basic version of in off axis spin. The key to not getting too dizzy, we can't spot in this, is that

[01:09] opening of the chest. The second you're throwing your head quickly into a movement, that's going to

[01:15] get you more dizzy. We can't avoid it entirely though, unfortunately. With this, slowly you just

[01:21] want to start practicing half of a spin or even a quarter if this feels hard for you. You're tilting,

[01:28] opening, you're on your right foot, then you're going to step into your left foot and give energy

[01:34] for a spin from your core. And pause. Check yourself, make sure that you've been able to hold

[01:41] this position and nothing changed on top or you're not falling off balance. Then you're going to just

[01:46] build that up. Continue practicing on your own time. Open, prepare, arms stable, core engaged. Give

[01:55] yourself one full spin around. Practice it in pieces, practice it both ways. One last thing that you can do

[02:02] at home if you're trying to imagine how this would look like with a partner is to grab a chair and a nice

[02:06] big hoodie. Set up your wonderful lead in front of you. Do your basic step in place. As you're taking

[02:13] that three, plant your weight and tilt on four to open. You're going to drop your right hand,

[02:21] keep that left one, and you're trying to spin in place and stay connected to the arm of your lead.

[02:29] That's going to give you a really nice sort of visual and simulation of what it's like in partner work.

[02:33] Just make sure that you don't grab your lead the way that you would grab your hoodie because that's going to

[02:37] twist the wrist and not feel so good. By the way, if you want to learn more cool tricks and moves for your

[02:43] social dancing and bachata, comment the word tips below and I would love to help you out.
