So, today we talked about
some technique within our basics
we talked about frame and
we introduced the basic whip
So, first of all, our regular footwork
just in place for a six count pattern
is going to be walk walk,
triple step, triple step
leaders starting with their left foot,
follows with their right.
One more time, that's one, two, three
and four, five and six.
the concept we talked about here was one
leaders, keeping the arm nice and low
so that we can connect better in our
lower half of our body
we did our sugar push, a left side,
sugar push, and a right side under arm
So, we did one, two, three and four
left side pass
one, two, three and four
sugar push
one, two, three and four
right side under arm
one, two, three and four,
five and six
Let's swap sides
So, while we did this,
some of the key points
Follows, for now, we would like you
to step back on count six, always
So, that allows us to build some stretch
here,
so that you're feeling the ability
to be led
rather than if you step forward
automatically on six, but did a sugar push
one, two, three and four, five and six
we've lost all of our connection here.
So, make sure you step back.
Leaders, you have to stay in place,
so there is something for your
partner to connect to.
one, two, three and four,
I stay right here
So that my partner can connect to me
If I travel with them
One, two, three and four, five and six
They are just running trying to find
something to connect to
So, watch that all one more time
One, two, three and four,
Stay nice and low
One, two, three and four
I stay in place
Sugar push
One, two, three and four,
then a right side under arm
One, two three and four, five and six
Cool
Then, we talked about whip footwork
The basic pattern for a whip is going to
be seven, eight
Walk, walk, triple step
walk, walk, triple step
Again
Walk, walk, triple step
walk, walk, triple step
Leaders, we start the first half
just like a right side pass
just now with the arm
So, we are going to step back, back
triple step
While we do this, we want to
shift our hips and take our entire frame
right, so it's almost
like we are a robot, but not quite.
My upper body moves,
and my lower body moves
My upper body has to move with it
So, as I step on 1
I'm going to to turn slightly to the right
And both of our frames create this
nice little prep
So, that is one
I'm going to turn back leaders
and face back down that way for two
that asked my follow to pivot on two
we're going to stay here leaders
as our follow goes back for three and
we're connecting in the back
stopping them, so that the only place
they have to put their four is forward
Leaders, we are stepping across
the slot of four
then we are going to turn
all the way around
over our right shoulder
for five
send them out, six
seven and eight
so there was prep, send, three and four
five, six, one more time
one, two, three and four,
five, six, seven & eight
Thank you everybody!
