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's something for your partner to connect to. So,
one, two, three and four, I stay right here
So that my partner can connect to me
If I travel with them, 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, 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 not 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. 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 on four. Then,
we're 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!
