Buenos Aires - Mingo's basics The first lesson continued with some revision of basic skills . |
||||||||
Our salida: |
|||||||||
| We practised a salida starting with a wide step to the leader's left with the leader turning to bring his follower offset to his right as they walked forward to the cross (or not) according to the lead. | |||||||||
We then modified the pre-cross steps (4 and 5) to lead a forward ocho: |
|||||||||
| 4
offset leader steps forward on left, turning his
chest to begin bringing his follower in front for
the cross 5 leader half steps forward on right - torso square so follower crosses in front of him - bringing his right foot close behind his left with foot pointing 45 to the right. leader opens his torso as he transfers weight to right to lead his follower into the forward ocho leader turns his torso back forward as he transfers weight to left to lead his follower to complete her forward ocho leader closes right to left, bringing his follower square in front of him ready to continue. |
|||||||||
We then learned a different form of back ocho 4 offset leader steps forward to bring his left foot alongside his right; his torso turns his follower 45 to the right, transferring her weight onto her left foot, repeating: |
|||||||||
| leader
steps forward/diagonally on right taking follower
into a back step on her right leg and left side leader closes his left to his right and turns follower 90 to his left leader steps forward/diagonally on right taking follower into a back step on her left leg and right side leader closes his left to his right and turns follower 90 to his right |
|||||||||
until: |
|||||||||
| leader walks out on his left rather than closing. | |||||||||
and the mordita following a back ocho: |
|||||||||
: |
leader
leads follower into a back step on her right leg
and left side as his short step onto his right
foot finds outside of follower's left foot leader keeps his weight forward and brings his left foot to bite his follower's right foot. |
||||||||
and a mordita directly from the salida; his torso turns his follower 45 to the left, transferring her weight onto her right foot: |
|||||||||
| leader
leads follower into a back step on her left leg
and right side as his short step onto his left
foot finds outside of follower's right foot leader keeps his weight forward and brings his right foot to bite his follower's left foot. leader withdraws his left foot drawing his follower forward and round to his right into a forward ocho over his foot |
