Lesson 2 began with some tests .. |
|||||||||
First we led a series of backward ochos: |
|||||||||
| as follower pivots, leader also pivots 90 to walk in cross | |||||||||
| leader gently sacadas each leg of follower while continuing the walk | |||||||||
Then we made life more difficult, starting offset on one side: |
|||||||||
| leader
turns his torso to bring follower in open step
across his front so he is on her other side; lead follower into giro forward, open, and back steps exit with sacadas while walking in cross system |
|||||||||
Forward ocho exercises reinforcing disconnection: |
|||||||||
| begin
offset ; keep facing partner while doing forward
ochos in opposition keep facing front while partner holds hands out sidewards from behind |
|||||||||
Backward ocho exercises: |
|||||||||
| keep
facing front while doing backward ochos Hands touching while doing backward ochos together - pause in each step, pivot, step, pivot scheme |
|||||||||
Forward ocho 1: |
|||||||||
| walk

takes back step Pivot follower; Draw follower across as forward foot closes and squares up |
|||||||||
Forward ocho 2:: |
|||||||||
| close foot block so follower steps over before coming round to close | |||||||||
