Transcripts

1. Bachata Partnerwork V1 Introduction: Hi, my name is Karina and I am Jeff to opinion and we are part of incognito Dance Company. Welcome to the shutter partner course for beginners. In this course, we're going to cover all the basic steps and fundamental core techniques that you need for your dancing. Please take your time with this course and go over each module several times. I know it's very tempting to move on quickly and learn lots of new moves. But a strong fundamental, basic technique will help you so much later on to move on quickly. And the overall, a better dancer. 2. Bachata Pw V1 10a&b Wrap And Walk Demo & Explanation For Men: The benefits of the different subsets of the data. For this particular Egypt is no column a lovely friends. We're back into learning some new modules. And this one we're going to show you the shutter walk and a bit shutter walk with a twist. So the leader of this looks like you're not doing much, but believe me, it's super important that you leave for this is crystal-clear. So we're going to run you through both versions of the walks. Okay, So starting off with, as always, we start off a nice simple basic, 23, tap, 5, 6, 7 tab. And when you start that, the next basic, 123, prep prepping your lady to do an inside turn to her left. But this time, instead of letting go of her left arm, you're going to keep hold of it. So it turns 5678 and you notice I'm holding onto her left arm with my hook and pin. Mri arm is just in front of as a guide and my positioning is I'm just off her shoulder. We call these buttons for points of reference. My left Hit button is very close to her, her her, her hit buttons. Shoulder, the shoulder. So the key button areas you want to focus on are your two shoulders, front and back to hips, front and back, and also the knees, front and back we show later and it's the same on the lady. So these are your points of contact. Are you here as constant talk about how to how to match your the shoulders and hips together. And it's these areas that you want to focus on. So the hip area is literally where you have that bony pelvic bone sits. There's quite, quite a strong key point to target. So if you go in between these areas, your LEA can be ambiguous. So when I'm giving it a wrap, we've got to do basic and prep the turn to free lady turns 5678. So I've connected buttons or shoulders, hit buttons connected also. So from here, We literally facing square, I'm not perpendicular to her. I am walking in the same direction. Answer. So then when we step, we're going to do one basic forward, 123. You can tap on the spot. Or if you want to feel stylized, you can tap behind on your heel. The taps, you can set that for wherever you feel comfortable. Just don't do a big typo kicker, anything which kind of puts you off balance. And then you just go back in the same position. 5, 6, 7, 8. Let's do that again. 12, free, tap, 5, 6, 7, 8. Let me show you from the oversight. So we do a basic Basic 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ready? Mentioned be thinking about the prep. 123, prep. Remember who can pin down? He raps 5678. So you notice I'm just offer shoulder are not side-by-side like this. I'm literally I'm slightly behind her hip and I'm slightly behind her shoulder. Really important. Your lead becomes much clearer than when you step forward. 123, tap on a spot or behind, whichever you feel comfortable. Back 678, again forward for practice, one to free Chap 5678. Now just a little tip in the beginning practices a lot. It looks after a while when you do it socially, you will re rarely do it more than once. But for practice, we always say multiples is the best way to kinda make organic in your movement. So do keep drilling it. It sounds simple, but there's a lot going on from the lady from the ladies perspective. You know, she's holding a frame really well. So my lead really see synchronized with her movement. So one more time forward and back in and I'll show you the outro. We go 123, tap, 5, 6, 7, tap. Now to get out of it, I'm just going to give her a it's sort of like a three quarter turn to her right. 1234, new shader again. So then I start squaring off to my partner 1234. So then I'm facing her shoulder, the shoulder square root K is from that to the other side. 5678. 12345678123, prep and wrap. 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Let's stop for a minute. So you have to lift your front arm for the lady to be able to unwrap. So you lift. And this is the story you can see now this is where the lady goes through and also you have to drop the hand that's going around her hips. We go 5678. Make sure you don't pull with this arm. So if we're wrapped here, it might be tempting to pull and then maker on rap like this, but that's not the move. Just lift this arm and she would know that she needs to go through this. And then you can do your halo with with this arm. Don't pull from here. This is just a side thing, but it's going alone. Okay. So here we go. 12345678. Let's go from the top again. So we do basic 1234, collect six per turn, 12345678 from here, just one forward and back. 123, tap, ready? 67 outro, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Also one thing, make sure you don't take too big steps because the lady might wear heels. She might not want to step so far and then you might push her off balance. So just walk with you along your lady, like this. Very nice and easy. As we said, even in the basic domain, don't feel like you need to make it really big to make an impact. Just, just like step forward and back. Nice and easy. So one golden tip for the guys. My arms are always to me as a dance and extension of my core. So my arms when I'm in the right position, my arms are not the one pulling her along or dragging her back. Actually, if I was going to move with an invisible partner, can adjust that. If my partner was here next to me. And watch how much my arms move. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. They don't move at all. They pay become like an extension of the core being rigid. So why she feels it? If I put my arms out to the equation and I didn't use my arms. What she would feel is my walk, 12345678. So once you can once you understand about how you can leave from the core or we, all your movement becomes really smooth and very crystal-clear. Every time you become very what I call arm heavy. Your lead is very heavy, very heavy and, and pools and drags a lady around, doesn't feel very nice. And also for me, the lady will feel heavy because I'm using too much on power, whereas from my core, it's a much stronger way of moving. So NS she connects to me because she's got great connection and just walks, think no hands. Tap 5678. So the arms, literally all they do to me is is change the sequence. The lead comes from the cord movement backwards and forwards. Okay. Let's move on to the second book, which was Guang with the twist on 48. So preparing a basic 1234, a pedal ladies tan, 5678. So from here, it looks like a normal walk. It changes on 4123. And now what I'm doing is I'm turning to my right and keep my arms rigid. So in our town, she feels this. I'll show you that again. So we're here and I haven't pulled the arms through. Arms take artist twist. So from here, the turn on for she lifted her leg and 4, and then and then we do the walk. They recite 5, 6, 7 artists do the reciprocal here, twist to my left shoulder, the shoulder staying connected. Okay, so that's really important that you don't try and use your arms to make a tan. Just keep your arms rigid and let the lady fill the turn. Okay. Strider prepared for the ladies left-hand. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Ready? Warp and twist. 12, free, twist 5, 6, 7, twist 11. Thing that you might already see how CEF is doing it. It's really useful if you go down and when you twist is sort of to create lift feeling. So you go down twist and when you do the twist that you lifter because as a, as a lady, we want to feel like down and then when we twist, we have to go up. Step. So you want to reciprocate this MOOC. So you go slightly to prepare slightly down and then up just to create a bit of a lift so it's easier for the lady to turn. So let me show you the guy steps just by themselves and show you how it's still a basic and where the Twistlock coming in for me. So from the side, I'm already facing this way for the walk. So I go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So you see it's not much of a, it's not much of a change from your basic, just your angled 45 degrees. You're walking down a line and then you're turning on four and then working down the line. So that's how you executed. Okay, let's try the basic again. 123, prep and wrap 5, 6, 7, 8. Ready to twist on 4123? Twist 5, 6, 7, and twist. And Michelle from the other side. Ready? Prepared? 12345678123, twist by 6, 7, twist and catch. So I always try and see what the lady would do by herself. So when Karina mentioned there's a little lift, I'm actually just replicating what she would do naturally. When a lady twist up, she has a natural left in her frame. So my lead, it synchronizes with our own national movement. The more you're leading is exactly what she would do by herself, the more she feels like she's just being guided. Super smooth, and that's what you want to try and achieve. Don't keep crashing into her natural following lines so that, that pivot up is a natural up for her to do a twist. So my lead replicates it and synchronizes. Everything just fits perfectly. Make sure you do that with your body as Jeff always emphasizes, move your body, not with your arms. Okay. So you go a bit of a clear bit of a bend in your leg and then up. So if your whole body is doing that move with the lady, not just your arms, right? Okay. Now show you the, the walker twist with the outro, the asteroids exactly the same as the outro you did in the standard walk. So it shouldn't be alien to you. 1234567123, twist, 5, 6, 7 twist from here. She, she lands on one. Instantly. I'm starting to introduce the outro, 1, 2, 3, 4. So as soon as he lands on one, she needs to have a guy that he's going to be turning straight away. Get to shade the other side. Basic into the wall can twist 1234, wrap 67, nice and close. Make just have just double-check. Is there daylight? But if you're here like this and his space, the whole twist will she'll fairly uncomfortable for me and my partner. So we're here, we walk forward. 1, 2, 3, twist, 5, 6, 7 twists essentially lands one. I'm already starting to lift my left hand to get ready for the term. Free. Tap on for finish. 6, 7, 8. So just remember, there's a lot of things to kind of put together. Your frame is super-important, where you're connecting your buttons is super important. Not being too far away is important. So just keeping all these things in check when you're doing a lovely move at the walking, the walk and twist. 3. Bachata Pw V1 10c Wrap And Walk Explanation For Ladies: Welcome my beautiful followers. In this section, I will explain how to do the wrap and walk, move in batch up there. All right, so let's go into our open hold. We do half a basic into a preparation. So we go 1234 on four. We prepare for our insight turn for the lady. But this time we don't let go of our left-hand so the leader will keep hold on your left hand. So what ends up happening is a little rough. So from here we do a normal insight turn. We go 5678 because we didn't know let go of our left-hand. We end up in this position. Now a couple of things in this position. First of all, the leader should be close enough to you. So you touch shoulders and you almost touch hips as well. So if there's a gap between you that you're not in the right position. I know sometimes it's the leader's fault, but just make sure you stay close. Then also very important for you ladies, you have to keep frame. What I mean by frame is you need to push away your arms. So CEF, even if he pulls my arms to the side, I'm not collapsing like this. I'm keeping my frame and he pulls my arms to the side and I'm staying in my frame like this. All right. It's very important that you sort of almost push your arms away from your body. So the leader is not all, your arms are not like clung to your body. And the leaders also has a hard time touching you as well. So I know Java is a very central dance. You get close, but there is a, there is a limit to how close you get and it's dictated by your frame. So if you have a good frame, then the guy should never get too clingy too close to you. Alright? So let's do again. We go 12345678. From here, from a leader's perspective, well, I feel a cleaner does, if our arms are in this position, which is like the repetition. If I try and push her arm, I can't make ON touch her body, even the bottom arm. Push. So even if I was behind her and I tried to pull the arm, she's still pushing arm away from the body. So she has its kinda like force-field. So the arms act like a framed force-field. So what happens is if I try and squeeze her here with the arms, you can see it stays away. So that's really easy for me to lead us. Soon as she maintains that frame, my lead becomes really easy to execute. So, so, so for ladies, it feels weird at first. And what we found was over the years that as soon as that guards in front of you, it's really easy to see danger and push away. But it's a guys behind you, that danger barrier which you see goes with so the arms relax and this happens. So just be mindful that, that your, that your frame is engaged, no malware. The guy is behind you, in front to the side. Always engage and then you'll find that. That helps you a lot. Let's try going. 123456, 78. So now we're in our lovely position here, close enough, engaged frame. Now we are going to walk to the front together side-by-side. We go 123 and tap. I do my tap behind me, sort of cross my foot because we are almost too close for both of us to tap in the middle here. So it's easier to just tap on the side like this, although it looks a little bit nicer. If you tap to the side. Then from here we go, walk to the back. We go 1, 5, 6, 7, 8. That's right. Let's do that again. Just the walks. From here. We go, 1, 23, and tap 567 and tap. You can do this how often, how many times you want to or how many times the leaders wanted to, because we're just following, right? Especially at the beginning, you might want to walk forward and back several times. But in our little routine, which is gonna do it once. All right, let's do it again. Just getting into that wrap, we go 1, 2, 3, prefer turn 6781234567 and tap. Now coming out of it, the leader will give me an insight. Turn again. So we turning over our left shoulder, right shoulder, sorry. We go 1234 just to come out of it easily like this. And then we complete our basic 7, 8. So it's a normal inside turn to come out of it. Right. Let's do again from the other side. 567812367 walk 1234567. Unravel 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I mean. The other we said that you have to push away, but you can see that Jeff has my hand is here touching my body. That's fine. My hip is one of the buttons that we use. So in on our body we have several places where the lead is very prominent and you can feel it very well. And these places we call buttons. So they're on our shoulders forward and back, on our hips, forward and on the back and on our knees. We'll talk about this a little bit later on it becomes more important. But right now already you can see that we are connected by the shoulders, are connected by the hips. So the hip is a good place for the leader to lead you, so he will be touching you're here. Also your hand can go here onto your hip button, but my frame is still engaged. I'm not completely relaxed. I've got still an engaged frame. So when we do on rubble, you can you can feel that he wants to untwist you like this immediately with your nice frame. Okay. Let's do it one more time. 56781234567, walk 123 tap. 567812345678. We did a second version which includes a twist. So this one is slightly more tricky and we definitely need a good frame for this one. So let me show you. It starts exactly like the other ones. So we go 12345678. We are in the same position. Revoke forward 123. Now on for the leader will give you a twist. So he is twisting and so are we. So we're turning to the same direction together. So we're in this position with our feet. You turn over your right leg here and pick up your left. So I'm going boom, like this. And then same thing to the other side. You walk forward, 5678. So we pick up our leg and we twist around half a turn, so 180 degrees. So from our steps we go 123 and I pick up my foot that's behind. So in this case, my left foot and we turn around and we go 567, twist like this with our partner. From just our shortcut, we walk 123 and then you will feel that twist because your frame is nice and engaged. You feel him twisting and you pick up your foot and place down on five. Then we walk again, 6781. We place our foot down. Okay? So it's very important for you to have good balance and it helps a lot if you're a little bit in your nice, if you have your lexicon completely straight, then you might be a bit more off balance, a bit more unstable. So keep your legs bend when you're walking, nice and grounded. And then when you're twisting as well, so you Very nice and stable. Okay, Also, your frame should help if the leader is leasing you're properly. Let's go from the beginning. We go 1234567812345678 here. Now we are going out of it exactly the same way then we did with the other version. So you landed here and then you do immediately and inside turn 1234 and complete your sick. All right. Let's practice from the other side. 56781234567, walk 1234567, twist now on rap, 45678. This is a bit tricky because you really have to hold their own balance. How I said, make sure you keep your legs. Flexible, bends a little bit so you're grounded and you have a good connection to the floor which will help you with your balance. But the twist itself, you have to have that balance. You can hang on to the guide too much. You can't suddenly grew up his hands so we're just still keep our nice hook like this. Don't squeeze the leaders fingers because you're a bit off balance. Just make sure you hold your frame and your hook like this. So it's really just get used to that foot step. And so you can practice it by yourself first. So we just from here, we were in the rap. We go 123 and then you twist around your leg. For London 5, 6, 7, twist on a, land on one. So really a few times by yourself. I'm also exaggerating how far I'm picking up my leg just to make it look a little bit nicer but more spectacular like this. You don't have to pick it up super high. You can just do it low. But if you want to exaggerate it, then you can pick it up. Hi. I'm gonna show you the step from the site. So for here we stopped on eight our right leg, we walk 123 pickup for land on 567812345678. So do this a few times till you feel really comfortable with it. Make sure you keep your frame nice and engaged, your core engaged so that we can keep the balance. One more thing, when we do it in partner. Just go into the rap. But when we do the twist, it really helps if the leaders helping you with this. If you go down and when you do the twist, you go up slightly. Let me show you we go 1, 2, and 3. I'm going down because my leader is going down and I know something's happening, so I'm preparing myself. I go down and then when I twist, I go up and then a land again, 67, I go down 8 and land on one. So that can really help you with the dynamics for this term. So I hope that the leaders will do that. They go down to prepare you. So you know, and you're ready for this MOOC. Let's do both versions together. One each, okay, 5678123456781234567, walk, 12345678123456 now on rubble 1234567. The other one, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Twist on route 2345678. 4. Bachata Pw V1 10d Wrap And Walk Tips and Practice To Music: So in the tips and practice, remember practice makes perfect. So let's go through it. So from here, we put these two moves together to kind of give you a sense of the subtlety between them. They both start the same, they're both and the same. The difference with the twist is, has to be led. The lady will never assume a twist is coming. You have to physically leave it. So it's a good tester for the guys on how to lead it and a good tester for the ladies to be ready for a guy that can lead a variation of was quite basic moves like the walk, okay, so when you're in practice mode, do it in our sequence. But then later, guys sometimes surprised him with a twist, makes sure that they are not going to fall over and you yank him around. There's more that you're leading it very gently, just like you're doing in the normal practice. So let's go from the top. Nice and slowly you're going to have to start with a basic, basic to free flap by six, prepare on one to Shri, compare rap 6, 7. Check. From here we go. Walk to free, tap back 67, unwrap. So you see already I'm already preparing her. There's a slight difference in my lead. I'm going to walk forward. I would be here 123. But because she's come on a not a is more here. So that already telling us something's different about to happen. 1, 2, 3, 4. It's a great way to link your moves together that, that little lead on eight before something happens. That's like a pre-war is a pre lead. Okay. Moving on. So we've gone 567, preparing the twist. 123 prep, 567123, lift as my lead. 5, 6, 7, 8 molar lead. And when she lands now, again similarly, you notice how I'm twisting more to my left and giving a bit more, a bit more of a signal. So she's not gonna expect a walk from here because this is not the normal position out. Turn 123, tap on full. Please don't force the turning out after the twist for the ladies is quite a lot because they have to twist 180 interesting one count. So especially if the music is a little bit fast, she might not quite get there on one. So if she doesn't, then just walk straight forward and back again before you, um, twister like this. So if she doesn't quite get there, then don't rush it. So don't own bomb. And then you might put her off balance, just take it easy. There's no rush. Nobody's telling you to do this many or not enough shown it's not choreographed. You do whatever you feel with your partner. So if she doesn't land on one, you can just walk forward again, back and then unravel. Let's do it again. Put it from the other side. 567812345678123. Prepare 567812345678, unravel 234567812345678123456781234567. A CEF gives me such a good preparation. I wanted to do a double, but just keep it to a single format. And ladies, just in the when we do the twist, I really feel because my frame is engaged, I feel Jeff Turning so I can't do anything else but turn with him. So there's not really a choice that leads so clear and my frame is so engaged that I'm twisting with him because of his movement. So if I'm going into the right position again, here we go. So on three, we both go down. And then because my frame is engaged and he's twisting and feeling this and I have to go around warm. If my frame wasn't engaged and he's twisting, then simply like this might happen. And you don't want that to happen. So push away and then you can't help yourself, but your body is twisting with your partner. Let's do it with music. You might want to Asia. 5. Bachata Pw V1 11a&b Hip Isolations Demo & Explanation For Men: Yeah. Hello my friends. And we're gonna go through the lead aspect of how we start leading different types of body roles. At the moment, we're going to focus on HIPAA oscillations, which will lead to the lady. Now, with all types of isolations, the key aspect is knowing which part of the body to lead at which time. So this is what we talked about earlier, the targeting different buttons. So from, from the top, let me show you how I first got into a different form of a whole. So this is kinda like a just a variation of a closed hold. As I did a basic 1234567. Then my next basic started to change our start preparing 12345678. So I placed a lady's hand on the back of my shoulder, which is one of the buttons. Front shoulders also use front hip, back, hip, front knee, back, neat. So you've got 12 key points in your body. So in this case, he's connected to my shoulders there. My hands go down to the back of her hips. Now from here, I could just do basics. This is Kyle nor position, nothing unusual. So acne turnaround you saw in the demo, we turned it around and position. This is just another way of holding a partner, is kinda just a variation of a closed hold. So we were here. So either the lady can do an isolation technique. So when I prepare her, She's gone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. She she lands on one right-hand, pushes her hip to her right data, and that creates a twist in her body. And then my left-hand pushes the hit back and it follows her old way round. Now depending on your lady, you could need to guide or old way or you might just give a signal or the lead. By that, I mean, I'll show you from this side. If I just stepped off to the side, sometimes I would put my palm on the hip and guide her round all the way back to the center and tap. But sometimes it's the ladies bit more advanced, but she's got a bit more body awareness. I could just go one boom. And she's done it all by herself. That's just for you to have to pay an experiment. But for now, try and be quite conscious of, of, of where your hands are and that you're keeping control of the entire sequence. So that's put a sequence together. From the top. We just do one basic, 234567. We prepare the arms, 2345678. From here, send the hip out, 123 back to the center and you see how I'm mirroring her? She's going to come back to the center point here, so I'm with her and then we step out to the side, 56, 78, then I do have a basic 1234 and then just the reciprocal I said now her left hip out to the left. By 6, 7, 8. It's very important that when you're in this position in this hole where your arms are because these hands can make a lady feel uncomfortable if there's too much to the back and too low here. So it doesn't even touch. So that you really have to honor her boyfriend really well. They have to your palm. This part should touch her hip bone here. So if you feel where that hip bone is here, That's where you pump should be. That's where you have the most control over where her movement here. So it's very, very conscious placement of your hands and the lady will feel if you know what you're doing or if you don't if you hold her hips, even if it's just a bit I know already know you don't know what you're doing because you can't leave me by my by my waste. I mean, if you place your hand too high or too low is even worse. Okay. So make sure they're around the site and touching those those hip bones here. All right, so that's the first thing. The second thing is the transition. So we've told you this before is the butterfly. So you go inside, out and then you slide the hands to this Close Holes position. This time we do the butterfly just with one LOINC, so just 100. So you go inside, you do the circle, you you keep connected at all times and then you lead her hands onto your shoulder like this. So let's try that just slowly again. 567812345678. Then the next thing is that you have to be really clear. If you start the hip roll on one, then you sent her to her, right? Because, um, top tier on eight and then I step out and I send my hip can naturally to the right. If you try to do the opposite. If it doesn't work, basically because if I'm stepping on my right or Congo to my left, It's very unnatural. So just make sure you're very clear on what you sent her to the right and route on five is sensor to the left and round like this. Okay, so it's practiced that sometimes with the butterflies, I might leave it on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or I'm I started later, 12345678. Play with both. You'll be using both anytime traveled both arms, one arm. It doesn't matter when long as you're finishing your sequence here. By eight, it doesn't matter if you started on one or five, or you can do the whole thing over a long bar 8, that's completely up to you. Okay, let's try it from the top. Nice and slowly we go. 12345678, essentially lands $0.01 round 34567 and the reciprocal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. And you might notice I'm kind of mimicking her feet as well. You don't have to I don't have to step out with her and come back in. I could just do my basic. Let me show you from the back to Guy steps. So two options. You can keep it basic. If this is what it is, what you're comfortable with, just do your basic as she steps 234567. So while you lead the hip roll, you could just do your basic no, nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you can feel confident, you can step out one swing free tool. So what I did there is instead of swing your hips around like Macarena does, I just swing my hips from left to right. So I just go 1, 2, 3, 4. And the other side could be 5, 6, 7, 8. It's just a nice way to kinda almost it without thinking. But is it synchronized with her movement? Say if I went from here to decide I went from the hips, we stepped out 1, 2, 3 cap. And the other way by 6, 7 cap. Just an option for you to play with. If you feel comfortable with the basic, start pushing yourself and see how many variations you can do to synchronize with your partner. Because we mainly just leading it, but we can still join the party at some point. So the Schroedinger side, just one quick thing. If you do decide to do the basic, you kind of have to step on the spot because the lady is not moving. Obviously, we're moving half a basic and then where we are on the spot. So you also have to just do your basic on the spot. So it should just take three steps on the spot and your tap and you will be fine. And then you also not confused which foot you're on. So if you struggle a little bit with this swaying technique, then just do your basic on the spot and then you can try what Jeff is doing electron is go for it from the top. 56 standard, basic, basic, 234, ready with butterfly on the left arm and 123 connect buttons, hips, six, ready, hit row 1, 2, 3 together, place it takes 812, hip broken leg, 5, 6, 7 together, 1, 2, 3 to exit. You can simply just walkaway and slight backup yams and catch it. 6. Bachata Pw V1 11c Hip Isolations Explanation For Ladies: Welcome to the world of body isolations. In this section I will explain for the followers how to do a hip roll, which is very common in batch other. And we do a lot of body isolations in buckshot that in general. So this is your first taster. All right, so let me explain you how to do your hip roll without a partner first and then we're couple up later on. So from our basic 12345678. So if we do a hip roll on one, we step out on our right leg. Then push your hips? Right. So you're just leaning over and push your right hip out like this. Then you go to the back, around to the left and then bring it back your weight, you shift your weight to the right and tap your left on for, again, rewind very slowly. We step out on our right, push the hips to the right, around to the back. So it's like a half circle till we are ending on our left. Then push off your left foot, shift your weight to the right, bring your left foot in and tap a little bit faster. So we step out 5678, we go 1234. That's a hip roll to the right. Once more. We go 1234. So there's very clear on the count. I push out on one. We go to the left on 2, we sway on three and tap on four. Let me show you from the side so you can see how my hips go to the back. So I stepped out on my right. Push your hips to the right, then I go back. Now make sure first of all, you have your nice straight. So you knees locked. Four ones in batches. I usually we have our nice spent, but for this MOOC, you really have to keep your knees straight because if you're here, it's not a good look. Okay. So keep your knee straight and then you just push your arch your back and you push your hips out to the back, make sure you keep your chest up. So I'm not leaning over, especially because afterwards my my leader is going to be in front of me so it caught like lean on top of him. So keep your chest up and your just your art your hips to the back like this. And then we move it to the left, shift your weight over to the right. And once more bit faster from this site, we go 1234. So it should be really nice, soft, smooth movement with your hips. Now if we want to go to the left, we started on five, on the count of five. So we do have a basic first, where you go 1234. Now we do exactly the opposite. We go out on the left, push your hips to the left, then around to the back, to the right, push off the right leg close and we tap on it. Once more. We go 12345, round 6. Shift your weight seven, top on it. Once more very slowly. 6781234. If 678. And this is how he brought to the left. Now let's try with our partner. For this one, we are going into a alternative close hold. So we start with an open hold like this, like we learnt it, we go. And then Jeff is transitioning my hand with a signal 100 butterfly. Butterfly was just wondering, if you will. So we go 123 and he brings my hands to his shoulder. So now we're in this clause hold, which is quite common in buckshot data. So we have our hands around the leaders neck like this, just on the back. Quiet and relaxed, but don't put your weight on him even if you tie it, it's the end of the night, but still keep your own weight, support your own way like this. And he has his hands around your waist. And then we go 5678. When you close like that is even more important as we mentioned in a previous model module, that you're not straight in front of each other, but you're slightly like this. So your knees can go like this and we're not going to find knees together. So you're slightly off shoulder. So you're in this position, you can hold on like this or just like this. It's your preference, okay? So turning backgrounds. Now on what? The leader will give me a, a impulse on my left hip, which is sending my hip to the right. So we start our hip roll. Okay. So we stop here on, on eight, not realizing what's coming, but then we feel our this impulse to the right. And it's just an impulse. And you actually do the circle almost by yourself. So impulse to the right, go around and then step and tap as we just did it by ourselves, but this time just assisted by your partner. Okay, Let's start again from the beginning. We're here. We go. 1, 2, 3, 4, transition 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4. Finish your basic 6, 7, 8. And then obviously we can do the same thing to the other side, doing half a basic 1234. Now you will feel your impulse on your right hip sending you to the left. We go 56, say it once more, just half a basic and we do it to the left. We go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So you really do finish a whole circle, but the back part is bigger, so it's not a nice even circle. It's a big circle to the back and then small to the front or almost cut across that circle to then tap it to the other side. From the beginning. 56781, 3.5456781234567, basic 12345678. So the key thing with the leader should be doing for you, and what you should be picking up on is he should be targeting your buttons. Remember we talked about earlier how your button and embody roles and isolations. When I leave it to my partner, she picks up on where the signals are coming from. So normally the signals come from the hand. But when hands not involved, that I'm targeting 12 buttons really. There's a two front shoulder to shoulder to front, hip to back hit. And less common ones are other needs which are used more Navalny. So front knee and back neat. So in this case you notice we're actually connected in buttons in many places for, so starting from the start, the first thing I'm doing with Karina is placing both her arms on my shoulders. So she's connected to tobacco my shoulders. And so she's already listening. Just part of my core demo, hands go to the back and this is where my lead comes from. But at the moment my hands on her on the back of the hip. But as he steps out and goes 567, steps on one, then the palm of my hand pushes the front hip round. But to be honest, she does so much of your herself. I'm actually start the lead and then I follow her through. So from a female perspective, when you feel these kind of signals coming in so many places, just start to get aware of when I'm doing something to the shoulders over the hips, That's me communicating to you. So just try and turn the volume up on your ears so you can hear all the signals coming from multiple. Sometimes it can be free for buttons at the same time. So they're all talking, trying to get them synchronized and in different sequences. So going again, let's do again 5678123456781234567812345678. As Jeff said, I dancing with different leaders. Everybody does this quite different. Some people would just give you a little tap to the side and you do what? You feel it can go different directions, but we won't go into that right now. You do what you feel, or they actually lead your hips around and you don't really have a choice of what you're doing, but just experiment with it and beaches fairly confident with your hip rolls. Practice them by yourself. Make sure you have your legs stretched. Can't emphasize it enough. It doesn't look the same with your legs bent. So keep your legs stretched and your posture upright when you do the hip rolls, practice them by yourself. And then when you do get the signal, then you feel really comfortable and it will flow very natural and organic. 7. Bachata Pw V1 11d Hip Isolations Tips and Practice To Music: Let's practice those hip rolls. Aim to your standard close hold. We go just the basic first, 234567. Butterfly 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Let's go 1.52345678, a basic 3456781 thing that sometimes you can get confused is which foot to tap. So just be very clear. When we do the hip roll on one, we go out to the right, 23. And as always, ladies on for it, tap on your left and leaders on for you, tap on your right. So don't suddenly get it confused. We go round and sort of complete the circle and tap on your left on for still ladies and lead us on your right. Because otherwise, you're going to end up on the wrong foot. If you don't do that, complete the circle, swing round, make sure you transfer your weight onto that foot at the end. Once more. 56781234567. But to fly 23456781234567812345678. Other side. Also, ladies, don't worry if your hip isolation is not very big yet, just make it as big as you can and then it will get bigger after a while if you feel more comfortable with it once you have a bit more flexibility in your back so you can arch your back a little bit more. It will get bigger. So don't try to push super, super far. Make it bigger than you feel comfortable, just make it smaller the beginning and then later on you can make it a bit bigger and exaggerated. Alright, once more, 5678123456781234567. Let's go 12345678 of basic 2345678. Where music? The salts from the seed coat. Yes, Go robot. Yeah, that S and a smoking ban on a Mac or on a cloud of dust. I said we would all get your protest that automata they see that as CMF file. 8. Bachata Pw V1 12a&b Chest Isolations Demo & Explanation For Men: And now what US stamp need a Macy's. In the same class. As strong and mammals lens of MBB skills. As much as a maker and sees the neighbor tests on it. It's going away. Okay guys, Welcome back. From here. I'm going to run. We've proved the lead for the chest isolations. Now in this case, the lady is just going to do a chest roll from anticlockwise and clockwise. So I'm gonna show you how to lead that. Now remember, isolation is quite a tough technique for anybody to do. We actually have actually dedicated an entire course to it. So we do ask you from time to time, go back to that course and practice, see right through. But for now I'm going to run through the lead, how you start the LEA, how you execute it from beginning to end. Okay, so the key thing is positioning. So we start off with a basic 12345678. Now I wanna get to the position where I can be connected to the right buttons. So I start off by preparing just her arm to go into my shoulder just like before on hippo Session 3, 4, Get ready. 67, I'm stein and bring it in. So I'm literally as close as I can be done, I drop on eight. And a key thing here is that you don't slam dunk your partner onto you and you don't throw down onto the floor. The key thing is I'm actually getting close an ion lowering myself. So I'm not actually, my arm is not going in. I'm actually just stepping in to the space we have. And then I'm Larry muscle. Somalia's not going dong, dong. Very different type of leads. One's a lot smoother if you notice, when I get to here, I'm just moving closer and my positioning of my feet is where it is normally bound is closer with it. So August in-between her feet and then I lower. And then what you'll find is your knees will also be connected. So from the side as I drop, She's on either side of my right knee. Should not squeezing me like a clamp. But she just kinda just connect it just like a magnet we touched earlier. That same magnetic connection we have She's got it on my knees. And also if that magnetic connection, when you drop I drop him immediately with you. Because as we said at the very beginning of this course of our connection, if Jeff goes down, I can feel that I can feel his weight's going away, so I don't I'm not staying here. I can I'm going with him. So that's exactly what's happening right here. So chapters now have to pull me, push me down. He just asked to go down and I feel that immediately. So one tip for leaders is, as you get better and better, you become much more attuned to what your partner can do. Like oversee, I've got dozens and dozens of sequences, but if I dance had a beginner, I will make my lead suitable for the beginner. So I'll keep things very crystal clear and simple and nicer and understandable for her. So if you're dancing with a lady who's a beginner and she doesn't know all these chess rows, you have to get it. You gotta get tuned to that quite quickly. So instantly, don't try and do do sequences which are too hard for her. Try and stay within your range of comfort and push her just a tiny bit in terms of the dance technique. So let's go back to the beginning. From here, we're gonna do a basic 1234 ready to prepare and 1234, Armstrong. Now put my hands on the back of the shoulders. 5, 6, move in, seven, down on eight. Now my lead literally comes from the back of my shoulder, our first center to her right, and then my right-hand. It's still on the back of her left shoulder. Sends her around full circle, back to the middle, neutral and then I reverse it. 5, 6, 7, 8 out 234 initiation this side. So I'm technically all I'm doing is from the shoulders just rotating her thoracic region on her chest. So just the whole ribcage is just getting a circular oscillation. It's kind of like doing a half circle and half circle back. Okay. Let's try going from the top. And basic, 2345678. Prepare 1234, position 6, 7, 8. Now I can't emphasize enough how important it is that yes, we're focusing on the chest roll. But I wanted to just draw your attention to how you get into position because once you're in position, 70% of your work is done. You already told us so much about what's, what might happen. So but if I'm doing this and then all the sudden I'm trying to access role. There's nothing telling a I've changed anything about my basic to give her information, summing news about to happen. So do spend some time focusing on how, how you're getting into a position where a chess row is super easy to lead. Okay, There's try. We do 1234 basic, looks like a basic already from one. I've already changed the look of the next basic. So she's already thinking in your head what's coming now? She's ready for something to happen. 1234. So already my my hands now are on the back of the shoulders, not under hips because this could be a hit. I'm not going to give her chest roll from the hips. So she's thinking, okay, something upstairs is going to happen. So when she goes back 567, I bring it in by eight. So many so much information has been sent to your partner already. So now just the chest roll, you're nearly there. Go round 12345678 and don't hang around there for hours. You've finished the chest roll, Come up on eight and out 234. So the key thing really when you're leading these things is start your lead with purpose. Make it crystal clear that if it's a different question about to happen, and then when you ask the question, she's already giving you the answer that you want to hear. In this case, can I have a chess row? Yes, you can. Which is what you want to kind of be. Always informing your partner when you're clearly keep practicing. 9. Bachata Pw V1 12c Chest Isolations Explanation For Ladies: Welcome my beautiful followers. In this section, I will cover how to do a chest roll. This is an a family of chest isolations which are very common in buckshot them. Let's get straight into it. So your chest. Take a wide stance and we're just going to try to move our test a little bit first. So your chest can move side to side like this. And forward and back like that. So it's like you just out and back. When you go back, it's like you received the punching your stomach, showing you from the side WHO punch in the stomach. So you tense your apps like this and you almost curve your back a little bit, just your, your upper back like that. So in this chest roll, we are going to go from the site to the back and then to the other side. If you struggle a little bit with isolating your chest, then please go to our isolation course where we have a whole section on how you can isolate your chest exercise you can do to make the movements speaker, because it's all about the muscles. You have to train those muscles to make this move for really big. One thing that I can say is it's not a tilt. So there is a difference. Tilting is when you tilt like that. So your shoulders are not on the same level anymore. In these isolations, your shoulders should stay on the same level. It's like a pull from one of your lower ribs out. So if you put a little ribbon around your lower ribs and you pull it out like that. So side to side, you can trust, try this first and then you can go the different edges. So side forward, side, back, and then try circles around. But we lead you through all these exercises in the isolation course. So let's just focus on the positions which are important to do the chest roll. So in this gestural, we go site, then backwards, then site, and back to neutral and recombine those steps smoothly. So we go side back, side neutral. Let me show you from the side. We go side, back, side, neutral. So this is the move for you with our partner. We are starting like before when we did the hip rolls. We are doing a butterfly to prepare you. We go 1, 2, 3, 4, and we're back in this position, 7, 8, now on eight-week drop. And now it's very important that you're not straight in front of each other and knock your knees together. Now it's very important that you're in this position and your legs go in-between each other, Let's turn a little bit. Shuffle, shuffle. So you can see this. We're in this position. Our files have to be touching. So with nice and stable, your weight is on both legs like this, and your knees are bent. So the drop is obviously led by the leader and you know that you should be stable or both legs because something is going to happen with your upper body. There's lots of different versions of what could happen with your upper body. But what you, all you need to know is sent to yourself, be stable, have your weight on both legs like this. Right? So let's go again from the preparation 56781234567, drop on eight. So you feel that leads to go down. Now from here, we are going to feel an impulse on our ribs. So you can see Jeff's hands where they are. This is where I feel aside movement and then he will guide me around to the back end to the other side. So we go 1234 and then we go straight away to the other side, 5, 6, 7, 8 in partner and in this stable position and with the guidance of your leader, you can do it even bigger than by yourself. But it's very important that you can isolate your chest by yourself. Because if you can't isolate your chest, then the leader can't actually make you do it. So make sure you practice that at home first before you do it with the partner, so you're ready. Okay. Let's do it again. Ready? 67, prepare 1234567. Drop on eight, we go 12345678, and then we come back up on eight to go back into our basic 5, 6, 7, 8, K. So it's not a difficult move in terms of steps. It's just difficult more for you because you have to isolate your chest. But it's not like with the hip roll. It can actually go either side on either count. We could go right first and then left or left and then right because you're not actually stepping, it doesn't really matter. So it's not that lift the hip roll. It's always right one and left on five. With this one, it could go either way. So you have to be really responsive to delete. So really feel the leaders touch on Europe's here. And then you will, you will feel which way he wants you to go. 10. Bachata Pw V1 12d Chest Isolations Tips and Practice To Music: So let's go through some, some tips and practice to help the lead and follow, make things a bit more smoother in this chest isolation. So just key things to remember is have a nice strong intro to your sequence. So as you do basic 234, make the basic look different already with a butterfly, 1234. So ladies Look how stylish. She makes her arm look. She's not just flowing and trying to catch him straight away. She's taking her time and she's even looking at around she can show. So we look as we discussed as the two steps that we were looking at our leg. This time the nice thing is our butterfly arms. So you can really test as well. We're both looking this arm to really emphasize it and it becomes almost theatrical and very nicely aesthetically pleasing. So we do our butterfly, we go 1, so we even leaving a little bit down, 2, 3, 4. So once you become really comfortable with this butterfly move, tried to make it really aesthetically pleasing and emphasize it with a look. Nice hands at the end, ladies, our little cherry between our fingers and our thumb, like this. And then softly, you place it on his shoulder. Okay. So very delicate. All right. Let's go from the butterfly. We go 1234567. Drop on eighth. Now we're going to the chest roll. We go before you, before you start the chest roll, fungus position. If you imagine the cranium moves away, we're in a squatting position. I'm not relying on her for support and she's not relying on me for support. So we're literally just consist in this semi squat position, quite country by ourselves. So what you want to avoid it, try and lean into her like this, or vice versa. Girls, really hanging on to the man. Karina's frame is engaged. If I prize away, Nothing's moving, she's in this position. And so quite key position, hold your own frame. And then from the role we send out to the lady's left, send it all the way to her back, bring it over to her right as far as over and then back to neutral. That's on for hours on 55678, I come up so it's not a case of me lifting her up on eight. Let's lead us, come up on it and then step out one to see I'm pulling away free for back to a basic 6, 7. When the leader pulls away, ladies, just make sure you stay connected all the way. And then at the end, his pin will stop you and your hook will naturally fall into his pin like this. So don't try to lift off your hands, just connect all the way. And then when magically connected at the end, Let's do it once more from the other side. From the basic 5678123456781234, 567, drop on eighth, we go 1234567812345678. Now one key thing here is when my arms are on cleaners shoulders and at no point is Queen and ever shrunk her shoulders. So I might move the shoulders birth, her shoulders are staying in place. So when I lead it, she older lead is in her chest region. So from the buttons, the information is going to occur for her chest and lose. No point that she's shrug up or or have loose shoulders. Very purposely holding frame quite clear. So I think this looks really fluid. Try and keep that going. Also, leaders, you can tell that the preparation always happens on eighth. So it's very crucial for you that you know, at least 18 before what are you going to do? Even sometimes it takes 28 to prepare like here with the butterfly and then we drop. So be always a step ahead of what you're going to do. Don't decide suddenly on one, I actually want to do this. Send it wouldn't work. So the preparation is always on the 78, at least of the previous bar. So you always have to be at least 18 ahead. That's a very good point. One thing about leading is it sounds easy to kind of plan 45 moves ahead a time. But to be honest with practice, you'll get to only plan one move at a time because you never know how the lady is going to react. She might be doing all perfectly or she might make a mistake, or you might make a mistake. You always need to be ready to instantly switch into another sequence. But don't have a plan for 56 moves ahead because so many things can go wrong in 45 six bars where you've weren't really kinda practice on is do one move and then think of the next move in and let it does fall our dominance. It will feel like a lot in the beginning. That's why we say always add basics in between most sequences that will give you time for your, for your just your muscle memory to kicking quicker. It's the Muslim memory that you really want to speed up. It's nothing to do with you thinking about the sequence. In first year, thinking about learning, then the muscle memory will start kicking quicker and quicker and quicker. So, bear that in mind when you're practicing. Don't be frustrated that things are taking a little longer to kinda space together. Supernormal, anybody who just walked in and just did it straight off the bat. If we practice to music. Can you guys see this going away? 11. Bachata PW V1 13a&b Body Rolls Demo & Explanation For Men: It puts a sales that can get. Just as. Welcome back. My lovely people were on body rows. From here. We're going to show you how to leave the body role and how to do a couple of variations of it. Now, we did cover body rows in our isolation course. So please do if you haven't done so already, go for the isolation course and work for every part of that sequence so that you can get fully aware of where you need to isolate at which point to create all these different types of roles. Okay, we're going to give you a quick refresher on just a body roll itself. Okay. Now we're going to mirror ourselves in the lead, but, but the road is ironically exactly the same. So from here, we want you to start from here and start with your your right shoulder going forward and then pull it back. Just shoulder only. Just isolate the shoulder. Okay. So this is the first part of the isolation. So then when you do one of the shoulders, then that's replaced with the chest going forward, only chest. Let's do 12 together. One chest for the Stokes number 2 just just never to only the chest. Chest. Chest. Chest and chest NADH is combined one to one, shoulder to chest, repeat. One shoulder to chest, repeat one shoulder to chest. Now, the next one, as we hinge at the hip. So by hinging at the hip, we literally nothing moves from your waist down and eventually hinging at the hip, backwards. So hinge forward, hinge back, hinge forward, hinge back. This is number three. So when we combine it in a sequence, we've gone one shoulder to chest hinge free. Let's do that again. So we've gone shoulder, chest hinge free. One more time. Show the chest hinge three. Number four, is your chest going all the way in but someone's punched you in the chest and it's come flying out your bag. Boom. Your four. Okay. So let's practice that one in four in, four, in four in four. Okay, Very important. That's usually the one people missed the most, right? So make sure for is in. One more time is go 1234, we go shoulder won chess to hinge free chest for. The last one is simple. You just sit. Now, remember, just fabulous as you go. Don't work it out. Just keep it a nice set. One more time. So it is going to go shoulder, chest, hinge, chest in, sit. Let's take the other side. So you always practice both sides evenly because you don't want to be lopsided body roll down, really weird. From the shoulders. We go one shoulder to chest free hinge, chest in, set on. Five. Again, nice and slowly. Shoulder, chest, hinge in, sit. Now you want to make it quite legato in musical term, legato is running smoothly with no, with no seams. But you can also make it staccato, which is quite choppy. But in this one we're going to do a very smooth flowing motion. So let's make effing flow. So it just goes from 1234, Five, a little bit smoother. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Again, little bit more smoother. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So that's a smooth body roll. Again, of course, if you want practice, please do the isolation course. It will help you a lot. You finding it. Be awkward at the beginning. That's just the body does taking time to get used to it, it will improve. Just be patient with your body and give it time and you'll get there. So let's talk about how you're going to lead into it. So again, just like before everything, it's all about preparations really is the key. Okay, so with the last couple of isolations, we just did a single handed butterfly. Let's go back to a double butterfly in this one. Okay, just for, just for a change. So we started into normal closed hold and I'm going to do a basic 234, pull away, 678. So I've got both my thumbs pinned into the hook. Okay. From here, butterfly, I dropped her hands to keep contraction 1, 2, 3, 4, place it on the back of my shoulder buttons and then my hands move to the back of her shoulders. 5, 6, 7, 8. Let's run that again. From a closed one. 2345678 and down two, Take your time. 4567. Prepare. So now our grounded myself so she can feel I've stopped moving song grandmaster because I want to do a static body roll. So I'm going to be on the spot and I'm going to lead forward. One. So there's my one on my shoulder and then two is my chest, back on free. Drop on five and then start again, 12345. That the lady, because she's mirroring Nietzsche, is going to be on a different merge sequence, but that's usually lead it. The lady will respond instantly. So don't worry about trying to push her shoulder forward. You lead your shoe, shoe, just replicate the movement in him in a mirror sequence. There's Charter Again, we are on show that. So the key position, like always, you want to be off-center. If you're, if you're two on a two square on it just won't work. Just, just the physics of your body's would just class. You don't want that. You want to be slightly off center. So I also have a tiny angle. So on kinda like maybe just off 30, 40 degrees or so on, optimal left. And then I started my shoulder going forward, one chest goes out, turn, hinge on free. I drop on foreign chest. Down on five, then start again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, repeat 12345, Shaphan, this site cell again. Nice and slowly we go 1234512345. So this is account only for the body parts. It's not a musical timing of it. The Musical timing can really vary so much from song to song. But in this particular song, we're going to hit it on what we called a prime beats one free 57. But it could easily be on, on 1, 2, 3, 4, or 15 that you'll see where as you do more and you get more familiar with the music, you play with it. So with a musical timing, what I'm going to do is 1357. So that's going to be a full bar and we're gonna do that one twice and I routine from the top. Let's go for it. Basic. We start basic to free, tap, pull away 678. But a fly. 2, 3, 4, shoulder, six, angle. 8. You're ready. One, 3571 more. 1, 3, 5, 7 to get out, just take a basic and slide away. Tap 5678. Also to get out of it, you have to sort of twist from your angle. So to prepare with, we went here on eight. So you can see CEF is sort of facing the corner if you will. And then after we finish here, we untwist this angle. And then I know I'm ready to go back into the basics. So that's how you can signal that this sequence is finished. Normal body roles, we go back into the basics. Who? Luck. So the key things you notice, even just your body positioning is already speaking to the lady. So by being in the wrong position, you're sending wrong signals. So there BBB, very careful with the angle of your body because they're picking up so much information from you, from everywhere. So that's a good thing and sometimes a bad thing if you make a mistake, am I pick up the wrong signal? So let's do one more time practice on this slide. We do a basic to free pull away 56 butterfly doubles. 1, 2, 3 to the shoulder. 567 angle than 13571234567 out 1234. Ready for the next? When you do your body roles, also be very aware, even though you're doing a difficult move yourself. Be very aware of what your hands are doing. Make sure you're not suddenly losing connection with your hand and then pulling and pushing your partner around in the wrong way. Just, just be aware of what your hands are doing basically because you might feel quite tense because you're trying to do a body roll. So suddenly you might pull her towards your push her away, just have them quite loose at this point because she's just replicating your move anyway. So you don't have to do much with your hands. Just be aware of what they're doing. The key thing is to do a body roll yourself. If he, if I tried to give her body or an artist stood still, made it old arms. It looks like a milking a cow and that's not what you want. You want to make it look like you're part of the party. So I'm actually not move my arms at all. Again, as always, I'm coming from the core. I am forward and doing a body roll. She's copying and embody role, she's copying. So therefore, your synchronize the beauty of YouTube moving together is so much better than one person is standing still, does shaking the other person into a body roll. You don't want to have that even if your body or is not strong yet, at least try, at least practice it until it gets better and better. Don't eliminate the body or because you're not strong at it yet. I've one starts somewhere. That's not a problem. Should we go for the other two, what we call the ripple? So we've just finished the body rho from here. I want to start now the same again with a butterfly. We're going to go 1, 2, 3, 4. Exactly the same. So to your partner, she doesn't know it's going to come a ripple and not see your preparation for the request to be different. Okay. So she's she doesn't know which version you're going to do. She can read your mind, then you're in trouble anyway. So from here, we step out 5, 6, and unchanging seven and bring it in, dropping eight. So my lead is in, out. So my hands just just forward and back. But I'm also I'm also body rolling with her. Okay. What again? From the butterfly. We go 1234567. Cr step forward. I've stopped moving on seven and in her chest is four because I'm connected to the back of her buttons of pushed her chest forward for the shoulders are mirrored Harvard the chest and then a bounced back and we body roll. If you know your partner really well, if if she trusts you and there's no issues with being so close, There's no problem with literally body rolling, touched the touch. But if you don't want to be that close, the lady can dictate how far she is by her frame. So her frame here can tell me how cosine can be 0 or vice-versa. You might not want to get that posted lady yet, right? So you can use your frame to just mirror it, that the look is still nice, doesn't matter. You don't have to touch. You can separately. So the key thing is it's either one can dictate that sometimes I don't want to be close and sometimes the lady might not want to be close. But either way, you know, one of you will choose through your frame how close you are, but the technique and the timing is the same. Let's do other side. Okay. So this second one, the ripple. So we were here, we stepped out to the side and then a double butterflies 1, 2, 3, 4 to the shoulder. Six step forward on seven. Xiang an Amelie between her, between your feet and then 7, 8. To finish it, you simply from this deletion, it's just walk away. 234, you're back into your basic open hold. Super easy. From the top. One little thing. Obviously you can see that the second one that we call a repo is a lot smaller. So you don't do a massive starting with your shoulder and then a big weight transfer to the back. It's just a little very small. So the more comfortable you get. So at the beginning when you practice about the role, you should do it quite big to make it very obvious which positions you have to be in. And then the more naturally gets, the more organic II gets with your body to smaller, you can make it, you can literally just ripple very small. So the second one should be very small. Just a little ripple down. Trigger from the top. Poking nice and slowly. Basics first and basic. 234, pull away. 678 of a butterfly. 2, 3, 4, shoulder, six, angle 8. So you're already has the two bars of this. We're going to go 1, 3, 5, 7, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Your square on an out. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Ready ripple 12345678. 12345678. So we'll delete that. Tried to differentiate. We purposely put two moves that start the same and can almost finish the same, but your lead will determine which version you give them. And sometimes leaders don't tell your partner which one you're going to do. Surprise them with which version you're going to do, but lead them. Don't shock him, said do prepare and properly and before you know it, you'll be able to switch between a full body roll to ripple at will. 12. Bachata Pw V1 13c Body Rolls Explanation For Ladies: In this section, I will break down how you follow a body roll or two different versions of a body roll in buckshot them. Okay. So partner up, we go into a standard close hold. First, we go 1234, and then you pull away 678. Now from here we're going into a double handled butterfly. Our standard faster fly with both hands. 123, place the hands on the back. And 5, 6, 7, 8, you will feel that the leader is twisting this way. So now he will start to do a body roll. We go 1. So our first body role is almost starts with number 4 going backwards. So we're not going forwards first because that's what the leader is doing. So otherwise it would clash. We're going backwards first and just sit down. So we just sort of doing step 45 to start with, okay, so the twist on it, and then we go for five and then you start the first proper body roll. We go forward, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Okay. So at the counts we're in terms of the positioning of the body rule, not in terms of the music. So let me count it with the music. We were here on eight. We go 1234567812345678. So as you can see, when we when I'm going backwards, I'm sitting and the liters almost sort of coming diagonally on top of me. And then when I go forward, I'm higher than the leader because he's sitting down. So you sort of change position. The same thing with our weight transfer. So you transfer your weight. We go backwards first, so we transfer our weight onto our back foot. Then we transfer our way to the front, back, front. But if you need more information again on the body roll, we talk about the weight transfer a lot in our isolation course. So just get really comfortable with the body roll and then you won't have any issues with all the body roll version. So we'll show you in the future. Okay. So let's go into again from the beginning, 56781234, pull away 67 butterfly, 12345678. Now we go 1234567, again, 1234567. And he will untwist you on eight, so that I'm twisting will show you. Okay, we're back on the basic. We're ready to go. Sighs. And we go 12345678. And the leader will just move back, pulling away from you and you end up in the hook and pin again. Let me just show you this first version from the other side. Standard position. Ready? Let's go. We go 1234567. Butterfly 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, twist on eight. We go 123456781234567812345678. So as long as you're comfortable with the body roll, There's nothing really difficult in terms of how to, how to follow this. The leaders doing a body roll and you choose sort of coping his movement, going back and forwards with your leader. For the ladies ducky thing, which I'm feeling from carina, is I feel she's constantly connected to me. So even when my hands are just on my shoulders, I feel as if if I walk away, her core is going to follow me. If I come forward her cause gonna follow me. If I connect with her buttons on the back of the shoulder and I do a body roll. Her body role is going to fall on my body roll. And she's got connection like here she is. She's only got connection on my shoulders. But as soon as I put my hand here, She's can now connecting to my arms. And on the other arms. Things, always trying to find information from me. What is the leading me? Where is he leading me from? So when you look at your following skills, try and be aware of there are many ways that the guy is talking to you, whereas unlike a normal language, just my voice is my voice or you read body language. In this case, the body language is all your information. And the different points of contact is you're following your, your reading and listening skills. So do try and fine tune them and try and read up on what the guy doing. It's a guy picks up, this guy doesn't mistake, try and work out. Was that a mistake or not? Try and read all the perfection and imperfection. So in that chapter, that is sort of two ways of leading ones is with contact. But there's also a very common way that we, as followers, we just copy what the guys doing. Sometimes we mirror when it comes to like footwork and staff. And sometimes we replicate when, for example, when we do this, these, this first body role in the second body roll, we mirroring. So there is a visual lead and lead in terms of touch. So be, be very aware of both. Okay? So this is our first version of the body roll. The second one is a lot smaller, which is called a ripple. It's a lot quicker as well. So after we pulled away from our first body roll, we go again into another butterfly, 1234, we go 5678, we do the body roll. So on seven, Jeff is pulling me towards him. I'm stepping forward so you can see our feet are on the same line. Here. We step forward and we do just a little ripple down like this. So you can feel this leads on your shoulder. The leader is just sort of pulling you, giving you this impulse just towards you. It's a very, very quick movement. It's not a big WHO? Quick poll. It's just a quick impulse. And then you do the ripple yourself. Okay, So let's try that again. From the butterfly, 567812345678. So you can see this, but the role is a lot and, um, smaller than the other one of the other one, we went proper through all the positions, which is what you should be doing when you first learned about the role. Make it a really big so your body knows all the positions it should be going in. And then once you feel comfortable and starts to feel organic, you can do the smaller ones, the very subtle ones, these ripples. Okay, so do it big first to get comfortable, and then you start doing the small ones. Let's do the small one again from the other side. 5678123456, 78. And then to get out of it from here, we just started our basic 123 and pull away 5678. Just one key thing for the ladies, and this is also for the guys because it's the same thing. When we get into the body row 78, again, we're not hanging onto each other just like before. In the chest row, r can pull away and she's still in that position. Okay. So she's not relying on me for support. She's not leaning on me. She's not pulling on me at all. Literally. It's ripple down. We let go of each other. We're still in this semi squat position. Okay. So you have to you have to hold your own ground. Sometimes I notice if I lead a lady and she did not show was happening, she lives she pulls me forward and I have to kind of have to kinda grandma. So instead of being being young forward, since sometimes the guards would do that to you too. So just to have a nice strong grounding then just supporting her own weight. This is quite kicked. Us go again from, from the ripple double butterfly. So also latest notice how beautiful she makes her hands. She's almost like she's got so much attention, even on the end of her fingernails. Everything's focus. It's like you spend a fortune on your fingernails, showed him madame made of diamonds. Really put purpose to every body part. I feel as if Karina, she just manifests energy in every part of her body from the core to the tips, really important for the toes to the nails. Everything's connected and saying something. So try and think of it like that. To increase his hand goes out. There's even a thing at the end of the fingers, a strong, there's something she completes her styling story. Okay, don't have a loose ending. Keep it strong. Once again, we go 12345678, 345678. From the top, the whole thing. Collect 56781234567, double butterfly. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, twist. We go 12345678123456781234567 second, 11234567812345678. 13. Bachata Pw V1 13d Body Rolls Tips and Practice To Music: Let's practice the body roles to some counts. And then later to music. We start basic 5671234, pull away 678 and butterfly 2, 3, 4 to the shoulders. 67 angle 1234, roll 678 second, 123456781234, ready for the ripple prep and 12345678 out 2345678. See the key thing there, I'll just try it for emphasis on where the lead is really changing story and that's where as a leader, if I pluck there, I, I, I said evoke Lieberman lead also has that same sort of accent on the, on the change. Should we try to recite 56781234567, butterfly 123456781234, 567812345678123456 second 11234567812345678. Music or can use, MA yes, no. Yes. Yes, yes. So I'm just as bad. 14. Bachata Pw V1 14a&b Routine 2 demo & Explanation For Men: Now the gamma, a gamma of that line. So you can remember that you have, now that you've made it routine to this routine, we're going to combine all this stuff you've learned after the routine MAC, which is going to be a little version of the walk and walk and twist we're going to do and I hit by oscillation. We're going to combine a chest isolation and about the role and a ripple in there as well. This is, this is quite a long routine for, for, for your level, but you do need to practice it because everything from improve as onwards, we'll be working on all these techniques. So do take your time and practice it. You might not hit it, hit the sweet spot straight away. But with practice, it will it will definitely come to you. Yeah, absolutely does with every single person. Just keep practicing persisting. So let me run through the sequence for you and me, show you how to combine them, okay? If at any point in the routine learner as it is, but you feel that you need to add a basic somewhere here and there. Feel free to add a basic whenever you want, just to buy some time and then try to eliminate those basics. So it just flows back-to-back. You'll see what I mean as we run it through it. So we started in this standard closed hold position. Ready? We're gonna do a basic. We're gonna go 1234, basic, 6, 7, 8, easy peasy so far, right? So this time we're not prepared. 1234 hour pull away 678. Then I prepare her for the Wrap and 5, 6, 7, wrap. So I've got my rat. Remember you're connected with the shoulders from here. I'm going to do the walk and twist 12345678. And then I'm just now going to you're going to do a normal walk. 12, free, fall, back, 67, outro, 1, 2, 3, 4. This Fran through all that again from this side. Okay. So normal clothes hold basic, nice and slowly. 123456789123, pull away 67, open hold. Let's do an open hole basic 123 tap, but now you're going to lead it into the rap 5678. You're gonna do the walk and twist 12345678. Now just a normal walk backwards and forwards. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 outro 12345678. The key thing here really is we've structured this course is so that if at any point, any of these techniques you're finding difficult, just go back to the particular module that you are finding hard and work on it. Don't let any of these techniques just fall by the wayside because they all help another. So they all have they all involve something that you would need for something else. So they all work together. So as you become strong on one, the other one needs to also be strong. So you might not use it as much, but you will certainly need the technique which applies to that particular module. So if you're struggling, say with the, with the walk and twist, then just go to the module that works on the walk and twist. So for now, let's move on from this side. So we've done the war can twist and only done the walk and the outro. So we're here. So second section, we're going to go 1, 2, 3 for butterfly, 6, 7, 8, and I'm going to the hips. I'm going to create a hip isolation from the role of Hawaiian. One. Key, three, tap 5678. Let's do that again. So we're here. So we go 1234 down to the back of the hips, 678123, top 5678. From here, we've gone, we step out. 234. I decide. Let's do the same thing again. 56781234, hips, 67812345678. So we go from the top, starting with a basic enclosed hold, we're gonna go 12345678. From here, I'm going to start opening up and start preparing her for the rap. 1, 2, 3, 4. The lady wraps up to her left, 5678. So now they're going to go into a walk and twist. So are taken to remember the connection with the buttons. Make sure you there ladies, remember the frame. Super-important helps to guide, lead everything.

And slowly, we go 5671234567, prep and 1, 2, 3, 4, wrap 6, 7, 8, ten, ready to twist on four by six? Twist on eight and a walk. 23, tap 5, 6, 7 outro, 12345678. From here, we're going to do half a bar to our left, 1234. My hands on the back of the hip buttons. Remember where the pelvic bones you wouldn't be on the back of that. And then when she lands on five, I'll give her hip isolation overall round cap on eight. Let's do that again from the butterfly. So we've gone out on right guys, we're going to go 5, 6, 7, 8, connect to the HIT. 2, 3, 4, send the hips on a role. Higgs says 98 atop the whole thing. Up to that point.
