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
