Buenos
Aires
Julio
Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa arrived
one afternoon to give us a short vals
lesson. Some of their tips are noted
below.

|
|
|
| |
General:.
|
|
|
| |
|
walk from hip each foot
set down heavily, lifted lightly
walk
forward displaced, squaring before cross
four
steps / three beats - slow slow quick

We did a few
practice blocks:
|
|
|
| |
|
walk in parallel
on the open side of your follower walk
forward a few steps onto leader's right
foot
step
around follower onto leader's left foot
walk
backwards for a few steps onto leader's
right foot
step
around follower onto leader's left foot
walk
to the side and repeat above
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
... then
learned to copy Julio and Corina's
signature "cradle": |
|
|
| |
|
Leader steps back
on his right leg, follower forward on her
left leg Leader sweeps left
leg, turning to his left, bringing
follower into back step around him
Leader
moves left foot against follower's
trailing right foot and she crosses right
in front of left foot
Right
rotate to rock back onto right
Left

Right
