Day 2

Class:

1.       Review

1.1.     360 deg Step Circle

1.2.     Two lead types : translation, rotation

1.3.     Relationship between Embrace and step geometry

1.4.     Leader’s Parallel step (walking)

1.4.1.   Exercise: Arbitrary directions

1.5.     Leader’s Replacement step (sacada)

1.5.1.   Exercise: follower’s open and leader’s inside cross – both sides, repeated

1.5.2.   Exercise: Leaders use IX and OX to same Follower’s  O

1.6.     Same thing but with leader’s O and Follower’s O, IX and OX

2.       Follower’s technique (Lisette)

2.1.     How do followers react to the two lead types

2.1.1.   Walking lead:

2.1.2.   Turning lead:

2.2.     How do followers deal with stepping over leg in sacada?

2.3.     Exercises

10 minute Break

3.       OPTIONAL: The Rules of tango:

3.1.     What makes tango tango?

3.2.     Rules

3.2.1.  Axis

3.2.2.  Step = change of axis. Natural step size. Pivot before step

3.2.3.  Lead/follow = constant distance in front of leader

3.3.      Two forms of lead: translation (linear motion), Rotation

3.4.     Exercise: lead/follow no embrace, translation, rotation, combination

4.       Figures that use techniques discussed thus far.

4.1.     Basic salida variation 1: OL-OF, OR-IXL (sacada), OXL-OL, … (Follow step-Leader step)

4.2.     Basic salida variation 2: OL-OF, OR-IXL (sacada), OXL-IXR, …

4.3.     Basic salida variation 2: OL-OF, OR-IXL (sacada), OXL-OXR, …

5.       Repeating Figure Elements (step to same vertex)

5.1.     Repeat Parallel steps to left and Right

5.1.1.   Follower: B-S-F-S……..
