Dimension: Height - Theme: Going up

In this class, we looked at differences of height and speed, and how to go up and quick or low and slow with fun and playful steps.

Dimension: Height - Theme: Milonguero dip

This is our first class on our new dimension height. For this class, we played with steps where both partners go down together, including a step we call the dramatic step and another one commonly called the milonguero dip. Very dramatic and romantic.

Dimension: Energy - Theme: Review

In this class, we aimed at getting as many different energies as possible, so we played with soft cortes contrasted with quick pasadas and a sharp back cross contrasted with a soft leader's giro. A great way to close this term!

Dimension: Energy - Theme: Back boleos

Back boleos are a great way to add energy to a dance. They are a whip-like movement using a change of energy, normally from backward ocho to forward ocho. In this class, we saw some simple versions of boleos for beginners and then upped the tempo with a boleo on the floor and a lifted boleo for intermediates & up.

Dimension: Energy - Theme: Soft giros with enrosque & lapiz

In this class, we played with soft, romantic giros, as a contrast with last week's high energy giro with sacada.
