Theme: Forward and backward ocho - Basics and creative combinations.
In this class, we worked on the basic backward ocho, focusing on the technique to lead a nice ocho and to follow, using dissociation. We then used a bit of creativity to mix forward and backward ochos, in a step where both partners do ochos together. Definitely a winner on the dancefloor.
Theme: Steps that travel
In a milonga, it is very important to keep the flow going, so that the line of dance is fluid. For leaders, it's quite nice to be able to split their repertoire between steps that travel and steps to dance in small space. This means that no matter what happens on the dancefloor, you can carry on dancing. We did the basic cross and then a beautiful little sequence with a back cross.
