Dimension: The embrace - Theme: Grounding technique
The grounding technique is very useful to create a lot of steps, including barridas and planeos. Basically it is a technique used to stop the follower at a particular point in her transfer of axis. We used this step today in a pretty planeo, a 360-degree turn and a barrida. Variety is the spice of life!
The only accepted way to overtake a couple on the dance floor seems to be on the left...
Dimension: The embrace - Theme: Lifting technique
Lifting is a great technique to have the follower move their free leg, for example to go over in a pasada or a parada step. We can also use this technique in the cross to create cross/uncross effects or rebounds in and out of the cross. Very unique, yet very salon.
Aníbal Troilo (July 11, 1914 – May 18, 1975), also known as "Pichuco", was an Argentinian bandoneon player, composer, arranger and bandleader. We hope you enjoy these few performances on his music.
Dimension: The embrace - Theme: Mixed energy in open embrace
In this class, we started with an americana position and developed a couple of versions leading us to a giro with a fancy back enrosque. The sky is the limit! :-)
