[00:00] five fundamental movements of central bachata. First bolero, sensation going up. It doesn't
[00:06] happen in space, it happens from motion. The first bolero we did was one, two, three. Again
[00:14] guys, in your basic, even in bar support, work with cushion five, six, okay? Not this.
[00:20] One, two, three, I know bolero coming. Five, six, seven, I sustain. One. This is an exercise,
[00:28] it's not a movement, just to learn to sustain bolero. Seven, I do this. One. Bolero is one of your
[00:35] most used preps. Almost 80, 90 percent is going to be either bolero or something like bolero,
[00:41] okay? It's always something like bolero. We use bolero in a completo, which is a complete
[00:47] term, completo. We go one, two, we spiral up with a rotation, but we go rotate and up, okay?
[00:56] Don't try to do this. Please don't turn like this. If I see that on the dance floor, guys,
[01:01] I'm going to whack you or smack you. One, two, spiral up, five, six, arrive. What? Release.
[01:10] Paseala. Open walk or walk her. When we come, start combining that. Do it with a basic when
[01:17] you practice. On five, six, seven, smaller step, the last one. I rotate, sending her, because
[01:23] she's, we're coming from the motion, right? We're coming from basics, so the energy is
[01:27] going there. I let her continue that energy, but my step is there as she passes me. My frame
[01:33] opens up. I feel the pull from the back of my head or the neck, and then I'm going to take
[01:39] her without pulling and pushing, but because I'm moving my body by shifting weight, I will
[01:45] rotate, honoring her, tap, let her tap, and because I rotate, she rotates, and then I take
[01:50] myself back. Pull, I close. Paseala is sustained bolero. Basic. Fourth, rompo. Rompo adelante.
[01:57] Gentleman, isolate. Pull, forward. Energy down, so which means our prep is bolero. Down. If you
[02:12] don't isolate, she's going to feel this, okay? If you go with a full body. So it's not shoulders.
[02:17] Your shoulders are going to be facing her, your hip is going to go. Remember those movements
[02:24] that we did in the beginning? It's going to help a lot. Pull. We did the rotational, so
[02:29] I'm just going to show rotational. I'm going to rotate with a bolero. As I'm coming from
[02:35] this circle, I form it into this semicircle, sliding up. What it gives me is I block her knee
[02:42] from closing fully, okay? From here, I go into a slide. My arm, obviously here, finds connection.
[02:48] My right diagonal hip finds connection with her central lower belly. My this line finds connection
[02:56] with this line. So I'm not facing her. I'm slightly twisted in diagonal. From here, I release
[03:02] down. As I release down, I start sending my hip. Only hip, hip, hip, hip, hip. My weight is still on the left. What happens to my leg if I release my hip? It slides.
[03:08] Right? Naturally. From here, I'm going to push the floor and start stacking myself up, bringing us both together. Arms, do not push and pull her. This is a visual effect. If I do this with my rib or ribs, rib cage, my frame follows it, yeah? I'm not pushing and pulling, not in any way.
[03:30] Okay? Boom. Up. Okay? Slide. Can I show you with a lady? Who wants to do it?
[03:37] In the wrong form, we give her space. In the wrong form, we give her space. On the first one, wrong form is the best way to find connection with her hip, but not on the first step. Okay? So first, bonello. Five, six, seven, we go.
[03:51] One, we did it on eight, so I'm going to show you as the movement, but it's a prep. Okay? Here, I prep her. We come from basic. I go four, and then we go one, and sustain, and sustain, and sustain. From here, I release, going to completo. Spiral. Five, six, seven, eight.
[04:14] And pass it. Three, four, five, six, seven, basic. One, two, come. Can I do a wrong form? Five, six, seven, we go. One, two, three, four. See my head? Find a connection. My head. I'm not looking at her. I'm here. From here, I'm going to go down. Release my head.
[04:36] I thought something like that. Stuck here. Oh my God. We get stuck. So those are the movements to practice at home. Next week, we're going to have evolutions of these movements. Evolutions, okay? And some more movements, but some of your reps are going to evolve into something else, and by the end of the course, you will see how many movements you actually see in patterns, but you don't know the names from them.
[05:06] Right?
