Captivated by a Beautiful Moment. Barrida and Rebote

It's pure pleasure to continue the giro after a barrida... if you have the right technical information. And the right amount of practice. This is the first lesson in a series that will get you there. Get prepared to find the nirvana of giros and barridas!

At this stage you’l find out how the leading of the giro is the purpose and the barrida is a movement that only appears inside this lead. You’re not quite there yet, but definitely much closer to the giros+barrida nirvana!

Remember that magical element, we’ve been focusing on, in the previous collection of lessons? The one that keeps pretty much everything together? Right! The pivot! In this case, the pivot will help you keep the connection with the partner, and the hips in the right direction. Find out when you absolutely must use it in a barrida.

This is the lesson that will make it or brake it. Because it will offer you the explanation of a very complex barrida. It will raise problems concerning your balance and the continuation of the couple’s movement. But you have the right information, right here, to make it. The breaking thing is out of question. All we require is your practicing input. And nirvana is yours and your partner’s to be experienced!

Let yourself be inspired by watching the maestros performing all the elements in the lessons until now. This is a gift video, which you’ll discover inside this collection of lessons. (Music: orquesta – Juan D'arienzo/Hector Maure, "Si La Llegaran A Ver")

Rebound is one of those elements, too, that can help you create a beautiful moment to be captured in. You can use it just as it is, or as a way to change the structure and the direction of your dance. It’s a tool that is all yours, to be used on your way to complete self expression. You’ll discover how in this very lesson.

We all know that it’s mostly us who influence the quality of the time we spend on our own or together with other people. But the most knowledgeable of us, also make use of the circumstances they are given. This lesson will show you how to use the imaginary lines on the floor, to find the lines to follow in your body. So that you can get to the next level in performing your barridas.

A lesson that will offer plenty of technical details about a rebound that can take you to an ocho cortado, and about how these technical details influence your attitude while dancing. And they do! Everything wrapped up in a beautiful combination of steps that is all yours to be used.

The structure presented in this lesson has a high level of complexity. Paying attention to all the small details might seem burdening at first, but it will make you forget completely, on the dance floor, that there’s any work involved at all. But in order to get to this stage of pure savoring, there’s lot of practice upfront involved. There’s no one who has ever skipped this step. Not even the best.
