Turns. Changes of Direction as Creative Landmarks

The importance of ochos can be easy to overlook, but they are essential as they connect various parts of your dance and make it look like a harmonious whole. So we better master them properly. In this lesson you’ll find out about the importance of the shoulders, as well as the order in which the movement should happen. Everything accompanied by exercises and structures.

Clean and beautiful sequences will be demonstrated and thoroughly explained in this lesson, in order to show how your embrace should adapt during your pivotal movements. It’s all about flow and comfort.

Giro is the magic wand that gives us the possibility to “fly” in dance. Now, mastering its technique will provide a life changing “flying” experience.

This is a lesson about how to avoid cliches when performing giros and how to always be prepared for change, as change is inevitable anyway, right?
