But let the leather be silly with my quimba that the challenge comes without fear but with this wisdom They've been day after day with my quimba the affection just faded away with my quimba Hey what's up guys here we go Let's dive right into our combination We're going to start with the open position Gentlemen on the left ladies on the right We're going to start with our basic step first We do the basic we go 1 2 3 5 6 7 From here we're going to do a two- hand turn We're going to go 1 2 3 5 6 7 Yeah let's do that again one more time Straight into it we go 1 2 3 5 6 7 Gentlemen as I do this 5 6 7 I'm gonna be getting out of her way On 5 7 Just like our other moves within the course I'm going 1 2 3 5 out of her way to get in that separate lane Here we go together straight into it 1 2 3 5 6 7 From here we're gonna do a walk back acce Yeah so I have to start with the open break I'm gonna go 1 sorry before we do that Remember the arms is gonna go like this So this one is going to the elbow My right her left Then the left is going to form this tunnel So I can get her in this position here Yeah so let's move a little closer for that So if I were to give them a turn like this this one is eventually going to slide here And the tunnel that's formed here That's where she's going to end up when I turn her She's going to end up at my side So watch it once I'm going to count 1 2 3 5 6 7 1 2 3 We want to be here by that 3 Yes yes anything so far Ladies this should feel really familiar It's the same as a lot of these turns 1 2 3 And we're facing backwards And from here he can do a lot But you're gonna feel pull bac So you're going to do your walk back Yeah just when in doubt Follow his arms So he's showing you here So his arms here are showing you to turn And then this one you're gonna feel push you're gonna feel pull and this hand this upper hand is the one that's guiding you yeah so follow that leading hand Here we go so together Straight into it We go 1 2 3 5 6 freeze So guys right now my hands are together This is how I do the push The open break I push with both And then I pull I go 1 2 On that 3 that's when I let go And I really concentrate on my left hand her right From here we're gonna do our walk back We're gonna go 5 6 7 Accent 1 2 3 Yeah again I 'm here Last time Now from here I'm going to do something like a fake I'm not going to let her go all the way I'm going to do a She 's going to go under the tunnel I'm gonna go 5 6 7 Yeah Super slow watch what 's gonna happen one time So we're here 1 2 3 5 6 71 235 7 Yeah So for theladies You want me to teach the ladies Yeah So for the ladies Your footwork's gonnago1 2 3 He's gonna make you walk back 5 6 7 I'm taking small steps so I don't hit the wall We do our And 1 2 3 This is all normal What you've already done before This is where it gets a little different You're gonna step forward 5 Because you think you're gonna go forward Then he's gonna push you back So you have to step 6 Yes So you have to go 5 6 7 So from this side You did your And 1 from your accent 2 3 You 're gonna go forward Forward You're gonna be pushed back for 6 and you're gonna push back again for your 7 so your footwork's pretty easy when you combine it with the upper body It's a little bit more challenging So let's do the footwork again 5 6 7 Just like your basic So the difference is You're gonna go 5 You're gonna be pushed here You're gonna go in 6 Okay But I keep my eyes up So I'm not gonna go 6 I'm gonna go down 6 7 So 5 6 7 And I stay And I go 1 Yeah Or you can even come up 7 If you feel like you're losing balance Just keep this 6 7 1 2 3 Yeah You wanna keep your eyes up As long as possible Because the minute you look down You're gonna feel like you need to lose balance So you want to go from the accent and 1 2 3 watch 5 is normal 6 you're gonna feel kind of like a push from here So that's what's going to make you do that And then you come up Yeah And basic Guys it's very important for you to raise this elbow As you're doing this yeah I'll explain after we do it together Super super slow Let's go from the very beginning and stop there Basic1 2 3 5 6 7 12 35 6 712 3 So guys again my full work I'm just doing a point together When I do this next one I do another point Yeah I wanna keep my weight here I point And then I cross Sorry So again guys I'm going Point I step Point I cross Yeah Again Point I step Point I cross Yeah Slowly again Let me actually do it in this directio So you can see that 12 35671 7 PointTogether Po Let's do it again together And I'll show you where that next point is So straight into it 1 2 slowly 5 6 out of our way 1 2 356 712 3 This is going to be I'm doing an open break for her I'm still pushing Even though I'm facing the side I'm not like this completely I'm going 1 2 3 Yeah Aga 1 2 prep So I can hit her on the head With my right hand I'm going to let go of my left For 5 6 7 They're going to continue on their line Yeah Let's do it again Let's go from the top From a different angle I might give you my back for a little bit But just in case you want to see something Straight into it 1 235 6 7 1 7 1 2 3 5 6 7 1 7 So before we get into that Ignore the hands I just wanna say something super important for the guys because I just remembered right now this is probably a better angle 1 2 3 just watch this boom right here guys make sure your hand It's like at the shoulder it helps a lot to kinda control the back I kinda let go boom especially right here it's like you have like a nice support to send her forward And then to send her back Yeah So that's a really strong key Is using this hand if you can On her right shoulder To push her forward To stop her To push her back and down So you have control of her body and so you need to control it well so she can feel like she knows what you want her to do because she 's like we're going back we're going forward We're going back So control it nicely Last time Then from the top I thought that was very important A little small detailWego12 3 5 6 7 12 35 6 712 3 Prepare her towards you gentlemen I'm gonna let go of the left I turn her 5 6 7 That's just a turn and a half For the girls We've done it 50 times Yeah Guys from here She's gonna do a normal basic 1 2 3 As she's doing that basic I'm gonna go 1 2 3 And I'm circling behind my head So I go 1 2 3 That's for the ladies Come this way a little bit So again She's doing a basic Guys I'm going under the arm I'm stepping 1 I'm going out of her way So I don 't stay in her lane 2 3 Yes yes If I'm facing the camera so you can see it from behind I'm going 1 towards her 2 out of her way 3 I come together so if we're looking straight at the camera You see that I'm in my lane and she's in her own lane so I can send her that way yeah one more time let's go facing this way guys we go forward ladies bac 1 2 3 Guys from here I'm going to walk her forward on the 5 So I can give her a free spin on 6 7 5 6 7 Yeah it's just a normal free spin for the girls Yeah let's do it from here Slowly I'm going 1 2 3 5 6 7 On 6 7 I make sure I take my basic towards the girls So we can do a cross body lead right away from here And catch Yeah let 's do it again from here Slowly Same position Super slow I go 1 2 3 Guys right left right Right Left Right here I connec Just so I can do a basic step Last time Now at the end of it We' re just gonna do a cross body lead Watch it once I' m gonna go 1 2 3 5 6 7 1 2 3 And tiki We'll leave it there for now Yeah Yeah the ladies styling You're going 1 2 3 And then as soon as he's going to prep you here for your 5 You're going to put your arm out so this we can go I'll go this way It's probably easier for you to see 1 2 3 5 And then I bring my arms in 6 7 And I bring this one up and over To connect with him back here 6 7 And this one I just bring into my basic arm So Yeah So we're gonna do it twice Super super slow Before we do it with the music Super slow from both directions We basic 1 2 3 5 6 7 To hand turn Out of her way Open break Walk her back Accent and Forward bring her bac And bring her through Here's the turn Arm up 1 2 3 Prep Bring her through 6 7 Arm up here to connect And this one Cross body lead And tricky And 1 2 3 Yeah Let's do it on the opposite side Let mention something For the guys Guys right here we do the accent and I come right here make sure it's like you catch her like in a net if you don't stop her she's just gonna keep going forward Make sure you're here and you counter that yeah so I'm stopping here and I'm stopping her down here so when I bring her back I' m also pulling here and pulling down here Don't just pull one cause it's gonna bring her back and don't just pull this side cause she's just gonna unwind yeah you wanna you have to create a fold in my body yea So we're here I do that stop And then right here Gentlemen make sure You lift this elbow up Sometimes if they' re not exposed To these type of moves What if she doesn't go dow I'm like let me make sure and bring my elbow really high in case I don't whack her in the back of the head yeah so really lift that elbow so she has a tunnel To come in through Yeah and maybe If you have a really tall Follow: Like you're social dancing So maybe don't do this move if you're shorter than your partner Because it's going to be really hard for you to get your arm up It's going to be really hard For her to get underneath so just that particular move it's a little more finicky height wise but if you're tall and she's short then it's super easy because you just lift a little And she goes around her But styling wise ladies If It's better Even if you just move your head It'll help If this makes you lose Too much balance Just keep practicing At home And then when you do social dancing just do what you can do Don't go past what you feel is comfortable Because you don't wanna fall Yeah yeah So also guys I always say this In all the videos when we're doing combinations make sure you don't you don't have to memorize the whole combination just take little bits and pieces of what you like and make it yours And then combine it later so if you do this whole basic step and I'm a leader you can just do steal this move from that whole thing and then call it a call it a day And then use whatever moves that you like and take a little snippet of another combo that we do Same thing for the ladies pick a little styling part that you're doing and practice it Yeah You don't have to learn the whole thing Yeah if there's like one part that you feel comfortable with and the rest you don't then you don't have to do it Alright if you're home I would just practice it anyway Get comfortable with stuff But social dancing You don't take whatever you like You feel comfortable doing Let's do it one
