Technique and Styling

  • Lesson 1: Cuban Motion: move on the ball of your feet
  • Lesson 1: Cuban Motion in place
  • Lesson 1: Inside turn: start lead on 3, she spots on 5 and 7
  • Lesson 1: DRT: man moves hand to the center spot as soon as the turn starts, she finishes the first turn on 5, second on 7
  • Lesson 2: Leading with the Right connection: CBL and reverse CBL
  • Lesson 2: Leading forward and backward: instead of the basic step
  • Lesson 2: Leading with the Left connection: CBL, CBL walk, Inside Turn, Outside Turn. The lady follows the (left) hand
  • Lesson 3: Spotting and DRT lady
  • Lesson 3: Exercise for DRT: SRT + hook turn finished on 5
  • Lesson 3: Spotting man, half right turn man during CBL under his left connection (continue with another RT on 123)
  • Lesson 4: Late DRT lady (with bad lead man): acceleration for second turn on 7/8
  • Lesson 4: Left turn man between two CBL's
  • Lesson 4: Left turn man between two CBL's, followed with Escort during second CBL
  • Lesson 5: Drop and Catch variations: into Inside, Outside, Coppa
  • Lesson 6: Lady Styling (ladies timing): Syncopation on 1; Slide to 3 (with wiggle), Side step with shoulder, 5 cross 67 slide. Do it all of the time and learn by making mistakes
  • Lesson 7: DLT man: R-R connection, (D)RT, open break + haircomb man, first half left turn on 3, finish on 567
  • Lesson 7: Coca Cola: prepare on 7 by additional rotation
  • Lesson 8: Combo: (D)RT lady, man half RT on 7, RT man on 123 to free spin 'in place', Coca Cola into anything
  • Lesson 8: Lead and follow: let her step forward on 1 along his right side, with L-R connection (lead is on 7), lead her back to left side (forward) on 5 (lead is on 3): Cross body walk under L-R connection. Advanced version: twist the Cross body walk into a wrap on his left side
  • Amserfoort: Lead and follow: let her step forward on 1 behind his back while he makes a half RT (lead starts with pressure on 7), lead her back in coppa movement, lead back starts on 3
  • Private: Coca Cola surprise: the second half is a coppa turn along his right side instead of left
  • Private: man half RT on 7, half RT on 123 to her left side, lead her into reverse outside turn along his right side
