1. Technical Notes:
Today we learned the Cumbia (similar to the break away. The feet don't
come together and they stay hip apart. The hands can be held and/or
switch to having the hands on the lower back.) We learned the very,
very basic of the cha-cha (slow, slow, quick quick slow) what we learned
was the feel goes forward/backwards and step with leading foot, step
with off foot, then quick repeats and then together and then switch
foot. We also learned the the cross body (do the break steps and on the
third break step, leads pull their partner to the other side and
repeats to have the partner end at their original spot. I also learn a
proper way to go from a spin then into a dip (Spin, go out and spin
inward to your partner and hook your arm around them and trust that they
don't let you fall)
2. Personal Growth: It is
starting to get easier for me to step back and not be a leader and be a
follower. I also learned how I can still help my partner if they don't
know how to lead, and I can still guide them. Though it is really hard
when some of the leaders don't put an effort into the dance, or just
complain about it...it kind sucks the energy right out. I'm learning
and getting the steps much quickly!
