The shadow position is what I call when the leader is either in front or behind the follower and so
they're facing the same way. And in this video I want to talk about a very simple move.
But it's very easily confused because people don't stick to their fundamentals.
And the clip that I'm gonna be using is by Marco and Sara, one of my favourite couples in bachata.
Okay, let's have a look at this clip.
567812345678 That's it.
By eight, they've already completed the shadow position.
Let's look at it one more time, but slower.
567812345678 You can see this is ridiculously simple.
This is literally just a left turn.
Now let's focus on the girls part first, because this is very, very simple.
12345 So there's something different here If you notice, um, he's got his hands here blocking.
So for the girl, there's nothing different.
All you have to do is step, step, step and tap, just like your basic.
Except this time he will change your direction slightly but do not step tap, step tap because he hasn't indicated any of that.
So step, step, step tap
as you can see on one, he's moving to the right, not to the left, because he's stepped tapped.
So the one step tapping should be the guy.
If you both stop tap, then you're still gonna be on a different count.
If you stepped up, it's gonna be actually very confusing because, say, for example, um, you're the girl.
Is is doing her normal step Step, step tap and the guys also doing his normal step step stepped up the next count, she will go this way and he will go this way so it breaks apart.
So it's gonna mess.
Mess it up.
This is where it goes wrong in social guys need to step, tap, step tap not step.
Step, step, tap.
Why?
Because you're doing the shadow position where you guys are facing the same way.
So do not make make it hard for you for yourself.
Girls, because they haven't indicated anything that you should be stepped tapping very rarely in any type of lead that will be happening instead, just doing?
Just you do your step, step, step, tap and guys.
In most scenarios, most online courses that I've done most teachers.
Everyone is very, very rare that you can lead the step tap, step tap.
It's almost impossible to lead it, especially if you are in front of her.
Alright, guys, thank you so much for watching this video this Episode two, and so there's still a lot of things that can be improved.
So let me know which ones you want to see first, to be improved.
