Are you using the same amount of bounce on absolutely every bounce
step right have we thought about that before right yes okay so how which are
the bounce step figures for instance can you point out a few of for us
Troels Bager - Ina Jeliazkova - Samba basics lesson
good samba walks right that's right stationary samba walks or samba sidewalks
that's good any anymore well even the um
that's right so even if we take those as a compilation how do they differ from one
another and what is really the bounce versus what is the pelvic action do they have the same amount
and how is that affecting what we are doing so this is basically what our focus point today
is and we want to just give you very black and white information so you can apply directly into
your dancing and hopefully make your efforts more efficient because very often when we're dancing
samba we're trying our best to really execute a lot of action but are we really aiming for
this for the right amount of action for what we're trying to do yeah so if we start with
um the shall we go with the bounce or the pelvic toe let's do the bounce first okay so the bounce
very very simple thing at first you know but difficult to do how long does it take for us to
go down in the knee and how long does it take for us to go up in the knee in a box what's the beat
so the bounce takes half a beat so i go half a beat down half a beat up half a beat down
and that's one and two and one and two and one and two and one and two exactly what you
said there where does that earth come in because we say oh the bounce is one a two
one a two but that's the foot time so this is already the first comp like heart the
both bounce is one or two but now we say we go one and one and one so the knee timing is half
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha but the foot timing is one a two and one a two and one a two
and one earth two so if we just did foot timing it would be five and two one and two
one two one and the knees would be
and now we have to combine those two so it's one and a two one two eight one and a two and
one a two a one a two n one a two so what happens is if you think about the leveling
as if we had a building we would have the basement then we would have let's say the second floor and
then we would have the rooftop whenever we step the first step of the whisk we are in the basement
then before we have stepped we already go on to the third floor and now when we step we're on the
rooftop then we release and go all the way to the basement can we do that again so we go basement
third floor rooftop basement third floor rooftop down up fully up down
whilst you start using the standing leg good guys one and the two and the one and a two and one
the two and the one and the two and better that's better the amount of effort that we
use when we make a step to the side or when we make any step with allowance of gravity is much
less than when we work away from the gravity so try that straightening now we just release
and now we work away you should work much more to go up then you should go down right so you release
and you work up you release and you work up therefore in your mind you should spend
less time on the release than on the recovery in other words don't think ah you're already late
yeah it means that as soon as that lake hits the floor as soon as that foot hits the floor you're
already starting to work upwards and what we practice so much slowly is we're really
processing this but in reality we're already late so that means that the moment that that right leg
hits the floor i already need to begin the work up and manifest it here and then again i just
release and already start working up so by the time you see bow flat you're already late both
