Anna Kovalova - Gabriele Goffredo - Anna Matus | How to dance jive basics
Of course there is so many so much difference between chai and jive even in our foot
and knee position i want to point uh this because again sometimes i can see um not really oh this
is a pretty way probably of doing the chasse yeah you know it is probably um something wrong with my
knees yeah so in drive we're actually going more in and we create this action through our foot
position so our inside part of our toe it's always engaging with the floor and connecting first we
not connect entire foot or outside of the foot yes it always goes in that's why our knee direction
is also goes in so that's your three and four even when you land on four you have to
land on this part of your foot on the side part not on entire foot yes it's like
as a goal so just remember the jive even the foot position is slightly different and it's a ball
in the beginning so you have opportunity to actually arrive on inside uh part
the edge of your toe yes so you have three and four three and four very good three and four
three and four three and four three and four very very nice yes especially for you ladies um
again it's one of again of my images i always think that when i'm dancing the jive i have a
super tight pencil skirt in super tight pencil skirt you can't do much right so and especially
with the chasse the feeling is actually always towards the center towards um it goes in
it never goes out yeah so you have to really feel that your inner thigh muscles are always kind of
like brushing rubbing against each other yes so you always feel engagement yes between your
inner thigh muscles that's a jive so we're gonna have a chassis to the right and to the left and
three ah four three ah four three ah four redirect your body and four
keep your knees engaged towards center of four three ah four
three ah four three ah four very very nice okay very good the sweet one and the jungle okay
clear these two types you can find this over there without breaking
sweep and jump we don't have so much time but we'll try to to to touch both of them yes
we'll start with the swing we'll take the bait the rock and the shots okay no jump
but what i would like to add normally who can show me a basic one
two three four three a four a one a two a four a one a two four
we'll do the same thing but we'll we'll add a small action which one that
so try to do the same thing
uh
the giant
so what you can see when i'm jumping i don't eat so much
and what we will try to do is to apply the body rib cage
so do and the right hip cage legs and one step now the ribcage in out um
um
so be careful of course the ring first is out
yes out so when you do the step after i want to see the ribcage goes in out yes not
one not only the rotation of the heel but plus you go in with the wreakage no shoulders out yes um
you just want to say something for the man which normally should be
so what we do that with the body if you isolated this without using the body weight this will
become only exercise what i will let you really feel yeah just you can try lower with your body
when you start going on the right foot and legging left you start to move a little bit forward
the correct forward forward with your bodyweight and right side now it's time
to change the body weight so when i change your body weight starts going back now the body do
forward start to move backward in that moment we are here and then into left
back and right forward that's why you have to replicate
that's very important doing this
it's also correct but take out a little bit the dynamic
then if you want to work really tense you have to reach your body
weight starting a really good accent and then naturally swing cha cha cha cha cha
oh
the point is that we'll give you a guideline which then you have to use with your style so the body
actually doesn't mean that everybody has just to have the body you can use that to increase also
your silent drive that's very important so now you have three of them completely three different
to each other but three correct so you can see bye yeah
eight and one actually a one or two or one or two or one so you see continue continue you see
the first one good very clear not so much volume but clear the second one very complete in almost
everything but it will be armed so much so like always correct the third one really russian style
with the body action but very clear that all of three is correct just in three different
ways. Dance Today continues to create entertaining and educational content
