four and one so it's basically four right um i'm sorry rondae chasse yes so we have a check
four right on the left leg two three rounded four together feet to the side one from here i want you
to still keep your weight more um 50 50 split it so do not travel too much on your left leg
yes keep your your weight more up between two legs and we'll have a body weight four two three four
one for a full bar she three four one yes one more time i want you to repeat check or on the chasse
four and one keep your weight 50 50 splitted and we'll have a body wave two three four one

three three four one let's try one more time check for it four and one two three
four one and the last time and check forward rondee four and one two three four one
very good job i hope you're dancing and practicing together with me now let's try to connect these
two parts together in one so we'll start with the box step and left leg two and three four and
one cube and break two three cocaracha four one check forward two run the chasses four and one
body wave two three four one one more time i will turn around so you can follow me and two and three
four and one two three four and one and i made a mistake right now i'm just checking on you
now honestly i literally forget because for me this uh combo is also new so we are actually
learning and practicing it together together today let's try one more time from the box left leg two
and three four and one keeping break two three coconuts are four one check two round chassis four
uh one body wave four one let's try one more time and box two and three four and one given break
two three who cares four one check two three four and one by the wave and one
great job so we have two more sections and i want you to continue to learn this combo together with
me okay the next um movement after our body wave when we finish four one so we're not going to
finish on two legs straight and we stop movement we're not going to stop the movement so after the
body wave two three four prepare on count one will have a rendez with our right foot so one
more time we have a body wave two three four shift your weight more towards the left leg and now one
only with the right foot one shuffle step two and three four and one so when we have
the shuffle step here yes after the rounding the steps are pretty simple after the round that we
have step back feet together step to the side while we step into the side we're starting our
wrong day right away so step to the side though day step back together side and trendy step back
together side and trendy right away step back feet together side step and trendy we'll have only two
movements like that yes so after the body weight two three four prepare for your only one and you
can soften your standing leg so it will give you better stability on the leg and the balance
yes so one round two and three four and one only two after that we will have a syncopated time step
two and three so here we just keep our feet together and we're changing the body weight
two and three side step and the next it's our turn it's very similar to kind of salsa turn
yes four and one so um good things to remember during this turn when we are stepping with our
foot forward we are not transferring the body weight fully on the leg i want you to just touch
the floor with your left foot only with the ball so we're not moving our spine to that leg we want
to create a faster turn so from here just touch with the ball p but you're standing right leg so
your weight mainly on your right leg and now from here you can pivot more and direct your
spine and direct yourself to the step back so one more time we just touch with our left foot
floor in front of us pivoting our standing foot pivoting even more on our standing right leg
and then we're taking a step back yes so one more time so when we finish the shuffle let's
do it from the shuffle so we have one day two and three four and one second time step
two and three and now it's our turn four and one and i want you to step on your left foot but at
the same time i want you to continue the movement yes because we'll have two counts after that
which is a slow so after one two three i want you to continue the movement you can actually
after the turn you can land on the soft knee and recover for two counts yes by sliding dragging
your foot in if you feel more stability after the turn on the straight legs it's fine too but just
remember to not stop your movement continue to drag your foot for two counts two three okay so
step by step um let's i will turn around so we'll start um our new steps from the body wave
yes so we're doing body wave two three four shuffle step with the round on the right leg
one two and three four and one second time step two and three and now from here we have a turn
four and one two three so i have a very great example when i have my dog assisting me
yeah so when we have a turn we're not trying to step there yes and move inside his space or her
space yeah so we're kind of teasing um our partner or the audience with our turn so i want to just
slightly touch his yes go inside his space but not with my spine just with my foot and i'm
already turning and then i'm stepping back away from my partner or from the audience
that's um what you should think during this type of turns so we are not stepping yes because turn
gonna be pretty fast and i want you to be uh and feel most efficient during this turn and um
balance as well so let's repeat everything together from the top so we have a box step i'm
gonna dance facing to you first then i will turn around so we can practice uh you can practice and
follow me yes let's start with the left leg box step two and three four and one cuban break two
