>> Nicole: Welcome to Dance Papi. My name is Nicole Lazo and this is Chris Penales.
Today we're going to be doing the Coin Drop. We're going to go ahead and show you guys
a couple times. It looks like this. 1, 2, 3, we'll switch
the hand. 5, 6, 7, to the shoulder. 1, 2, 3, the guy will come back to see us. 5, 6,
7, hair brush. 1, 2, 3, and 5, 6, 7. Guys, I'm going to break down your footwork
first because it is a little different. Chris is going forward on the count of 1.
1, 2, 3, just like the regular basic. Then slowly, we're going to the side for 5. He's
going to replace 6 on his left foot and put all the weight on his left foot, because he
will squeeze his right foot in and do a half turn on 7. From here, he's going to go forward
for another 1, turn, look at his partner on 2, and then together on 3, back break and
finish the basic step on 5, 6, 7. We'll do it a couple more times. Guys are
going to go forward on 1, 2, 3. Go out to the side 5, replace 6, turn 7, go forward
and go back to see your partner, 2, 3, back break. 5, 6, 7. One more time. 1, 2, 3, to
the side. 5, 6, 7 forward. 1, go back, 2, 3, and then back break 5, 6, 7. Guys, once
you have that down you can try it with your partner. We'll start with closed position
and we're going switch the hand right to right on the count of 3 so it looks like this, 1,
2, 3. Leaders, as you're turning your partner you're going to be turning at the end of this
as well. It's very important that you make sure she starts the turn first and you're
going to finish it up. The hand is going to go around my head, 5.
As I do this, Chris is going out the right with his right foot, and then he's replacing
6. Now the hand is going to go to his shoulder as he goes away from me for his half turn on 7.
Let's do that again, just the first part. We'll switch the hand on the count of 3.
1, 2, 3, start the ladies turn as you break to the side leaders. 5, 6, go away from her, 7.
Ladies, even if you see your partner do something special and they don't pull or
lead you anywhere else, just do what they have asked you to do, so right now that was
just a right turn. Guys, you're going to leave the hand on her shoulder as you bring your
right hand down to your hip. Leaders, what you want to do is, your palm is going to be
up just like this. If you lead the hand, you have to give her
an option of where you want her to go. I can see his hand there. As he goes forward, he's
going to extend his hand back towards me on the count of 1. Ladies, I haven't got a special
lead here, so I'm just doing my basic step. He's going to go forward, my hand is going
to fall on 1, he'll look at me, 2, and then bring my hand back up on the count of 3. We'll
finish it off with a right turn 5, 6, 7, and then a hair brush. 1, 2, 3 shoulder turn,
5, 6, 7. Let's try that again. We're going to switch the hand on the count of 3. 1, 2,
3, guys are going to turn us as he goes out to the right. 5, 6, 7, drop the hand and go
to the hip as you go forward, leaders, and extend.
1, turn to see her 2, 3, right turn, 5, 6, 7, hair brush, 1, 2, 3, shoulder turn, 5,
6, 7. Doing it fast is a little hard. You're going to place the hand and go right to your
hip. We'll do it a little faster for you guys. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, drop the hand, 1, 2, 3, and 5, 6, 7.
All right, here it comes with music, the Coin Drop.
5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. As you can see, Chris is
coming back to see me as he's doing the Coin Drop pretty fast. You can't hang out over
there at all, guys. When Chris does the turn out to the side, and comes forward, and comes
right back to see me so he's ready for my turn on the count of 5. It's really important
that you give her a lead and the pre-lead. The hand has to be up by 3 and turn on 5 so
she's not behind. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7.
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. Ladies, we're not doing anything super special here, we're just doing
a right turn and a basic and then a right turn. You never want to do anything out of
the ordinary that he hasn't led you to do yet. So hang back, wait for the lead.
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, hair brush, and we're done.
