Still no class notepad!
Level 3
Spins for both the lead and follow, a little fun improvisation.
Noni showed led us follows through progressions to a fun fancy and dynamic spin on a cross-hand turn.
First was a normal one done in the right foot.
Second involved a quick switch from right foot to the left one, straight after 4. Maybe add a little kick while spinning, for energy.
Next one added a forward kick on 5, swinging the leg back on 6 into the spin to really build up the energy. And touching the floor on 7 on the way up.
To make it work, follows have to stay connected to the lead, centre focused and directed towards them, tension maintained in the arms cos follows are gonna need it to build up DA POWER. Woo, and may I say, hoo.
Apologies, but I didn’t listen to what was said for the leads, but they were taught to do a similar spin, also touching the ground on the way.
Afterthoughts
This class came in the nick of time. I don’t think I’ve ever sucessfully done a spin on one foot, lacking balance as I do.
I couldn’t get all the way up to making the foot switch look elegant, but at least I could now spin on one foot! Thinking about asking Steph if we can focus a couple of classes on spins. Spin spin spin. Keep saying it and it starts to sound funny. Doesn’t any word!
Level 2 class tonight at Fun Pit, then dinner with the camberwell crew. Go Friday!
