Thank you for posting 🎶
Pleasant and smart. Thank you!
Super move. Hope to test this out tomorrow! Thanks for demonstrating and explaining in detail the important Push Spin technique which is used in other moves. I think for myself it will be useful and helpful to remember and store this in my repertoire together with Basket Cog Turn and Push Spin Walkaround. PS homework for the week has started 🤣
Very nice, but quite a bit to remember there. I've seen people doing this, and now I know what it is, and how (in theory 😂) to do it too!
This one seems like one maybe I can do. Thank you for showing me this
I think the main thing I need to remember on this is that inside turn = anticlockwise turn.
Very nice elegant move, clearly demonstrated and explained, with good emphasis on safety aspects. I had assumed Sway Lean was the same move as I'm already familiar with and that Thursday homework would be a doddle! But it's not 🤣 Learning never stops!😂
Lovely neat and elegant move, with interesting but simple mechanics. Hope to test it out this week! Homework for the week has started 😂
Thank you for showing me this
Nice! And as soon as you said simple as that I thought I'd have a go at learning this🤣 This Thursday's homework isn't too bad! PS this move is on the stylish side, which could make it difficult for those of us who find stylish extremely challenging😅 And I suspect it's called Blues Comb because we'll have the Blues if we can't do it 😂🤣
I think that's the reason 😉
Thank you for posting
Another super move to memorise and include in the repertoire! Homework for the week has started early! And your mention of Pretzel Bounce reminds me I need to revise that move and also Pretzel Hip Bumps! Learning, relearning and remembering never stops 😂🤣
As someone who finds footwork extremely challenging, I find I have to watch videos like this many times before I understand what's going on. So the more times I watch it, the more I understand. Just been watching it again and because I've studied some of your other Colombian videos, eg Colombian and Back, Colombian Turns and Colombian Shoulder Slide, as well as your Tango videos, I've been introduced to the terms in synch, out of synch, and the amazing term asynchronous! As a result I'm understanding a lot more, and can now appreciate what you mean when you say there are several different sorts of Colombians! They're definitely not easy, although paradoxically out of synch/asynchronous is easier! You could say they're definitely not a cinch/synch🤣😂
Excellent demonstration, and explanation that Manspin, Shoulder Slide and Step Across are all basically the same move, but done at different heights. Excellent way of remembering them!
Really nice! Another must for the repertoire! However, I was initially puzzled, because you mentioned standard Colombian which I thought was step behind, step in front, for both the lady and the man, something I think you've called in sync in the Colombian Turns video. But then you explained that it was technically an asynchronous Colombian because because one went in front while the other went behind. This is presumably called out of sync. I feel I've learned more dancing terms in this video, as well as a fantastic move 😂
Very nice neat move! Ends just like a First Move Outside Turn.Another must for the repertoire! PS plenty of homework this week 🤣
Nice neat and doable move, with some very useful and helpful revision of the Accordion included! PS back to normal after the Christmas break, with homework to start the week. Learning never stops 😂
Really useful collection of moves and in a format where you can easily pick out moves that suit your style. Many thanks for this.
This channel is very underrated. It deserves more recognition
Nice and reasonably doable move. Nicely demonstrated and explained, particularly regarding what can go wrong, so we are forewarned!
Nice neat move! Another one for the repertoire. Learning never stops 🤣
So far this is the easiest one - Thank you for sharing
A record that would suit Pretzel Hip Bumps is surely The Bump, by Kenny 🤣😂
What a lovely neat little move! Very clearly explained and demonstrated. It's one of those moves I want to learn and try out on the dancefloor straightaway! I shall try to remember it as a Pretzel with two bumps in the middle 😂Nice bit of homework for the end of the week. I had my doubts though when I saw the name of the move, but when I saw the video was not too long I guessed it couldn't be too complicated.
Very nice move which looks straightforward and doable! Some straightforward homework to start the week!
Enjoy!
Very very nice! It's another one of those moves that one just has to include in one's repertoire! Even before you recommended it after the demonstration and explanation of this move, I was already thinking it would be useful to revise Sway Walk Turns which is a similar move and shares a similar technique. PS hard homework for Thursday, learning and relearning never stops 😂🤣
It's a great move, glad you like it. If you and your partner have reliable technique this will work fine but on the flip side if you have something shaky technique wise this may well show it up (that's useful too though, can't fix something if you don't know it's broke). Hope you have fun with it.
Interesting move, almost not modern jive/ceroc, ideal for Chubby Checker, The Twist! PS I thought before seeing the video this was going to be The Twist as in the move which is called The Sit in Salsa, a cross between a lean and a dip. I was surprised that it was Chubby Checker's Twist!
Great thing about Modern Jive is the amazing amount of freedom in what you can do.. as a result you can find things from all over, often unexpected things, that you can incorporate and will work great. The challenge is to try things out and see what works well for you and your partner, if it's fun and leadable/followable why not? Cheers, N
Thank you for posting this dance. I'v still got a lot to learn 🙂
You're welcome 😊
Nice move, with an interesting technique. Bit of footwork too, which is useful for expanding one's knowledge. But a lot going on there, and I'm still grappling with Colombian Turns! So I don't think I'm ready to get on this train just yet😂 PS homework is very hard this week!
After a day of studying this video, thinking about it, and mimicking the move, I think I understand what's happening! Now I need to make sure I remember and don't forget 😂 I'm hoping Colombian Turns will help with other moves.
This is one of those annoying moves that I like so much, but find so incredibly difficult to understand and learn. I'm a slow learner so this is going to take a long time to sink in! One comment regarding the description of what to do. The first time you turn the lady it's anticlockwise, the second time, going back the other way, it's clockwise. But in both occasions you call it a turn. Usually you refer to the anticlockwise turn as a return, and the clockwise turn as a turn. So I find the explanation of this move confusing. And while step behind step in front is a familiar instruction for the Colombian, I find the term in sync puzzling, so more confusion! As with other things, it's quite difficult for someone who understands something complicated to explain it to someone who doesn't understand it! At the end of the day, as always, it's up to me to study the video and your verbal explanation in detail and repeatedly in order to understand and learn the move. I thought First Move Traverse and Circular Colombian were difficult, but I managed to get my head round them, but Colombian Turns is one or more steps beyond them in difficulty, reminding me of some of your Tango moves which I gave up trying to learn 😂
That's an amazingly super move, but also amazingly complex and complicated, especially for those of us who find footwork difficult and challenging! But it's such a fabulous move that I'm determined to learn it and improve my footwork. It's the sort of move that in class can shatter your confidence and leave you dejected. So glad I'm familiar with the Colombian! PS this week's homework is very hard. I knew it was going to be difficult when I saw the length of the video 6:9, much longer than the usual 3 or 4😂
I like this move as I feel for my lady when she is spinning all the time. Im on the look out for moves that calm it down a bit then I think you can punch the fast or more technical moves. Cheers
Glad you like it.
Just watching this excellent video again after having been seen Tango ochos demonstrated at ceroc class last night. It was a confidence shattering experience, so I'm returning to your videos to get back on track and regain confidence!😂 I can see that being able to do the Full Tango Box with a lady on the dancefloor would be a great pleasure and achievement! So it's still on the to do list 😂
Very nice. But although the move seems easy and straightforward from the visual demonstration and verbal explanation, we would still need to practise it to make it look as relaxed and elegant as in the video. It's another challenge for those of us who find footwork difficult!
Nice straightforward move, nicely demonstrated and explained. I particularly like the explanation of the physics of the Pushspin technique which will also be useful in other moves. I think I'll keep this in my repertoire along with Accordion American Spins which is also a right to right move! PS fairly doable homework this week which won't leave my head in a spin😂
Nice move, from one year ago. Surprised and disappointed that I missed it when it first came out. The Mirrored Sway is quite attractive. Glad I have some experience of it from Basket Into Mirrored Sway. Some useful footwork for those of us who find footwork extremely challenging!
Nice move, but rather a lot to remember. And a whole new area of combs to explore, discover and learn. Difficult homework this week! Could be some time before I'm able to attempt this. PS will these combs have us tearing our hair out 😂🤣
What a super combination of the two moves. Glad I have already learned and been doing the Octopus Swirl, but I need to revise the Neck Wrap Push Spin. Look forward to trying this combination out soon. Reminds me of another super move, the Octopult. PS more homework for Thursday! Learning and relearning never stops 😂
Thank you !
Interesting and useful introduction to some more footwork, the hook step. Great for those of us who struggle with footwork!
Really nice move. Yet another one to learn for the repertoire! Look forward to trying this out on Friday! PS learning never stops 🤣😂
Nice move. I remember though learning before the pandemic lockdown, a move called Sway With Walk where instead of both walking with the same feet, you walk a mirror image, ie inner foot, outer foot. Both look good and work. Great expansion of learning and repertoire, so you can find moves to suit the music that's playing, even if you don't like the music!😅
Really fantastic move, very nicely explained and demonstrated, but quite a bit to learn and remember, so it could be some time before I can test this out on the dancefloor! Particularly like the way you change sides at the end, passing back to back. PS I remember learning Wrap In Roll Through from your video of that move and enjoying trying it out on the dancefloor. So I may be part way there 😂
Quite nice, and quite complex! Reminds me a bit of Double Combs, a slightly simpler move! I think I'll leave this till a later time.
Very nice, and deceptively simple. But to do it anywhere as elegantly and smoothly as you, is not going to be easy!
See what I mean?!?!? Mangle? These tutorials are so misleading..
I thought this was a tutorial for breaking someone’s neck. Thanks for wasting my time.
Very nice, but very athletic too! Spinning/turning the lady by means of your hips Shirley Bassey style is pretty difficult! I tried a Hip Spin several times and failed miserably🤣 PS Hip Wurlitzer has elements of the Catapult Shoulder Cross which I'm comfortable with, so I might be able to progress to the Hip Wurlitzer one day!
Very picturesque ❤
Thank you kindly.
