Double Two
During May modified: In Hania Richmond’s class
last week, the hand hold had significant importance while Beginners learned
the Spin Whip. Pinky-to-Pinky was the secret in getting this move down
right. The Intermediate lesson
evolved with the Spin Whip taking a second turn on the triple. Hania coached
follows to dance their part strongly explaining whomever is forward line of
dance determines who is the assertive partner. This is true in all dances where the move
is leap frogging. Learn about leap frogging and more this
week, as Hania concludes her Double Two lessons this Wednesday. |
