  • your hip, all right?

  • So bounce forward and around.

  • By the way, are you guys just tuned in?

  • All right, so let me rewind everything.

  • What's up, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another episode of Ballroom with Alexei.

  • Today we're going to break down figure whisk and samba.

  • Let's do it.

  • Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's begin.

  • So our starting point is going to be on the two feet, and we're going to do a bounce action, yeah?

  • So we have to first lower to move somewhere, all right?

  • Remember, we're lowering and then moving to any direction.

  • So we're doing bounce.

  • Now from here, we're pushing from the right foot and moving to the left.

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

  • 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

  • 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

  • And now let's break it down, all right?

  • So we're going to start, as I said, from the bounce, right?

  • We're going to move to the left, so our pushing leg is the right.

  • So now from the bounce, I'm pushing 1, 2, 3, yes?

  • On 1, 2, 3, entire three counts, my hip moves forward and around and back, yes?

  • Exactly the same way like we did in the previous video where I talked about fundamental hip action in samba.

  • If you haven't seen it, I highly, highly recommend for you guys to check it out.

  • I'll leave the link in the description below, all right?

  • So keep going.

  • 1, 2, 3, right?

  • So hip goes forward and around.

  • On count 4, I keep rising up.

  • 4, I'm collecting my thighs really tight together, yes?

  • I'm opening my hip, I'm moving my hip back.

  • And now 5, 6, 7, 8, I am doing the same action with the hip.

  • I'm moving it forward, so I'm bouncing, right?

  • That's bounce.

  • 5, 6, 7, right?

  • So 5, 6, 7, forward, side and back.

  • 8 is the step to decide, yes?

  • 8, and again, right away I'm leaning into the bounce.

  • 1, 2, 3, 4, hip back, 5, 6, 7, hips forward in the bounce on 6, 6, 7, 8, and hip goes forward and around.

  • And now I'm pushing my whole weight on the right foot and I'm pushing myself to the left like in the very beginning.

  • And 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, right?

  • Forward and around, and forward and around, forward and around, and forward and around, forward and around, and forward and around.

  • So now let's repeat the same action from the different side, from the different angle.

  • I'm sweating already.

  • Okay, so starting from the remember, you first have to go down, then you move, right?

  • You never move in samba from straight.

  • So you're lowering, then you're moving, right?

  • And 1, 2, 3, bounce, 1, 2, 3, 4, hip up, 5, bounce, bounce, right?

  • Right here you can practice this action.

  • 5, and 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, a 2, 1, a 2.

  • Make sure that you pressing down into the floor, right?

  • So feel like you have something on your shoulders.

  • Pretend that you have something heavy on your shoulders which pressing you down, right?

  • So don't make your action up and down.

  • Don't make your action up and down very light, right?

  • So make it a little bit more grounded.

  • Down, up, down, down, 2, 2, and 1, 2, 3, 4, hip up, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, right?

  • So guys, the main thing here is that forward and around action, right?

  • So that was my main concentration.

  • Make sure that you enough attention into the bounce and forward and around action.

  • Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for watching this video with me.
