Beginner moves:
MAN SPIN
YO YO
MAN GUITAR
Tips when doing these moves.
When doing the Yo Yo, men, take care to extend your right hand at the ladies shoulder height so that you do not hit her face.
When doing the Man Spin, men make sure you signal the move with your right palm facing the floor at waist height.
When doing the man guitar men need to make sure that they turn a 1/2 turn ACW to collect their lady, it is more common that a man tends not to turn in enough, making it difficult for the lady to get the message that she is doing a Man Guitar.
Intermediate moves:
MAN GUITAR MANHATTAN
YO YO LASSO & LEAN
MANSPIN WALK AROUND & FLICK SPIN
Tips when doing these moves
Man Guitar Manhattan involves the man holding on with his left hand as he turns the lady 1 1/2 turns CW. If he lets go she will spin away before the Manhattan, which will abort the move.
Men when doing the Yo Yo Lasso & lean, make sure you turn a 1/4 turn CW in order to line yourself up to comb and lean. From a safety point of view, men must always place their left foot right up next to the ladies right foot, so she is close enought to do the lean without hurting her.
Men make sure you turn a complete 1/2 turn CW to offer your right hand to walk around. Change places with the lady as you flick spin her.
We really hope you enjoyed last weeks moves. Ask for help next week if you wish to recap them.
At Dance Verve we always incorporate two beginner moves and one intermediate move from the previous week's lesson, in order to refresh your last week's skills and to help you link them to new moves.
