Exploring Promenade | Part Three: Rolling Sways
We are back with the third part to this three-part series about exploring how to create depth and dynamics in a simple combination focused on Promenade Position. In this video, we laser in on a specific type of sway called "Rolling Sways". We take the same combination we used in the first two videos and discuss how we can create rolling sways in order to change the look, feel, even alignment of the steps. Then we give you a bonus step at the end of the tutorial to dramatically increase the difficulty of the combination, just in case you didn't think rolling sways was hard enough!

    Confused!!! Two 360s in three beats of music. Are the following terms to be differentiated, or do they refer to the same thing? Natural Pivots. Spin Turns. Spin Pivots. Also, do you ever do Reverse Pivots?

    Love that do!! Can't believe it's 4 years old, and I'm just now seeing it for the first time as of yesterday. I could not stop watching it. I wondered what the take down was like and whether or not you were involved in that too. I was curious as to the steps involved in taking down a hairdo such as this one. I have seen other dance hair styling videos, but most of them are in Russian. Yours is the first I've seen in English, so it was a real treat for that reason also. If you did the take down, what was the first step, and how many times did you shampoo her? What was the first step? I realize hairspray is a must for a do like this. Lastly, did you do her color? Just curious as a fan of great hairdressing. I recognize the yellow can of a great hairspray and note that it is a favorite of trhe Russian stylists, as well. I watched some of your other hair videos and can relate to your comment about hairspray changing the color of blonde hair especially and why you used lots of it on your model/assistant. Thanks for all you do.

    I love how clearly you guys explain and demonstrate everything, with all the specific tips and pitfalls! I do have a question for the leads: how do we lead the difference between a regular hover corte and a hover Corte with develope? I see the difference in rise and fall, but the develope already begins before that if I understand correctly? Is it by making the 'hip go' through the body rise @13:46?

    I'd like to see a supercut of nothing but samba rolls by top couples - that would be so cool. In fact - how about a novelty samba routine where it's more or less endless samba roll variations? Samba's answer to the Viennese Waltz - ha. Always loved them.
