The Draw to Perform Experience

This is a composite video of Day 1 – what a wonderful summary of such a diverse series of performances.

This was such an interesting time for me. Meeting Jan, being around such artistic talent – experiencing something new.

Artists are all credited in the video – but from me a special thanks to Jan Rae, Ram Samocha and to Domenico Dominelli for creating such a professional summary video.

Giros – A summary of the mans footwork

Four variations of the footwork in Giros.

Notes

Mark/Secada strong beats
Never mark the side after back this is double time
Simple changes of direction man stays collected
Default for going to right is my right on her forward step
Default for going to left is my left on her forward step

On the side we can enter more in the middle of the step and receive a wrap

Detailed Sequences of the man

Number one

1st: woman cross, Right forward, left side, right back, left side and final pívot.

Man right sacada, left sacada, wait, right mark and pívot with right foot

2nd: woman cross, Right forward, left side, right back, left side, right F, left S, right B, left S, right F and final pívot.

Man right sacada, left sacada, wait, right mark, left sacada, right sacada, wait with traspié, right mark and pívot with right foot.

Both sequences with a final traspié of man marking the pívot with his right foot

Number two

Almost the same thing as the first one, but the second giro starts with man left sacada, right sacada, wait, left mark, right sacada, a left sacada, and a right mark immediatly before final woman pivot with right foot

Number three

Man left sacada to the woman trailing leg (the right one), right sacada, wait and left mark, right sacada, left sacada, wait and mark with the right foot and final pívot marked with left foot

Number four

Same thing as the 3rd video but after the pivot we change giro direction with women right F, left S, back amago and coming with right F.

Man sacada with right, traspié during women back amago, collect and spectacular final and amazing pose to a perfect end!!
