Lesson 2: Introducing Simple Rhythmics

In the second lesson on 12th May we repeated what we did the week before, and then added what I call step frequency - simple time, double time, half time, and pauses. To keep matters simple, we worked with weight changes, not with actual double time forward steps. Also, we didn't yet really work with all possibilities, instead concentrating on double time.
These quick weight changes require a good connection between the partners, with the woman being attentive and maintaining her apile (forward energy) and the man remembering to not just do the weight changes himself, but actually leading them.
The music we used was that of Carlos di Sarli - more on him in a later post.
