My latin instructor told me you're not supposed to slam into your partner on that one (much as I sometimes like to ). It's one of those blasted "illusion" steps where you lean into/toward your partner, but don't actually bump butts/hips. And speaking of shoulder taps, isn't "chugging" in Jive a more refined version of that?
Huh. I've been taught to bump...gently. Yeah, right. Haven't been able to make that work yet. Don't care to work on it any further to master the illusion.
yahh..tell that to my former teacher who used to send me flying across the room. I got so used to that, that when I started with my new teacher, I sent him flying. Chugging means a completely different thing to me....let's not mix up drinking lingo with steps...I'm already confused enough
actually, I was good. Two others went *boom* flat on the dance floor on Saturday night. And my friend happened to have her cell phone in her hand, captured the event on video.
bock bock bock.... She really goes quite more side to side than I've seen some do...which I cannot watch myself do (vomituitous moment). I prefer just a little (chick walk?) turnout.
I was going to say the same thing, but most of the time I see chicken its already breaded.... The only "reason" for the name I can think of is rather unflattering -- long skinny legs sticking out below a pooffy short skirt would be something like chicken's legs.....
I just realised tonight that I hate all poses that require you to have Karina's legs or be Karina. I am referring to those semi drops where you throw a leg in the air or those things where you almost sit on your feet and grab his leg (I am quite sure I saw Elena do such a pose with Slavik in a Chacha). I mean, if I was a World Superstars gal sure, go ahead and add them to our routine! Else they will look awful. As you can imagine, I vetoed any and all such ideas my teacher had, and he had to resort to more classic moves. I feel sorry for him. NOT. T_E
