Garion · Narion · Son Nari

SAID ON CAMERACHOAPEDIA QUOTE BOARD

NO. 01

If you feel the leader activate the frame, then you activate your frame too, follower. Because the leader is trying to lead.

Anarfrom “(BachaZouk) Undressing is way too hard for a bachata nerd! Garion & Anar broke it down and I finally kinda got it~ let's get it together! Garion & Anar LATIN Workshop”NO. 02

When I shift my weight, I focus on the floor. The hip movement starts from the push against the floor.

Sara Panerofrom “(Bachata) Sara Panero's ✨All in One✨ Lady Styling - Infinite Variations of Basic Hip! Plus Body Movement~”NO. 03

Treat passing straight through as your default. It's not about when to hook it — think of it as, you don't have to hook at all.

Kwaebaekfrom “(Bachata) DJ Turn Transitions With a Little Kwaebaek Wisdom 💡 — Kwaebaek Annie LATIN Open Class”NO. 04

Start with fast penguins, then go slower and slower, and after that practice with fewer penguins.

Masajosefrom “From national-favorite styling to trendy zouk style⭐️Bachata Lady Styling⭐️ by Nara & Sera feat. Sara, Andrea, Migle, Masa & Jose”NO. 05

In influence style, the head roll comes from shifting your center of gravity. There's really no concept of "ground" in it.

Grey y Laurenfrom “(Bachata) Swag-overload details of Influence-style movement — Grey & Lauren open class”NO. 06

For the follow, it's the feeling that the arm never comes off — you can even think of it as a stiff piece of wood. But the moment the arm starts to lose its tone, that wood suddenly turns into a rope.

Klui y Dallafrom “(Bachata) A 3-pack of today's hottest pattern connections + Dara's S-tier movement tips, all spilled 😍 Cluis & Dara open class @ Bonita”
