(BachaZouk Intermediate Class) Flip turn into prep — the multi-move combo — Sunara open class, LATIN #Bachata

“You find the meeting point between the two moves and just link them up. The preparation for the head move and the preparation for the filter — the flip turn — are the exact same thing.”

CONTEXTExplaining the core principle of the multi-move that links a head roll into a flip turn after the heel turn

“The lead gets the left hand ready, then lightly hooks the follow's hand that's resting on her waist — the energy closes the frame, and you naturally end up in a great position to go into the head.”

CONTEXTExplaining how to hook the hand to close the frame and transition into a head roll

“Head rolls — slow, slow, take your time.”

CONTEXTA cue about controlling the speed of the head roll

“As the chest open-close repeats and you rotate 90 degrees each time, the los chicos move comes out of it.”

CONTEXTExplaining how the los chicos move is generated using chest rotation

“Turn slowly so the follow can hold this angle, and follows, all you have to do is try to keep it.”

CONTEXTExplaining how lead and follow split the work in a flip, keeping the chest at 45 degrees

“The important thing here — you have to keep your head where it is.”

CONTEXTStressing that the head position stays fixed during the chest rotation
