(Bachazouk) 5 rules of the tilt turn — check these before the social! Anar Lady Styling Workshop

“You can create the blocked position anywhere on the circle. A DJ turn, for example, is really just another variation of the tilt turn.”

CONTEXTExplaining the tilt turn as circular movement and how it relates to other moves

“The most important thing in a tilt turn is blocking the head, and the second most important thing is energy.”

Opening of an explanation of the core principles of the tilt turn (cabeza parada)

“You have to imagine the tilt turn as storing up energy and then bursting it out. You stay like ice, like stone — and then you release it, boom, and it creates a completely different energy.”

CONTEXTDemonstrating the difference between just blocking and releasing versus compressing energy and bursting it out

“That point where you're holding the energy in and then you burst it out — that's where the beauty of the tilt turn lives.”

CONTEXTEmphasized as the conclusion after demonstrating the compression and release of energy

“When you block, you have to block the neck, the chest, and most importantly the core. If you're not centered in your core, you're going to lose your balance.”

Explaining which body parts to block and how balance is maintained

“The head is very heavy, so if you drop it down, you fall. You have to lengthen upward to hold that weight.”

Explaining how head position and neck stretch affect balance

“The feet have to arrive before the head. Think of the feet as the foundation of a building and the head as the roof. The foundation has to be there before the roof arrives.”
