My name is Jym Cole. My business name is Sunstrike Dancesport. I started ballroom dancing in 2008. In 2013, I took the leap and started teaching. This channel teaches and educates about ballroom dancing and social dancing. It also demonstrates steps and technique to help make your ballroom dancing better. It also covers topics related to ballroom dancing such as clothing, footwear, etiquette, health and fitness. Ballroom dancing is my passion, and I want to share it with you!
Great video. Good stuff. One of our teachers here stressed that to make that pivot work well was that the couple had to lock their inner thighs when spinning through it. You guys did it perfectly! He also stressed that the partners are familiar with each other and comfortable with the close connection.
How does the rollower know she is supposed to switch feet and rock step on her left foot? I do a similar move but the follower rock steps on her right foot. Cross in front with a triple step and rock step on her left. Cross back and then out.
@@sunstrikedancesportjymcole Yes. From right to right. There is 4 beats of the music for her to end up beside you where she should do a rock step with her right foot. 2 beats for the rock step. then 2 beats to get to your other side where she does a rock step with her left. The follower has to get back to your right to get out. You can't get out from a left foot bak step. I can see in the video your partner holding a sep to change feet. On a separate note I like to change hands in a more subtle way. Doing an underhand turn or a right side pass and bring the followers right hand down into my right hand. The follower doesn't even know I changed hands. A waist turn is another option.
@@sunstrikedancesportjymcole I'm not sure what you meant. My "separate note" was talking about how to get a right to right at the beginning of the move. I completely agree that there are many ways to get into a right to right as well as many ways to get out of a cuddle. Ten different instructors will give you nine different ways to do it.
Living in Florida for the past 10 years just watching that is making me shiver. Below 70 here is COLD! 🥶 I’ll stick to dancing. 💃🏿🕺 Enjoy your time on the slopes!
Great basic tango moves. Never saw the ronde flick move but am familiar with the ronde and flick individually. Again seems pretty easy and looks nice. Will have to try it. 👍
Are u using the binddings which came with tem, and if you do not mine, which boot size u are running. I am not sure can stock bindings accommodate my 44eu boot (because I am thinking of getting a pair od 50% discount atm)
Good stuff but like MOST dance vids this is frustrating because we never see the complete step. Most of us would like to see where we're going BEFORE we see how to get there. Demonstrate the complete step THEN chop it into parts.
I love the Peabody! Only one teacher down here in Leesburg, Fl ever taught it but he stopped for the pandemic and never restarted the class after things settled down. Is there a bit of upper body motion as part of the steps? In most dances upper body motion is frowned upon and we’re told “too much top”.
That was FANTASTIC! Wow! Great dip! Not too many people even heard of the Peabody much less dance it. We had a teacher that taught it occasional down here in Florida but he stopped his classes during the pandemic and never started them up again.
Hey Jym, I have another quick question: what dances do your students have the most difficulty learning? Recently we’ve been covering the WC Swing and NC 2 Step in 2 of our informal retirement community classes here and find them the most difficult to learn for me. Do you have any videos posted for them? Thanks, John
Wc swing is very difficult at first , especially if you come from a ballroom background. Ft he basic concept are backwards. NC 2 step is so similar in feel to bolero I end up doing bolero
@@sunstrikedancesportjymcole you got to take that first step. Main thing is you’ve gotten better and more comfortable over the years to the point that you’re comfortable sharing your talents with the rest of us online. It’s especially helpful to reinforce and clarify points that I’m uncertain of as well as to learn some new things. Thanks again for sharing!
