Drags are a super flexible, and iconic move that can be used at basically any point of the song, and basically any tempo of song. Plus, look at the pretty picture they make! I love doing them, and I hope you enjoy.
Big thanks to Rafal Pustelny for your excellent leading and for helping me with this video.

Thanks for more great leader content, it feels like Christmas! I've only learned drags in Balboa (with easier entrance) but I'm feeling ready to practice this. And thanks for the B roll of added inspiration, it's ghost pepper spicy!

@LauraGlaess 6 месяцев назад

Yes! Ghost pepper spicy! I want people to try stuff. Don't wait for me to teach it. Just see if you can do it!

Hey Laura, really love your channel and got into venacular jazz because watching your videos really makes you want to move and try out different variations. I really enjoy your "old" intro alot. Maybe you could do a video where you explain the moves? Thanks for all your effort ❤

@LauraGlaess 6 месяцев назад

I'm glad you like it! Let me know which intro and which move you mean! I'll totally try it

@michaelturk6010 6 месяцев назад

@@LauraGlaess I rewatch your videos alot and i probably skip the intro sometimes, but you have not used it for a while. The Intro that is in your six count cirlce video for example. It got a six count tuck turn from open to side by side where you step through and you do stuff afterwards. I remember you saying that Brooks led this a bunch of times in the past but you never explained the part that comes afterwards. It got a Barrel in place and a tango variation among other things. I think they all look super flashy and i could imagine you picked them for a reason for your intro. Thanks again for all your effort, currently learing the Tranky Doo with your videos

@michaelturk6010 5 месяцев назад

Just found your routine videos which answer alot of questions.

@Ringpommelman Месяц назад

Thank you so much for this!! What is the name of the move at the very end of the video, where the leader "flips" you up/give u momentum with his leg?

@klukjaniuk 6 месяцев назад

O Rafał our Polish dancer :) I was teaching recently the same thing in my classes, shame that it was before this video hehe :)

@rehhaus5857 Месяц назад

Where did you get your boots? I've been looking for them since my previous pair wore out a few years ago! (My previous source is out of business.)

@hydr9756 6 месяцев назад

i was JUST thinking to myself, what's that move where the follow falls into the lead and then the two of them move lazily around the room as if they're both asleep. and now i know.

@LauraGlaess 6 месяцев назад

Ha! I love this description.

@XL-co4li 6 месяцев назад

I still find it a bit Lindy hoppers pull the follow in. I’ve always been taught to let the follow decide to come into close embrace (by following momentum). Admittedly it won’t work on a lot of follows who aren’t comfortable with it, but I feel like that’s more reason to not force it on them?

@LauraGlaess 6 месяцев назад

Ah, to me, I feel like I wouldn't lunge unless the leader pulls me in. I would just take the same sized step as the last step to keep the velocity consistent, and then we might end up in a regular front to front closed position that might look similar to Balboa. To me, the lunge is part of makes drags look so different. However, I think follow can definitely choose not to follow it if they are uncomfortable or if it feels like the lead isn't trustworthy.
