Dance In Time Productions - Instructional Videos

Many of these are moves that we work on in class. I thought some readers might want to watch this for review. This not only jogs your memory on how the steps are done, but also helps you recall which move has which name.

Here is the list of moves that are done in the above video---in order:

Enchufla Doble ("starts like enchufla but push her back")
Puente (with 3 couples)
Dame
Festival de Adios (three of them in a row with no basics in between)
Dame
Setenta (straight hand hold)
Dame
Dame
Pa ti pa mi
Dame
Dame Dos
Dame Arriba (go backwards around the circle)
Baslero y Beso (first 8 beats of Balsero and the entire Beso move--this is cross hand-hold)
Dame
Dame con las manos/Tranca/Hombres/Pa ti pa mi
Dame
Vacila (like Sombrero but not holding hands)
Dedo Extended (Dedo and right into Montana, which is just Dedo but holding both hands. Note this is also cross hand-hold.)
Setenta Nuevo (first 12 beats of Setenta, then guy goes under his right arm
while turning to his right, does "sliding glass doors" and the guy turns in place, then two handed enchufla, etc.)
Vacila
Dame/Dame Dos/Dame Arriba
Candado (march off stage...)

------------------------
Sin Nombre Especiale is the more complicated and longer move. Glen taught both of these moves in our VA class in April of 2009, and you can watch the longer version in the two pieces that follow..
It was so complex that we didn't get one continuous video of the entire sequence, but we got nearly all of it in two video segments and the part in between is described verbally below.....

There is a nice component of the move in the Part 1 clip I want to point out. In the middle of the fourth set of 8 beats, there is a copa, but it is led in a very unusual position, with the guy's hands in contact with the lady's hands only. This requires skill both to lead and follow but it's an interesting version of a copa move.

Please note that after the end of this "part 1" video, there are some beats missing before the part 2 clip below. In addition, the center of the circle is behind the couple as you watch part 1 but it is where the camera was located in part 2. Here is what happens between the two video clips in the move. After the arm split shown at the end of Part 1 above, the leader turns the lady to her left. Then he moves her behind him so that she is moving linearly straight back, exactly like in the move Promenade. Then when the lady is facing the same way as the leader but is behind him, he turns her to her right, leading her with his right hand---exactly as we do in the move LA de Glen. Then the leader turns left to face her.

At this point we pick up where the video in Part 2 begins. Specifically, the leader turns the lady to her left while his left arm goes over her head, and then unwinds her to her right, about one and a half to one and three quarters of a turn. He then throws her right arm behind her waist... You can watch the rest in Part 2! (And note the cool arm toss to behind the lady's back at the beginning of the third set of 8 beats in Part 2.)

Thanks to all those who helped in the preparation of these videos--Ilene, Rita, Sheila, Rodrigo, Anka, Fred, Monica, Yadiel, Yvonne, Anna, and others--as well as to Glen for patient instruction in bringing many of these moves to life.
