SESSION FIVE: Kick-Ass Dancing

Hey Emma,

I loved that you loved the 360 Collect sequence!!!!

Here are the videos from tonight's session:

• Session 5 - Carlos and Emma - (music): http://youtu.be/zAMqgO7AN6g
• Session 5 - Demo by Carlos and Elli - (music) : http://youtu.be/3UF0AqpzAqQ

Key learnings from today's session were:

1. In the move where the arm is flicked behind the back:
• Make sure to poke the fingers out and curl them so Carlos can use them
• Keep your body square to Carlos and wind into him on the 5 count.
2. When you come out of that turn, swing your hammerlock arm around ready to collect with Carlos' hand. Let your left arm trail across his back.
3. When you do the checks, don't grip Carlos' hand and look for parallel floor lines with the arm styling on the 3 count.
4. 360 Collect move, the 5.6.7 turns need to be shorter steps.
5. The trick:
• Focus on kicking and snapping the legs as soon as possible.
• Keep the legs tight (no gaps)
• Let the starfish arms help give you energy to go around (symmetrical)
• Look for connection on Carlos' shoulder/torso to help you with a controlled landing.
• Land the base leg then the extension. 

All in all, the session went fabulously...
Looking forward to the next one :)

Hugs for now.
