Advanced Toe Slide Combo in Advanced Flamenco Dancing

"Hi! Thank you for visiting Expertvillage. com. My name is Yvette Parrish. So we had the toe point and then the heel with the opposite foot together. Toe point, heel at the opposite foot. Toe, heel together. Toe, heel together. Toe, heel together. Toe, heel together. Once you are in this position, I am sliding my back foot, all my weight now is on my back foot, my right foot is every light, you see very light and all you power is your back foot. Take your skirt, you can pull it up this way, right or you can bring it to your knee like this. Bring it to your knee like that. So what I am going to do is grab my skirt to the side and every time I do my flat I am going to move my skirt around. Okay, so it is flat, flat, flat, flat. When you bring your skirt around elbow up. Okay, you do not want to be all wimpy like this, proud, elbow up, back, elbow up, back. Practice that a little bit. Up, up, up, up. Okay, this is a wimpy one and make sure that elbow is towards your audience. That is up back, up back, up back. Alright, now we are going to the add the flat. Okay, so watch your elbow that what we are going to practice snake arms, we are going elbow first. You are always leading with your elbow, lead with your elbow, if that makes any sense to you. All right, so that was a combination toe heel, toe heel, toe heel, toe heel. Now we are going faster. Okay, we have got the power of that fancy footwork when we are doing in front, in front, in front. So what I am doing, I am actually just walking and putting my foot in front of the other, but I am adding a knee. That is where the skirt is real pretty. Just put your hands on your waist as your not doing the hands right now and you just cross it. See how pretty the skirt moves. If you are adding a flat in there and now you can add your pretty arms. So it takes a while. Work on the lower half of your body, one day and work on your upper half of our body and then try to merge them together. Because it is hard trying to put them of together at one time. So work on your footwork and then the next day work on your pretty arms. The next day you work on your back to back foot work and then your hands."
