Big Shawl Move in Advanced Flamenco Dancing

"Hi! Thank you for visiting Expertvillage.com. My name is Yvette Parrish. This is a full-size professional manton. It is a beautiful, beautiful piece of artwork and this was given to me as a gift and it is a really, really beautiful, beautiful piece. So, we are going to be dancing in it. It is going to be working a little bit different. Because now that we have got so much more length to the manton, you can just move it around your hand like this and the fringe is heavy and it just flows beautiful. So, you can do a circle. Do it this way and this way. You see the body language, I am going with the arms, going with the arms, going with the arms. So that way you are not just this and this. Okay, you want to like you are presenting, you know indoor number one we have this and indoor number two. So that is what we are doing when you are holding the manton. Hold it on underneath, from under here and you are presenting, you are presenting, you are presenting with a turn, back to your waist presenting with a turn back to your waist. So, you can use it like this. Okay and we will do the same thing with flip it over your head. This is large for me because I am a petite dancer, but if you have long arms you will love this length. I am going to flip it over my head, all right and it works slower because it is heavier. Okay, so you have to put that in consideration. The same move… is a smaller manton, but it is going to cover a wide area while you are dancing. I am going to let go of it and catch it(it fell on my shoe) we are just going to do that again. Alright, we are going to flip it over my head, flip it just like we do the smaller manton, let go, grab it and bring it back on your shoulder. Remember you can do all this, present, bring it back to your waist, present, bring it back to your waist. It also looks good with the spin. You do it a couple of times with the spin, throw it behind you, so it is a wonderful piece to add into your collection and it also will last a lifetime and give to families as heirlooms, it is just beautiful."
