Senegalese Sabar Dance: Crown Move

Video Transcript

"Next we'll add the move where we swing our legs open, right leg, and then left leg. And this time, instead of that movement with the push back that we did before, we're going to add one of these, little crowns, which is pretty common to add as a rhythmic accent at the end of one of your solos. So we'll just show the crown real quick. Your legs, you're starting in one of your regular shoulder width position, you want to turn your feet out a little bit, and bend your knees, and kind of go down, just a little bit, it's a pop out. So just practice popping your legs out a little bit onto the balls of your feet, if you know ballet, that might help a little bit with this part. And then you want to kind of just throw your arms up, your palms can be facing up, or they can be facing down, either way you want, just throw them up all at once, either way, down or up. So what we're going to do is, we're going to open our legs, 1,2 and pop; 1,2 and 3; and 1,2 and 3, one more time, 1,2 and 3, and one more, 1,2 and 3. Just make sure your legs- your legs are a little bit stiff on this one, and you want to get down as far as you can. And the more you can make them pop out, the nicer it's going to be. You swing your legs open, and pop; and swing, and pop. And we'll add this to the end of our combination, next; and pop."
