00:00If you are a follower and you used to say,
00:02well, I am just following,
00:05you're probably wrong and let me explain why.
00:09If you're new here, my name is Chris,
00:11I'm an international dance instructor
00:13and I'm here to share about dancing and teaching social dances,
00:18especially urban keys.
00:20If you are not following as a social dancer
00:24with all the follower fundamentals,
00:28you are not following.
00:30This is the reason why, as teachers,
00:33we implemented those follower fundamentals
00:37to make sure you are doing the right thing on the dance floor.
00:41They are nothing more than a set of rules and techniques
00:45to help you give a better answer to your partner
00:49while dancing on the dance floor.
00:52I'm going to explain and break down
00:53all of those rules and techniques in one specific video
00:58in order to go deep in the explanations
01:02and give you as much information as possible.
01:06Because as a follower,
01:07if you are not actively applying all of those fundamentals,
01:11managing your way, your body way, the right way,
01:14aligning your shoulders in the right direction,
01:18dancing with tensed legs, arms, and core muscles,
01:23matching your energy with your partner's energy,
01:27then you're not following at all.
01:29The leader is there to make sure you receive the right information
01:34at the right time.
01:36As a follower,
01:38your responsibility is to respond to this information
01:42and execute to get the information
01:45and respond with your technique,
01:47but the right way,
01:48because the leader is waiting for some specific behaviors
01:52on your side.
01:54So whenever you step on the dance floor
01:56with a partner ready to follow,
01:59make sure you apply all of those fundamentals.
02:04If you need help to understand
02:07or improve every one of them in your own technique,
02:11stick around.
02:12Follow me and you will know everything.
02:15I'll see you in the next one.
02:16Take care.
02:17Bye.
