Dance In Time Productions - Instructional Videos

IMPORTANT NOTE: These videos are occasionally "choppy" or "jerky." If you find that a move is starting and stopping briefly and then resuming, just go back to the start of the video and watch again. Generally when that happens, it hadn't downloaded fully. So the next time through, the movement is smoother.

------------------------
Sin Nombre Especiale is the more complicated and longer move. Glen taught both of these moves in our VA class in April of 2009, and you can watch the longer version in the two pieces that follow..
It was so complex that we didn't get one continuous video of the entire sequence, but we got nearly all of it in two video segments and the part in between is described verbally below.....

There is a nice component of the move in the Part 1 clip I want to point out. In the middle of the fourth set of 8 beats, there is a copa, but it is led in a very unusual position, with the guy's hands in contact with the lady's hands only. This requires skill both to lead and follow but it's an interesting version of a copa move.

Please note that after the end of this "part 1" video, there are some beats missing before the part 2 clip below. In addition, the center of the circle is behind the couple as you watch part 1 but it is where the camera was located in part 2. Here is what happens between the two video clips in the move. After the arm split shown at the end of Part 1 above, the leader turns the lady to her left. Then he moves her behind him so that she is moving linearly straight back, exactly like in the move Promenade. Then when the lady is facing the same way as the leader but is behind him, he turns her to her right, leading her with his right hand---exactly as we do in the move LA de Glen. Then the leader turns left to face her.

At this point we pick up where the video in Part 2 begins. Specifically, the leader turns the lady to her left while his left arm goes over her head, and then unwinds her to her right, about one and a half to one and three quarters of a turn. He then throws her right arm behind her waist... You can watch the rest in Part 2! (And note the cool arm toss to behind the lady's back at the beginning of the third set of 8 beats in Part 2.)

Thanks to all those who helped in the preparation of these videos--Ilene, Rita, Sheila, Rodrigo, Anka, Fred, Monica, etc.--as well as to Glen for patient instruction in bringing many of these moves to life.

There are also some additional videos available in a pay-per-view format, that Danceintime prepared. They are at the following website in case anyone would like to check them out: http://www.theclave.com/artist/danceintime/2/table.htm
