Today you’ll want a smooth surface so your toes can easily slide, but you don’t need shoes.
Ex1 Without music, practice projection, barrida (flexing knee and hip) and pivots. Continue improvising on one leg until you really feel you need to change the base leg.
Ex2 Now with music, walk in all directions, making projections in any direction between some of the steps. Now turn some of those projections into barridas with and without pivots.
Ex3 Now add crosses imagining your foot being pushed or pulled into the cross as if by your partner’s foot.
