How To Do A Calypso I Easy Tutorial With @MissAuti

I am hosting a live dance WERKshop on April 11!! Buy your tickets here and use code MissAuti20..
organizer.runt...
We are learning how to do a calypso leap!! This jump is v popular in the dance world and can be used in lots of different styles, especially jazz and lyrical. Calypso jumps have a bent back leg (attitude) and a straight front leg. I am showing you how to do the leap prep as well, the lovely high chaîné, low chaîné moment. I am so excited to show you another dance trick that you can work at home during the 'tine. This dance jump tutorial is quick and easy, so you can go watch even more dance videos when you're done with this one.. hehe. Make sure to do a good dance warmup before you try this dance class out. xo.

I can only imagine how confused non-dancers are with all the terminology 😂

[@valeriamucci7536]

In my country this jump is called a coupé-jeté en tournant and we prepare it with a coupé en tournant instead of a high chainé - low chainé (it that's how you spell it) so I'm even more confused lol

Are you a trained dancer? Or did you learn this yourself ?

[@starrynightlly]

I just signed up for your livestream event!! I’ve always wanted to learn dance but no studios around me offer dance classes to people over 18 (like what???) but I’m so thankful you have so many online resources to learn from!! As someone whose parents couldn’t financially afford for me to dance when I was younger I wanted to thank you for making dance accessible to everyone regardless of socioeconomic status!! 💞💞

[@mackenziw]

Auti Kamal hi! I was wondering what studio you teach at!? And also can you to a video of how to leap out of el a secondes?

you explained it so well, but i have trouble lifting the extended leg up. i’ve been told my form is great but my leg doesn’t go high enough and i really don’t know how i can get it higher

[@jonnarobinson7541]

I’ve been a dance teacher for many years. Flexibility is important but what is the top priority should be strengthening of the legs. Your legs and core are not strong enough to pull up.

[@irisdevine]

exact same with me!! flexibility isn't an issue for me but i can't get my legs up for the life of me hahaha x

[@tatemitchell1479]

Try ankle weights/tie something heavy around your ankles (a purse filled with heavy coins or something may work!) and sit on a chair. Put your hands under your butt for balance, and lift your leg as high as you can, trying to get your hamstrings off the seat. Do around 30 reps on each leg, 2x daily. You should develop serious strength in your quads! Leg raises can serve as a simplified version of this, but being seated vertically means you get a higher "kick". I hope this helps!

[@jtika1978]

You need to strengthen the hip flexor ☺️

[@claudiacarnevali01]

@@jtika1978 Could you give me more exercises to strengthen? Thank you
