[@brandomiranda6703]

how is the technique for the basic as explained here different for the lead? Is it just the same but mirror in reverse?

[@noleadernoexcusesfollow-al3876]

yes that's correct- I'm not as experienced in regards to leading but as far as I'm aware the same technique applies 😊

[@brandomiranda6703]

what is the purpose of extending the leg first without moving the body with it at the same time? Why is the Zouk basic like that?

[@noleadernoexcusesfollow-al3876]

that's one of the things that makes Zouk Zouk! The long drawn out first beat is elongated through the extended leg (as opposed to stepping onto a bent leg for a short count like in salsa)

No Leader, No Excuses! Follow-Along Zouk Training so is the point to make the first step feel long on purpose? Btw thnx ur responses and videos ❤️

[@noleadernoexcusesfollow-al3876]

@@brandomiranda6703 yes, although the step doesn't physically need to be longer than the others, it should look slower - hence using the phrase "boom chick chick" - the boom is the long first beat.
