Leans and Lifts



Hallelujah lean

Easy lean

Simple addition to the Hallelujah.

You can't see behind you - don't over lean.

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


Intro Tee

Intro idea - work in progress for the start of Badlands. Note: This looks straightforward, it is straightforward, but the potential to topple is very great. A small lean creates a huge pull. (At that small angle I need to pull around 1/3rd of her body weight) If the angle increases another 10 degrees it exceeds half her body weight. Find something to hold on to, a handle of some sort and lean yourself to get an idea before you attempt this kind of move. You will quickly gauge the extent of the forces involved.

Lean

Can be used mid dance or at the end. Make sure you put your leg out - else a tumble will ensue.

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


Lift Back to Back

Simple lift - fairly stable.

Music: Savik; The age of wood.

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


Triangle

Forget about the naff lean with knees touching, this is the real thing. Me and Megan spent an age devising a balance like this with just one leg but were bedevilled by torsion issues. So, we plumped for this. Outside in light rain it was stunning looking up. This is highly dangerous on a dance floor. It might look easy, but one slight error will land you in A&E.
