Hand positioning plays a big part in making this work smoothly.

Hammerlock - tragic version

The hammerlock - tragic version. Thanks to a lady (Everlyn) who's first attempt at the hammerlock was bad beyond belief. Later, I realised that it was actually genius. A new move brought to you by MaxJive.

Flip right leg over left and keep both feet essentially in the same spot.

Hallelujah lean

Easy lean

Simple addition to the Hallelujah.

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

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


Lazy Octopus

Use when you are getting warm and follower has energy to spare. Leader can lean back and stay on the spot and follower will cover a quarter mile in a few moments.

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


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


Octopus

Noob move, but a great fill nevertheless. Leader will use this to give them time to think of the next move to do. Add pauses for effect.

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


Half-pterodactyl

One elbow in. Salsa then Jive demo.

Push spin

Left and right handed. Video includes a flick spin and spin me too.

Track: Warriyo - Mortals (feat. Laura Brehm) #NoCopyrightSounds

Siete

Salsa and blues-jive demo.

In blues-jive one can play with the move in any way you see fit.

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


Snowball

Snowballing vs Octopus.
Same but different.
Snowballing = compact.
Octopus = travelling.

Difficulty level: scales - difficulty level


Tango Infront Behind steps

Nice to dart in between others on the floor when a gap is available.

A Jive fusion example at the end.

Difficulty level: trophy - 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.
