Matador Start Stand opposite the receiver and

support beneath her palms or wrists. The water

depth should be comfortable for her.

Invite the reciver to go inside and to squeeze

your hands when she is ready to be floated. Open

her left arm (your right arm) to the side.

→

Step into the space created. Without contact,

hook your left leg behind partnerÓs left calf, like a

judo trip. Continue to support both hands.

Release the right hand and reach directly under

the arm to traction the back of the head with the

ÐHorns of the BullÑ grip. Nestle your shoulder

reassuringly into her side.

→

Re-grasp above the wrist with an overgrip. This

will give you more control in the coming

Matador. Take your time, step by step. A good

beginning is a slow one without surprises or

shocks.

Pull gently on partnerÓs arm and guide her head

into the water. Use your thigh to lift the hips if

necessary. Support under the spine with the

length of your forearm.

→

Pull the head toward you and thread quietly into

1st, your other forearm sliding out under the

sacrum. Ground your Horse Stance, center and

find the breath.

áYoÐ the head to keep the chin down and support

the spine with your forearm. Walk a slow half-

circle, making sure the legs stay near the surface.

→

Fascial countertraction the pelvis diagonally

toward the surface on the inbreath; accompany

the pelvis down with contact on the outbreath.

Wait at the bottom of the breath.

1 WAVES Trance Waves Do The Cross. Lead

with head traction Ðaround the curveÑ while

stepping 90» to the side onto the head foot.

→

In a stable Warrior, send the hips out away from

you with your pelvis arm to stretch the far side of

the trunk. PartnerÓs body stays supine; allow no

tilt.

Transfer your weight onto your foot foot and

slide your head foot back under you. This pulls

partner toward you and stretches her near side.

→

Your head foot slides to the ÐTouch and GoÑ

position next to your foot foot, tapping the ground

with the ball of the foot and then immediately

beginning the next cycle, the next arm of the

cross, with a step to the side.

Repeat four times, stepping away from and back

to the midpoint of a cross. As needed, vary the

head traction from palm on the shoulder, the

Hand Mirror (shown here) to palm down in the

water.

→

Finding your balance in Warrior Stance, send the

hips out. PartnerÓs body is in suspension, her legs

completing the movement. Breathe in as you

arrive in Warrior.

Lean backwards and fall to the middle of the

cross while breathing out. Begin just before the

legs complete their swing out, so there is a wave

and no dead moment in the flow.

→

Here we see the Touch and Go position from the

other side, after finishing the third arm of the

cross.

Do a second cross grasping the waist, palm

toward or away, depending. The third and final

cross from around the rib cage offers the most

freedom of the three grips. The spine is being

sequentially articulated and stretched.

→

Here we see the rock footwards, partner's side

against our front, in this illustration of the body

mechanics principle of moving by example.

Carmen Miranda In Horse move your pelvis in

a figure eight, transferring your weight from leg

to leg on the forward diagonal. At first keep part-

ner in contact with your chest.

→

Develop the eight by opening up a space between

your bodies and leading the movement with head

traction...

...and pelvic traction. Let the eight become longer

and more dynamic.

→

In the final stage of Carmen Miranda release the

far shoulder and Ðbalance the ballÐ, waving and

rolling the pelvis randomly.

Watch the face the entire time, letting the head roll

deep in the water. What movement is partner open

to? Which movements would benefit her? Allow

the movement to settle down.

→

Hip Waves (Geisha Waltz) Palm the far shoul-

der and the near hip, thumbs up. Roll partner 45»

onto her side. Sit back low in the water, leaning

back, her cheek on your upper arm. Lift the hip

up and away on the inbreath to traction the neck.

Travel backwards in a circle with Geisha Waltz.

Let partnerÓs legs and hips sink. Her head (and

you) stay at the same level; water away from the

corner of the mouth. Circle with partnerÓs back

facing out.

→

Hip Waves (Godzilla) The FSNH grip gives you

an excellent leverage for a sideways wave. Lead

with elbow traction in the round phase. Angle the

body at 45», and your step is 45» to the outside..

Lengthen the wave.

In the arch phase lean back and lengthen the near

hip away from you to safeguard the lower back.

Your step on the foot foot is directly behind you

and long.
