That's an amazingly super move, but also amazingly complex and complicated, especially for those of us who find footwork difficult and challenging! But it's such a fabulous move that I'm determined to learn it and improve my footwork. It's the sort of move that in class can shatter your confidence and leave you dejected. So glad I'm familiar with the Colombian! PS this week's homework is very hard. I knew it was going to be difficult when I saw the length of the video 6:9, much longer than the usual 3 or 4😂
After a day of studying this video, thinking about it, and mimicking the move, I think I understand what's happening! Now I need to make sure I remember and don't forget 😂 I'm hoping Colombian Turns will help with other moves.
This is one of those annoying moves that I like so much, but find so incredibly difficult to understand and learn. I'm a slow learner so this is going to take a long time to sink in! One comment regarding the description of what to do. The first time you turn the lady it's anticlockwise, the second time, going back the other way, it's clockwise. But in both occasions you call it a turn. Usually you refer to the anticlockwise turn as a return, and the clockwise turn as a turn. So I find the explanation of this move confusing. And while step behind step in front is a familiar instruction for the Colombian, I find the term in sync puzzling, so more confusion! As with other things, it's quite difficult for someone who understands something complicated to explain it to someone who doesn't understand it! At the end of the day, as always, it's up to me to study the video and your verbal explanation in detail and repeatedly in order to understand and learn the move. I thought First Move Traverse and Circular Colombian were difficult, but I managed to get my head round them, but Colombian Turns is one or more steps beyond them in difficulty, reminding me of some of your Tango moves which I gave up trying to learn 😂
