Henri: Hi, guys. This is Henri, and this is Ashle, and we're going to show a little bit
of the bicep technique, how to do it and apply it and what it is. Right? So let me demonstrate
for you. Basically, it's a type of frame that you can use to make the lady's body move.
It's a little bit of a dominant but really strong lead for the ladies, in a respectful
way of course. So what happens is you wrap your arm around the lady. And then the most
important thing is your bicep, your left bicep. So let me show you how it goes. Right? Basically,
we're going a slow step. It usually goes with the slow dances. Yes. You can make the lady's
body wave by connecting with your bicep. So you always have them in control. Now let's
break it down for you. All you do is, again you don't want to dance square. You don't
want to be dancing this way. It's really hard this way. It actually is not possible. It's
impossible. There's no way we can do this. Right? We need to always be slightly diagonal.
So in this case, we always step the right leg in between the lady's right feet. And
the same thing with the ladies. Ladies, always step between the guy's feet when it's close
dancing. Now what you do guys is you bring your palm upward. So you do it this way, and
you bring your elbow close to your body. That way it's going to get your bicep. That way,
ladies, you're going to feel how the guy's slowly holding you in this really different
position, and you connect. You get the connection. Yeah? So this prevents the ladies from going
forward on top of you. Right? So they're just all the way. And if they do, you connect this
and then, and go back.
Ashely: Push them away.
Henri: Yes? Push them away. So this is important for the going forward. For the going back,
then you have the forearm and your elbow and your hand. And that one is where you create.
It's like you're playing the instrument. Imagine you're playing like a harp, a guitar, some
kind of flow instrument. So the that you do with your right arm, the ladies will follow
it, but always keeping this arm strong, the left arm. If you let it go, they won't be
able to feel it, because it's nothing. Right?
Ashely: Yeah. And this technique helps, because it shortens the girl's arm. So now she's compact,
and you have more control over what you want her to do.
Henri: Exactly.
Ashely: But as soon as you let that go and you're no longer showing that bicep, now I
can go wherever I want, and you've lost control.
Henri: So to go back what we've learned before in the previous videos, you can do a wave
in this move. You also can do a sway. But also we can do the washing machine that we
talked about before. Right? Or also we can add body waves. Yes? And the body wave, literally,
all you do is you move your arm in and out, like a snake. You start with the thumb, all
the way to the pinky and repeat, like you're giving the ladies a massage. Yes? Which they
will thank you for. And. And, yes. Always keeping that left arm strong so you can lead
them in anything you want. And that's you're bicep technique.
