Master the Throwaway Oversway | Ballroom Dance Tutorials | Episode 6
We're back in our makeshift dance studio at home and bring to you our latest dance lesson, this time focusing on the timeless and popular line figure: the throwaway oversway.
There are many perspectives to consider and be aware of when trying to show a beautiful throwaway line, and in this video we focus on just a few points we feel are very important.
The first thing we discuss in this video is the awareness of all moments of shaping, including entry of figure, the throwaway shape itself and exiting the figure. Having an awareness of these three shaping moments will enhance the effect of your throwaway oversway.
The next point we discuss is making sure we are aware of and maintaining the position and angles in relationship to each other throughout the figure. It's important to remember that the position, in this case closed position, will also enhance the beauty of the shape you are trying to produce.
Last but not least, don't forget the principles of personal posture and arm position that we've learnt in our previous videos. Those are some of the most important fundamental principles that we need to constantly work on and maintain throughout our dancing, especially when dancing beautiful line figures such as the throwaway oversway.
Hope this helps you with your Throwaway practice!
