Good noon readers! Today i have many things to teach you... including what a sub pump is and also how to dance the samba raggae!!! so bloody exciting dont ya think? On one of my previous posts i taught you all how to do the mexican hat dance, and one of you lovely readers (probably Delci) commented that they would like to learn more about dancing, and so i am willing to teach you all!!! and if you can, it would make me laugh a lot if you could post videos of yourselves doing these dances on one of my Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History facebook pages!!! It would bring joy and laughter to my life!!! And we all know how much i love humour!!! But anyway i will carry on to my lessons now! teehee
Thanks to a friend of mine, i am now well informed about what a sub pump is and i thought i would share this info with all of you because it will make all of you even smarter then you already are! which is an exciting thing!!! So here is the specific explanation that my friend gave me about what a sub pump is!!! Drum roll please!!!
SmartyPants: What is a sub pump?
Friend: Well in a building, a house for an example, water caqn get into the foundation, which is really really bad for it!!
SmartyPants: mhm...
Friend: So they have this barier around the foundation that pretty much catches the water and brings it to one spot in the house... which is then pumped back out either through a hose or another tunnel that feeds into the sewer... And if the pump breaks or stops working and its raining hard outside the water rises at this one spot and has no place to go... Which normally leads to a flooding basement!
So there you have it... dont you feel more informed?? I do!!!
Now for the moment you have all (or one of you) have been waiting for!! Here is a detailed explanation of how to dance the SAMBA RAGGAE!!! yay! i know i know... its SUPER exciting!!! :D yay!!! Drum Roll PLEASE!!!
Step 1 Face your partner, keep arms straight, not bending the elbow and interlock fingers. The man leads and the woman follows. Samba reggae consists of shifting weight from foot to foot more so than it is taking a full step with each movement.
Step 2 Slide the right foot back slightly on the first beat of the music, putting the full weight of your body on it. The man starts with this move; the woman mirrors the move except backward, sliding her left foot forward slightly and putting all of her weight on it.
Step 3 Shift body weight subtly while sliding the left foot back onto the ball of the foot; the left heel does not hit the floor at all for the man. The move should be very slight. The woman mirrors this by sliding the right foot forward, letting the body's weight shift to the ball of the left foot; her right heel should not touch the floor.
Step 4 Raise the right foot due to the ball change and let the full weight of the body shift as the right leg comes fully to the floor. The woman mirrors by lifting the left leg because of weight shift and placing it back on the floor flat anticipating beginning the backward basic over to complement the forward basic of her partner.
Step 5 Listen to the music to guide pace and rhythm of the dance. Samba reggae music is in 2/4 time. There are three steps to each basic move, which can sometimes make the counting process confusing.
Step 6 Place the word "and" in between beat counts to assist in timing dance steps, an example is 1 and 2, 3 and 4 counting. However, use the music to guide and instruct on dance movements. Dancing samba reggae is about feeling the music and feeling the dance more so than counting and timed steps.
Im not going to lie readers, i dont really have much to say or comment on with this dance, there isnt a lot i can make seem funny. Mainly this is just an interesting dance that i hope you all enjoy learning!!!! and please, post videos of pictures of you doing this for me on the facebook pages! Below i will post the links!
