7. Follower is perfectly fine mechanically, but asks for more counterbalance than Lead is offering.  A follower might chose a default stretch or counterbalance that is greater than the leader they are dancing with, the result being that at the end of every move, the follower feels heavy. Though a follower should try as a default to match exactly the amount of counterbalance asked for, she can also use this as a neat trick: If she wants to, say, really work her swivels at a certain part of the music, she can ask for a lot of counterbalance, and a good leader will be there to adjust his own and give it to her.

Just as solving the issue of being too heavy is not really about lightnening up, solving the too wide issue, is rarely about being more narrow. They are both about better understanding the mechanics of the dance and our bodies.

I had a thought a couple of months back that another possible reason for a heavy dancer is to do with their pulse or lack thereof.

A pulse makes a dancer alternatively light then heavy every beat. When the pulse direction is up, the person is lighter for half a beat and can be moved relatively easily. When the pulse is down, the weight transfers into the floor and the person is momentarily heavy again.

Without a pulse or a minimal pulse, there is no up direction to make the person lighter so the person is harder to move and thus feels heavy.

Another thing that leads to a heavy follow can be the follow providing extra momentum, particularly leading into the 4 or the 8 of a swingout. The result is that the lead needs to use extra, unexpected strength/frame to redirect the follows momentum back to the other direction, or (as I often do when this happens leading into the 4, due to a should injury), abort the redirect and let her continue the momentum out to open position, usually in the form of a six count pass by.

Lindy is not my expertise, but in general followers prefer hand position on the back to be located over the scapula, not the low back. If you send a follow into your hand located on the low back it causes back hyperextention. Follows either get hurt, or tense up to avoid injury. Hence heavy.

Cape Verde is known internationally for morna, a form of folk music usually sung in the Cape Verdean Creole, accompanied by clarinet, violin, guitar and cavaquinho. Funan, Coladeira, Batuque and Cabo love are other musical forms.

Morna is by far the most popular genre of Cape Verdean music, and it has produced an international superstar in Cesria vora. Morna is a national song-style, like Argentinian tango, beloved by Cape Verdeans across the many islands of the country. Lyrics are usually in Creole, and reflect highly-variable themes, including love and lust, patriotism and mourning.

In the late 1970s, the cape verdean diaspora living in Europe and North America have influenced the traditional "Coladeira" with Compas / Kompa to create a version of Zouk called Cola-zouk, a similar Compas (Kompa) fusion to the French Antillean's Zouk" or "Zouk Love". Later, the new generation who grew up in Cape Verde featured a slow mixed version of electric pop music with Cape Verdean music styles, a light Compas called "Cabo Love" or "Cabo Zouk". The Cape Verdean Zouks are typically sung in Cape Verdean creole, it is often mistaken for the Angolan kizomba. This light Compas has become popular in Portuguese speaking countries of Africa, Brazil, and the rest of the world. Most of the songs are written in Portuguese/creole.

Cape Verdean immigrants who moved to France in the 1980s were exposed to Zouk music. They blended it with a traditional Cape Verde style called the coladeira, thus creating cola-zouk, similar to kizomba and typically sung in Cape Verdean Creole. It is this rhythm that was confused with kizomba and was heard in Portugal when Eduardo Paim arrived there and released his first record with kizomba music.[7]

Kizomba is known for having a slow, insistent, somewhat harsh yet sensuous rhythm as the result of electronic percussion. It is danced accompanied by a partner, very smoothly, slowly and sensuously, and with neither tightness nor rigidity. There are frequent simultaneous hip rotations coordinated between dance partners, particularly in the quieter refrains of the music. Several individuals with a love of the Kizomba culture have been promoting it in other countries.

Famous Angolan teachers such as kota Jos N'dongala (founder of the Kizombalove Academy) and Mestre Petchu (founder of the Tradicional Kilandukilu Ballet) have been giving Kizomba and Semba teachers courses for years to further popularize their Angolan cultural values in Africa, Europe and in America.[9]

Cape Verdean singers and producers with kizomba compilations include Suzanna Lubrano, Atim, Nilton Ramalho, Johnny Ramos, Nelson Freitas, Mika Mendes, Manu Lima, Cedric Cavaco, Elji Beatzkilla, Loony Johnson, Klazzik, Mark G, To Semedo, Beto Dias, Heavy H, Marcia, Gilyto, Kido Semedo, Ricky Boy, Klaudio Ramos, M&N Pro, Gilson, Gil, G-Amado, Philip Monteiro, Gama, Juceila Cardoso and Denis Graa, Z-BeatZ Pro AudioHustlin'. Original influential music styles from Cape Verde are funan, morna, coladeira and batuque. Thanks to the French Antilles konpa promoted as Zouk love and the strong influence of semba (from Angola), Cape Verdean singers have developed significantly kizomba and zouk (mixing it with coladeira) known as Cabo love or cola-dance. Moreover, every lusophone country has developed its own Kizomba music flavor.[7]

Zoukout 2022, the annual beach rave, returned to Siloso Beach on Sentosa Island on December 2 and 3. With the theme The Futuristic City of Dreams, the dance music festival boasted a stellar line-up and a throng of indefatigable music lovers back to party.

Also, I cook the sauce in the same pot as I fry the Soutzoukakia sausages. In this case, you can leave out the additional olive oil mentioned for the sauce below as the meat will let its fat during the frying.

It is impossible to speak about kizomba and not speak about Caboverdians and how much they influenced many countries afro-zouk/cola-zouk/meia-batida/kizomba. Especially because in the beginning of the 1990s, Angola was still going through a civil war that started in 1975 (right after their independence from Portugal), and only finished in 2002. Meanwhile Caboverdians singers were multiplying every day. In the early 90s they had a band called Livity, created by Grace Evora, as they moved on from the band many of them decided to start a solo career (Grace Evora, Jorge Neto, Ze Carlos, Kino Cabral etc). Most of them used to or still live in the Netherlands including artists Gil Semedo (that call what he produces Cabo Swing), Dina Medina, Suzana Lubrano, Cabo Verde Show, Mendes Brothers, Chandinho Dede, Boy G Mendes etc. All these Caboverdian singers and their music were having a big impact on the PALOP* community at large. In Portugal was truly were people kept kizomba alive, Angola was at war and the rest of the PALOP countries were also struggling in their new independence. The love for kompa, zouk and afrozouk inadvertently had a uniting effect at PALOP night clubs frequented by emigrants arriving in Portugal.

Zouk is also very much defined by technology, particularly the heavy use of synthesizers. There are two main types of zouk: zouk hard, which is fast and percussive, and zouk love, which is slower with more prominent synthesizer and romantic themes. Many female musicians, particularly singers, have been able to make a name for themselves in zouk.

Similarly, if you plan to start using your new footwear in a few days, retain the paper fillings received at the time of delivery. This helps retain the original shape of your footwear. Similarly, do not put any heavy objects on top of your Zouk footwear to avoid any damage. If possible, keep the footwear in the box we provided too.

This follow may be struggling because they need to move their own body more (movability) and engage their core to keep their body aligned (tone). They do not feel heavy, but do feel unresponsive and a bit disengaged.

Most partners have their own preferred partner weight. This is the combination of contact, tone, and movability that they find it easiest to dance and connect with. Some prefer very light partners, and will take a disconnected, wiggly follow over a heavy, tense one. Some prefer follows that give a little bit more weight and tone.

If you are trying to work on elements of your connection, remember to pinpoint exactly what is causing your light or heavy issues. This will make your efforts to improve your following targeted for the maximum possible benefit.

Prefab in the Sun is the UK singer-songwriter Jeanette\u2019s final LP before she faded from view. Driven by spectral vocals and delicate, goth jazz rhythms, the album is an exercise in electro-pop blueprints colliding with heavy but sentimental love songs. My friends at In Sheep\u2019s Clothing Hi Fi are into it in a big way. Listen to the title track here.

When the Parisian duo Les Nubians released their nouveau soul album Princess Nubiennes in 1998, they embarked on a journey that took their neo-soul/street soul/swingbeat slanted sounds from France into the American charts, along the way performing at the Soul Train awards. This one isn\u2019t so much a dig as it is something I forgot about and have absolutely loved reconnecting with. As the quality of their songs like \u2018Makeda\u2019 effortlessly illustrates, good music truly does transcend languages and borders. I love \u2018Les Portes du souvenir\u2019 as well. I found this 1999 Washington Post review of the album to be somewhat interesting context-wise. 9af72c28ce
