Rhythm Bounce (PreBronze)
| Commence with weight on either LF or RF | |
| Swing pelvis softly in the direction of the free leg | Count "a" |
| Swing pelvis softly in the direction of the standing leg | Count "1" |
Repeat movement for the desired number of counts
To suit the musical phrasing the rhythm bounce may be commenced:
| 1 | Maintaining both the weight on the standing leg and the foot position after e.g. after any Bota Fogo action |
| 2 | Maintaining the weight on the standing leg, moving the free leg to a side or diagonally back position e.g. after a whisk |
| 3 | Dancing a weight change by stepping side or diagonally forward e.g. after a Travelling Volta (commence on count "1") |
Preceding Figures and Follows
None are listed, as the principal use of the Rhythm Bounce is to start the dance, or as a means of achieving good phrasing or a foot change.
The rhythm Bounce can be used in any position
