What This Module Trains 🎯
Two advanced heel twists danced On1: the Syncopated Heel Twist and the Mambros Twist.
The Moves 🧠
Lesson 1.
Syncopated Heel Twist. Like a heel twist, but syncopated, on the counts in between the counts: 1 and 2, 3 and 4.
- Repeat it without a pause on 5 and 6 and 7 and 8, stepping on 8.
- Get back in with 2, 3, skipping the 1.
Lesson 2.
Mambros Twist. A combination of twists, Punta Talon and flares, a bit of a full count twist hybrid.
- Heel twist on 1, 2, tap on 3, tap to the back on 4.
- Change your weight and twist on 5.
- Punta Talon on 6, tap back on 7, flare on 8, tap on 1 (or a Palladium Drop), then 2, 3.
How the Drill Runs 🔁
Each one twice:

Technique Cues 💡
- Keep your steps small.
