Ivouschki

History

One of my own choreographies.

Rhythm

The music is in a slow, even 4/4 rhythm but there are a couple of fast steps in there.

Steps

Start in a circle, arms in a 'linked elbows' hold, facing centre

Step with the right foot to the side, close with the left, and step with the right to the side again. This is fairly quick, the three steps come as 1-and-2 compared with the slow and even sways.

Sway three times, starting to the left.

Repeat the side-together-side sequence to the right.

Sway once to the left.

The introduction lasts for two complete step sequences, the dance begins with the singing.

Music

Ivouschki from Sans Domicile Fixe by Bratsch.
