Lapiz Sequences – Simple Lapiz in a Combination Turn

The lapiz, a favorite element to adorn a turn, for both leaders and followers. But because the leg extends so far beyond the axis in a lapis, it is important to understand geometry and timing when attempting to execute this movement. In this introductory video, Ivan and Sara show a simple lapiz and the basic rules that we need to respect to make the lapiz smooth, coordinated and effective.

Lapiz Sequences – A difficult, then more Difficult Lapiz

A reverse lapis followed by a regular lapiz in a single axis turn. With an aguja in between. Sounds difficult. And it is, because it requires understanding of and coordination between individual body mechanic and the geometry of the bodies. But once you master it, it will be very satisfying! We promise!

Lapiz Sequences – The Fancy Follower Lapiz (led, and as an embellishment)

Instead of doing a simple calesita from a back step of the follower, followers can embellish and create a beautiful lapiz! And if you want to show this as partnerwork, then leaders can also create this movement for the follower. Lead or embellished, the movement is definitely worth learning!
