Description:
The Oversway and Throwaway Oversway are two iconic patterns that beautify any routine. There are two factors needed to clearly create either one of them:
- Sway
- Rotation
In this ballroom video, Maria Hansen explains how to use these two movements to develop either the Oversway or Throwaway.
Dancers Cristian & Kristina demonstrate the difference between the two patterns beautifully and how head weight plays a factor in creating bolder 3 dimensional shapes.
