![Tutorial: Flamenco Marking Step [Flamenco Dance Steps]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568079e7bfe873f15c115eee/1675758979349-R8QOHVMHU9OYR1A1UBTG/IMG_6077.JPG)
The following twelve count marking step is all about the body.
The feet are pretty simple. (Phew.)
It’s the movement of the body and arms that makes the step.
Before we watch the video, here are three key things about this step:
1. Use both torso and shoulders.
Use the torso to accentuate the shoulder movement.
2. The body should start moving before the feet.
Before your first step, rotate the right torso and shoulder.
When you step on the count of twelve, move the left torso and shoulder…
3. The body movements should be accented but fluid.
This means, after you accent, don’t stop the movement.
Let it continue and flow into the next accented movement.
Now watch the video tutorial below, and give it a try!
