So next we want to go over some basic Comping
movements and one of the most common ones that you'll see, as you're kind of walking
towards the Drummers and dancing they'll be giving you an accompaniment rhythm, just kind
of waiting for a chance to solo or for the rhythm to begin. This is just a simple right
to left move and all you're going to be doing is moving your legs left and right. So if
you want to watch the feet first, left right, right left, left right, right left, just back
and forth, very simple and if you want to count it out, and one, and two, and three
and four, and one, and two, and three, and four. Over and over, and then we add the arms,
and when you go to your right, you're going to be raising your right arm; to your left,
you're going to be lowering your left arm, or your right arm, sorry. Your left arm is
going to be in towards your chest, and you kind of want to look in the direction that
your arm is going.
So up and right, down and left, up and right, down and left. Palms can
be facing out at the top and kind of up at the bottom left, and two, and one, and two,
and three, and four, and one, and two, and three, and four. As the rhythm gets faster,
you can add kind of hop in there if you want, which is just kind of like this. You're kind
of moving your hips a little bit as you get faster, so be relaxed with your hips, just
kind of be aware of them as you're doing that movement, and you can basically do it any
speed to fit any of the drum rhythms that are being played at that time.
