How To Play Hollywood Spina Zonke
What is spina zonke? Why is it important to know this dance move? And what does it mean? Let’s look at some examples!
Spina bahari (spinning) is one of the most basic samba dances in South Africa. It can be applied to almost any kind of music, and you don’t even need shoes for it.
By adding some spina zonke into your dancing repertoire, you will feel more confident when trying other samba moves such as cha-cha, rumba or mambo.
This article will teach you how to do spina zonke easily! Don’t worry, it’s pretty simple once learned. So get ready and let’s learn by doing! 🙂
Step 1: The feet
Most people start spining with their back foot only, which isn’t very effective. By spinning with both feet, it becomes easier to keep up the rhythm and balance.
Start by standing tall with your legs together. Then push your left leg out slightly forward and back, like you are about to take a running jump. Your right knee should be just barely bent, and your toes pointed backwards.
When the song calls for your hands to clap, add some momentum by quickly flinging them upwards while bending your elbows. As they come down, straighten your arms fully so that your wrists make a slapping sound.
Be familiar with the card meanings
There are two main reasons why people get zapped by spina ze (hollywood) cards. The first is because they’re not in-tune with their inner child or personhood.
By this, we mean that they’re too focused on getting and keeping things for prestige rather than just being connected to what they have and who cares about them.
The other reason is that these individuals may be trying to avoid something by avoiding anyone else. They could be hiding from past hurt or wounds, or maybe they’re just afraid to lose again.
Whatever it is, it needs to come to an end, and breaking down those walls can only help you as you start anew.
Learn to read the card images
The next step in learning how to play sphinx is to learn to read the cards that are being used for reading fortunes. There are two main types of cards you will need to know how to read and what they mean.
The first type of card is called an intuition or intuitive card. These cards do not have words, only pictures. They use symbolism to tell your if something is positive or negative about your future.
The second type of card has worded meanings that relate to the picture. This is usually done in a book form with large font size so it can be easily seen. For example, there may be a card depicting a snake eating its own tail. The book would then explain why this symbol means success and/or death.
There are many books which contain examples of fortune telling using both intuitive and verbal cards. You can find them through Amazon, Google, and other online shopping sites.
Learn to read the card intensions
The first step in playing sphinzi is learning how to interpret the cards in their positions. There are several ways to do this, depending on what level you are reading for the game.
Some people organize the position of each individual card by suit, while others organize them by zodiac sign. Both are very helpful when reading for sphinzi!
Suit is an order of the cards that goes from heart (spade), mind (clubs), strength (wands), love (swords) and spirit (hearts). This is one way to organize the position of a card. For example, if there was a hearts card then it would be a goal or purpose with something related to love attached to it.
Zodiac signs go in order of sun, moon, planet, constellation. A sun card might indicate a new beginning or hope. A moon card could suggest sadness, regret, or something ending. A planet suggests material things, money, or power. A constellation reminds us we are not alone, we have support and guidance from higher powers.
Reading for sphintzi can also include using both these organization systems at the same time! For instance, looking at the placement of the next card according to the hearts suit, something may need to be let go of. Looking under the sun sign, the moon will bring about more caution than usual. Looking under the constellation, something special may happen soon.
Learn to read the card effects
The first thing you will need to do is learn how to read your cards! Most people make the mistake of thinking that since they can eventually read someone’s aura, their own, or even a loved ones’, then it is easy to use the cards in this system. This is definitely not the case though!
It takes practice to truly understand how to read the cards correctly. Even more difficult is learning when to apply what you have learned. In fact, some experts say that there are only two times when reading the cards is appropriate- during a meditation or while performing a ritual.
When using the Hollywood spina zonke method for the rest of your life, these two instances should be avoided unless you are professionally trained in this technique.
Know how to read the card transitions
There is an important thing to know about reading spina zonkas in poker. When you hold your hand up, there’s usually a brief moment where the top edge of your fist touches your forehead, then it drops down into your open palm. This is called the transition position!
In high-stakes games, this can get very expensive because people are good at detecting when someone isn’t paying attention or doesn’t have their money with them. If that happens, they will make sure you don’t win by letting you play through your transition and then grabbing your wrist as you put your hands back in your pocket or purse.
By knowing what the different types of transitions mean, you can save yourself some money while still keeping up pretenses. Here we will go over all the ones you need to be familiar with.
Know what each card represents
In sphinx style games, one player is always referred to as the Sphinx. The rest of the players are called Voyeurs or Hunger Games Players. The Sphinx is normally considered the winner since they do not need help in winning the game!
The second person to play sphinx is usually referred to as a Zonk. A zonk will try to trick the voyeur players into thinking that they know which cards are face down. If a voyeur correctly identifies a face up card, then he/she gets rewarded with either an additional point for their team, or a loss of a point from his/her team. Either way it’s a win-win!
Most people who play this type of poker learn the rules by going through a few rounds of practice first. That’s how most beginners begin playing Texas Hold'em Poker. They spend time looking at beginner level hold'em strategies and learning the basics.
Fortunately, there's no rule against rewinding your past mistakes when you're able to take lessons from them. By practicing your hand strength, knowing when to fold, and understanding the fundamentals of the game, you'll be well on your way towards becoming a great hold'em poker player.
Always think of your inner voice
In spina zonke, you use your inner voice as your guide. Yours is the only voice that matters in this game!
You want to make sure it’s kind and understanding with other people.
It can’t be too loud because then it becomes annoying. And it can’t be too soft either, or else it will not get through.
When you are thinking about something, yourself or someone else, how does your inner voice sound?
A strong, powerful tone means you're feeling strong and confident; a gentle one indicates peace and tranquility.
Listen to it
The lyrics of this song tell you how to play this luscious chord pattern! Let’s look at them, shall we?
Start by playing the first note of the pattern (the root) as an open string. Then immediately follow that with your third finger (index finger), which plays a high pitched tone (high note). Next, add your middle finger (thumb), then close off the hand with your pinky (lowest note). This is called a triplet.
Now, continue alternating between these three notes and dancing around the rest of the chords in the song. When the bass comes in, just use those roots for support. Have fun experimenting and listening to this classic track!
Summary: This beautiful chord structure can be learned through music alone! If you are having trouble getting the hang of it, simply listen to the song and learn from there.
