17 Single time rotation

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on mixing triple rhythm with single time rotation in Chicago Triple, teaching how to transition between rhythms while maintaining rotation and dynamics.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Start with triple rhythm on the spot and transition to single time stepping every beat.
• Use body shape and connection to communicate the change to the follow.
• Ground yourself more if losing balance to maintain stability.
• Maintain pulse and rotational momentum throughout the rotation.
• Add more rotation for a dynamic feel by stepping every beat with increased energy.

REMEMBER:

• The main change is stepping every beat instead of triple steps, while keeping other elements like body shape and rotation the same.
• Maintain pulse to avoid becoming flat, especially when rotating faster to a strong beat.
• Use connection to create counterbalance between centers in turns for stability and enjoyment.
• Practice transitioning between rhythms to build control and fluidity in the dance.
