4 Chicago Triple with a partner

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing the Chicago Triple Basic Step with a partner, emphasizing adjustments in posture and connection for comfort and movement freedom.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Start in a close embrace with an upright posture, but adjust to create space in the center area for the Chicago triple shape.
• Ensure the connection is comfortable, especially in the chest area, and avoid tight wrapping of arms to allow spine movement.
• For taller partners, avoid leaning forward too much and keep the right arm relaxed, even on the partner's left side.
• Maintain a long and comfortable neck position to enhance posture and connection.
• Optionally, dance in a closed position with more space if close embrace is uncomfortable, allowing flexibility in hand placement.

REMEMBER:

• Comfort is key in partner connection; adjust posture and embrace to find a comfortable fit before dancing.
• Both leaders and followers should keep arms super relaxed to enable free movement and maintain the Chicago triple shape.
• Connection can vary based on height or body shape differences; be adaptable and prioritize mutual comfort.
• You can transition between close embrace and closed position during the dance, syncing movements with your partner and the music.
