15 Triplet Steps： Solo

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-ii-improvisation-musicality

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on incorporating triplet rhythms into the Chicago triple step, practicing solo footwork to enhance musicality and groove.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Practice the triplet rhythm in the feet with steps like 'step and a step' to get the groove.
• Dig into the ground as you step, keeping the foot directly under the body and the body pitched forward.
• Slightly turn your body to make it easier for leaders when leading to the forelock later on.
• Think about your center moving and stepping underneath it to make the steps feel easier and less fast.
• Travel around the room with the triplets, adapting to the slow song and avoiding rushing the steps.

REMEMBER:

• Ensure the triplet rhythm stays within the styling of Chicago triple, avoiding being too upright.
• Focus on the body's movement and aesthetics, not just the feet, to improve flow and ease.
• Breathe and maintain a relaxed pace to feel the rhythm in your body without rushing.
• Keep the body positioned as if ready to start a race, with forward pitch for better balance and style.
