18 Groove Space

COURSE: texas-shuffle-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson introduces groove space in Texas shuffle, focusing on relaxing and releasing energy without leverage or compression to dance in a relaxed posture.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Relax and release energy in closed or moping positions to groove around.
• Try jank rounds and tick tocks while moving around in groove space.
• Separate and come back together as part of the groove practice.
• Send hips back as a signal to transition back to leverage or compression.

REMEMBER:

• Groove space removes leverage and compression for a more relaxed dance feel.
• Either leader or follower can initiate transitions like drops or returns to leverage.
• Maintain a relaxed posture while focusing on footwork and shuffle movements.
