4 The Pulse

COURSE: texas-shuffle-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the 'pose' in Texas Shuffle, emphasizing a horizontal energy and smooth movement, with practice on maintaining leverage during in-and-out drifts.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Practice drifting closer together and further apart while keeping a horizontal energy.
• Let go of your partner to check if they step back, ensuring leverage is maintained.
• Use a mirror to monitor and maintain consistent posture during practice.
• Reestablish leverage when coming in if you feel a drop in energy.
• Film yourself to self-assess your posture and movement.

REMEMBER:

• The pose in this style involves horizontal energy, not just up-and-down or forward-and-back movements.
• Leverage should persist even when drifting in and out, with energy flowing opposite to body movement.
• Maintain the same posture throughout to avoid leaning back or losing form.
• Individual differences in arm length may affect the appearance of the pulse, but the principle remains consistent.
