2 Slow Quick Quick Footwork

COURSE: Latin Blues Volume 1

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on mastering the slow, quick, quick rhythm in Latin Blues footwork, emphasizing fluid body movement and adding Latin flavor or 'sabor' to the dance.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Roll your feet by connecting the ball first, then gradually transferring weight to the heel.
• Imagine sucking energy up from the floor through your toes, feet, legs, hips, spine, and head.
• Keep movement continuous; avoid waiting between steps to fill the music and space.
• Ensure your foot is always underneath your hip when stepping to maintain balance.
• Play with body shapes to add personal expression and flavor to the movement.

REMEMBER:

• Add Latin flavor or 'sabor' by moving softly and expressively, as if on a sunny beach.
• Use your entire body to create shapes, not just stepping with isolated foot movements.
• Focus on fluid weight transfer and rolling the feet to translate movement throughout the body.
• Maintain continuous motion without pauses to enhance the dance's rhythm and flow.
