9 Stretch & Matrix

COURSE: our-favourite-moves

FOCUS: This lesson combines the stretch move with the matrix move from previous classes, focusing on integrating them into a fluid sequence with optional styling at the end.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Start with the stretch move exactly as before, then transition into the matrix without stopping the rotation.
• Followers should keep turning continuously rather than finishing the step forward.
• Leaders go down slightly onto the left during the rotation before letting go and coming back together.
• After the back-to-back position, you can add the hand-over-the-head styling move if desired.
• Practice the timing by playing with the music to enhance the flow of the move.

REMEMBER:

• The move is simple and builds on previously learned steps, making it easy to integrate.
• Styling at the end is optional and can be adapted based on personal preference or feeling.
• Maintain continuous rotation throughout the sequence to ensure smooth transitions between moves.
• The key change involves not stopping at the end of the stretch, but instead continuing into the matrix rotation.
