5 Side By Side Slide

COURSE: Side By Side

FOCUS: This lesson teaches the side-by-side slide move, focusing on the preparation, execution, and timing of the slide with a partner.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Keep your foot in line with your knee and hip to prevent injury during the prep.
• Initiate the slide by pushing your center back as if pulled by a rope.
• Maintain a forward upper body posture during the slide to stay balanced.
• Followers should not anticipate the move; instead, react to the leader's cues.
• Practice the slide with varying counts to match the music.

REMEMBER:

• The slide timing is flexible and can be adjusted based on the music.
• Both leaders and followers must maintain proper alignment to avoid injury.
• Connection with your partner is key; followers should mirror the leader's movements.
• Balance is maintained by keeping the upper body forward during the slide.
