2 Improvising with Contra-body

COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on improvising with contra-body steps, allowing dancers to choose between taps and steps while maintaining the contra-body swing and pulse.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Use taps to maintain swing without changing weight.
• Change weight with steps while keeping the contra-body swing.
• Improvise by mixing taps and steps in any order or direction.
• If you get lost, stop, reset, and start again to maintain flow.

REMEMBER:

• Maintain the contra-body swing at all times during improvisation.
• Improvise freely around the space with both legs and directions.
• Keep the pulse consistent to avoid stopping the swing.
