17 Playing with triplet steps

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-ii-improvisation-musicality

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on improvising with triplet steps independently from a partner, emphasizing subtlety and isolation to avoid affecting the partner's movement.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Use the heel for the first step on the one to stay upright.
• Keep weight further back in the body to isolate the step.
• Maintain the center in the same position and feet under the body.
• Add a fan variation optionally, but stick to the straight step for simplicity.

REMEMBER:

• Triplet steps can be done independently without leading or waiting for a partner.
• Isolate the step to make it subtle and not affect the partner's body shape.
• Focus on heel usage and weight distribution for better control.
• Treat improvisation as a game, adding steps wherever and whenever desired.
