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

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on warming up and recapping the Chicago Triple rhythm from a previous course, preparing dancers for improvisation and new techniques.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Roll shoulders and take deep breaths to relax and ground energy.
• Step with a triple rhythm, avoiding being too straight by leaving the hip behind.
• Mix and match triple and single steps freely during practice.
• Dance in closed or open embrace with a partner to improvise.
• Move around and cross steps as needed to maintain flow.

REMEMBER:

• Recall techniques from the previous course to reinforce learning before advancing.
• Focus on the pulse and shape of movements to enhance rhythm and style.
• Improvise by playing with known steps and partner interactions.
• Use the warm-up to send energy into the ground for better stability.
