COURSE: slow-drag-with-damon-kelsey

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on partnered styling in slow drag, exploring how movement choices and body shapes enhance musicality and connection between partners.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Sink your hips during the drag to create a different shape.
• Keep forearms resting against each other when holding arms up for self-support.
• Use a palm-to-palm hold with your wrist against your chest for a comfortable shape.
• Experiment with arm extensions or reverse palm-to-palm connections.
• Consider traveling side-to-side or front-and-back based on the music.

REMEMBER:

• Movement decisions like traveling or staying in place are the first steps to musicality in partnership.
• Body shapes from the leader can invite the follower to join, adding to partnered musicality.
• Prioritize comfort and clear communication when creating shapes like hand placements.
• Make choices based on the music to enhance the dance experience.
