1 Struttin' Basic

COURSE: struttin-vol-i-introduction

FOCUS: This lesson introduces the Struttin' basic step, which is a slow jog or run performed on every beat, focusing on relaxation and a downward pulse.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Step down on every beat to maintain the rhythm.
• Relax your hips to allow a natural sway as you move.
• Roll through your feet to soften impact and absorb it naturally.
• Keep steps under your body to avoid lifting knees or sending legs back.
• Move forward, backward, or side-to-side freely to find what feels comfortable.

REMEMBER:

• Avoid lifting knees or sending legs back; focus on a downward fold of the leg.
• Use minimal energy to sustain dancing for long periods, as this is the slowest music in the course.
• Prioritize relaxation and comfort to enjoy dancing throughout the night.
