3 Slow Quick Quick%3A Variation II

COURSE: Latin Blues Volume 1

FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of the Slow Quick Quick step in Latin Blues, focusing on creating distance and a different shape between partners by opening the body and releasing the hand.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Open your body slightly and release the hand to create distance between partners.
• Connect with the hand to maintain space and flow during the steps.
• Incorporate a delay in body movement to avoid moving as a block.
• Relax into the movement to achieve smooth transitions.
• To stop the variation, simply don't open the body and return to closed dancing.

REMEMBER:

• Avoid pushing; the distance is created through body opening and hand release.
• Delay in body movement enhances the slow rhythm and creates beautiful shapes.
• Maintain equilibrium by stepping back as space increases between partners.
• The technique is similar to leading or following in dances like Lindy Hop.
• Focus on the feeling of distance and flow rather than speed.
