14 Turn into Side Dip I (Other Side)

COURSE: dips-tricks

FOCUS: This lesson teaches a side dip variation on the other side, focusing on transitioning from a turn into a side lunge and exiting with a rotation.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Leaders should drop and lift the hand to guide the follower's rotation and place the follower's right hand on the leader's right shoulder.
• Followers should keep the leg closest to the leader straight during the side lunge to maintain stability and prevent caving forward.
• During the exit, leaders use their whole body to send the follower sideways, initiating a rotation in the follower's upper body.
• Followers should think about turning down a line away from the leader after the exit to continue the movement smoothly.

REMEMBER:

• Maintain a strong connection between partners throughout the dip and exit to ensure stability and coordinated movement.
• The side dip requires precise weight shifts and body positioning to execute safely and effectively.
• Practice the transition from the turn to the lunge slowly to build confidence and avoid falls.
• The exit involves generating rotation through body movement rather than pushing, emphasizing fluidity and control.
