18 Seated Dip I (other side)

COURSE: dips-tricks

FOCUS: This lesson teaches a seated dip on the opposite side from a previous lesson, focusing on a different entrance and catch technique while maintaining similar dipping mechanics.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Leaders start with weight on the right and followers on the left in closed position.
• After two steps, end in a parallelogram with body rotation to match the leader.
• Followers should wait for the leader's lead before turning and keep looking in the direction of travel during the turn.
• Keep arms at center height for easy reconnection after disconnection.
• Leaders reconnect with the left hand first, then body, then step back before dipping.
• Exit the dip by stepping out with the left foot for leaders and right foot for followers.

REMEMBER:

• The technique for the seated dip is the same as on the other side, but it feels different due to connecting on the opposite side.
• Followers should go straight down during the dip without throwing themselves backwards to control momentum.
• Maintain body rotation but avoid overdoing it to prevent imbalance.
• Use the catch technique to redirect energy without anticipating the turn too quickly.
