COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure
FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing a contra-body movement with a 90-degree rotation, specifically twisting on step four and releasing to transition, building on previous drills.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Twist on step four to add extra rotation to the contra body.
- Release on step five to transition onto the right foot and face the side.
- Take four steps forward with contra body before twisting.
- Perform back steps on six and seven to reset on eight.
- Keep the movement soft and swinging, not robotic.
- Ensure the body does not stop in the middle of the movement.
REMEMBER:
- Pay attention to timing and the softness of upper body movement.
- The swinging action should feel fluid, not like going through motions mechanically.
- Step four is the slow one, but avoid stopping the body.
- Practice repeatedly to build muscle memory and improve feel.
- Focus on maintaining a continuous, flowing motion throughout the drill.
