12 Send Out 2
COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i
FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of the 'send out' move where the leader adds extra rotation to lead the follower into a turn, focusing on generating rotational energy and smooth reconnection.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Leaders: Exaggerate the body opening at the end of the send out to create rotational energy for the follower's turn.
- Followers: Keep steps under your body while rotating to avoid rushing back and maintain balance.
- Leaders: Move or rotate slightly around the partner to adjust for space and ensure a smooth reconnection after the turn.
- Followers: Always look at the leader during the turn to understand their position and reconnect more smoothly.
- Practice both versions of the send out (with and without rotation) to improve communication and recognition of the lead.
REMEMBER:
- The key to leading the turn is in the preparation, where extra rotation before release generates the necessary energy.
- Followers should prioritize controlled, under-body steps over speed to maintain alignment and timing.
- Leaders must be aware of the partner's proximity and adjust their body position dynamically for a seamless transition.
- This variation takes longer to complete, requiring four triples for the follower to return to partnership.
