3 Quarter Time

COURSE: Rhythm Toolkit

FOCUS: This lesson teaches quarter time stepping, which involves moving at a quarter of the speed of single time, stepping once every four counts while elongating the movement.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Step only on the one count and elongate that step to last four counts.
• Avoid freezing or holding still for the three counts after stepping.
• Keep moving your body continuously, like dancing in slow motion.
• Practice stepping once every four counts without stopping movement.

REMEMBER:

• Quarter time means moving four times slower than single time stepping.
• The goal is to step once every four counts while maintaining fluid motion.
• Focus on elongating each step to fill the entire four-count duration.
• Avoid cheating by holding a static position; always keep the body in motion.
