6 Rotation

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding clockwise rotation in closed position to the Chicago triple basic, aiming to enhance dynamics and interest while maintaining the dance's characteristic shape and rhythm.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Leaders step around into the follower's space to initiate rotation.
• Followers step across with their legs while keeping their body facing the leader.
• Maintain a consistent speed of rotation throughout the movement.
• Use the left arm connection in closed position, especially when leaning away on the left step.
• Add more dynamic energy to smooth out the triple rhythm and increase rotation speed.
• Exit the rotation by stopping and returning to the stationary basic anytime.

REMEMBER:

• Keep the body tracking towards your partner to create a cross shape during rotation.
• Maintain the Chicago triple shape with a lean towards your step for added dynamics.
• The connection in closed position is crucial for leading and following the rotation effectively.
• Rotation can be adjusted for speed and smoothness to enhance excitement and flow.
