6 Footwork variation: Triple Step Slide
COURSE: struttin-vol-ii-more-moves
FOCUS: This lesson teaches a footwork variation called the Triple Step Slide, focusing on integrating it into strutting with proper technique and transitions.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Think about opposite energy: one leg goes forward while the other slides back.
- Add a triple rhythm to the steps for smooth execution.
- Swing hips slightly forward and back to keep the step in place.
- Practice traveling the variation in different directions like forwards, backwards, or sideways.
- Transition in and out of the strutting basic by stepping every beat and relaxing the hips.
REMEMBER:
- The slide variation is versatile and can be performed in place or while traveling.
- It is an independent forward variation, easier for followers to insert without relying on a leader.
- Maintain the technique from previous classes, focusing on hip movement and step placement.
- This variation can be used in partner work with solid connection and lean.
