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.
