4 Rhythmic Sways

COURSE: Exploring Axes

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing rhythmic sways by playing with different rhythms in the music, using a mix of quick and slow movements while maintaining split weight and grounded posture.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Use the ground and lower body to initiate sways, not just the upper body.
• Keep glutes and thighs active, especially during faster sways.
• Stay low and grounded to avoid bouncing off your partner.
• Practice transitioning in and out of sways smoothly.
• Leaders should be clear with the initiation and rhythm of sways.

REMEMBER:

• Maintain split weight to transition effectively between sways.
• Focus on lower body engagement to prevent floppy upper body movements.
• Keep movements loose and grounded to enhance connection with the partner.
• Use the music's details to guide the rhythm of your sways.
