8 Stretch and compression with triple step

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing stretch and compression with the triple step rhythm in Chicago Triple, starting from closed position and transitioning to open position while maintaining forward-backward movement.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Use the out motion to create stretch and transition into open position.
• Change hand connection anytime during practice for flexibility.
• Sing 'in in out out' in your head to maintain continuous motion.
• Travel straight forwards and backwards towards your partner.
• Avoid too much side-to-side movement to preserve stretch and compression feeling.

REMEMBER:

• Keep steps on a line to enhance the stretch and compression effect.
• Maintain flowing motion without stopping during compression.
• Practice in both closed and open positions for versatility.
• Focus on the triple rhythm in the feet while adjusting hand connections.
