16 Triplet partnered

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-ii-improvisation-musicality

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on leading the triplet variation from the Chicago triple in partnered dance, emphasising compression and dynamic movement.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Use compression on the first step by stepping straight forwards towards your partner.
• Keep steps small and under your body, especially in faster music.
• Rotate the body slightly to enhance the feeling of compression.
• Followers should maintain a slight delay in movement when led into faster steps.
• Practice transitions between Chicago triple and triplet variations.

REMEMBER:

• Compression should come from body energy moving forwards, not from tensing arms.
• The angle of the first step is crucial for dynamic compression.
• Faster music requires smaller steps to maintain control and connection.
