1 Move 1%3A Soft Tail

COURSE: the-spirit-moves-solo-styling

FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Soft Tail' move, focusing on stepping and pivoting with weight shifts and adding styling from the center of the body.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Start with weight on the left and step to the right, then pivot by turning with all weight on one leg.
• Think of the step being led from the belly button, as if pulled by the belt, to create forward movement.
• Add a delay in the body by leaving shoulders and head back for styling, creating a twist effect.
• Optionally collect the leg in under the hip before turning, or keep feet wide for a twist like a figure of eight.

REMEMBER:

• Pivot means turning with all weight on one leg, alternating between diagonal corners.
• Styling can involve pulling from the center to lead steps and delaying upper body movements.
• Both leg collection and wide foot placements are acceptable styling options for this move.
