13 Triple step side dip II

COURSE: dips-tricks

FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of the triple step and side dip, focusing on adding drama and travel for followers while leaders sit back, leading to a V-shaped side dip.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Leaders: Sit back on the right after leading followers forward with the arm to increase travel.
• Followers: Anchor weight on the left leg on step two for stability and balance.
• Followers: Let the leg swoop around naturally in the side dip without forcing the movement.
• Leaders: Step with the back leg close to the follower, then step back with the other leg to transition.
• Practice with grounding energy down into the hips to stay stable and connected to the ground.

REMEMBER:

• Maintain a V shape in the final side dip position for proper alignment.
• Use previous technique tips from the triple step and side dip to enhance this move.
• Focus on the swoopy feeling in the leg during the side dip for a natural flow.
• Ensure followers are grounded and balanced to continue movements smoothly.
