14 Messaround

COURSE: late-night-blues

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the Messaround movement, teaching how to rotate the pelvis in smooth, even circles while maintaining proper posture and weight changes.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Keep feet under your body and avoid making the circle too big.
• Shift weight every two counts with the music for a slow, controlled rhythm.
• Initiate the movement by swinging hips forward first for clarity with a partner.
• Practice both clockwise and anticlockwise rotations to build versatility.
• Maintain a relaxed close embrace when practicing with a partner to move as one body.

REMEMBER:

• Focus on the quality and consistency of the rotation for a smooth circle.
• The Messaround can be initiated by either partner during the slow drag.
• Weight changes are key to feeling the movement and staying balanced.
• Choose your starting direction and rotation based on personal preference.
