COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns

FOCUS: This lesson teaches leader variation 2, focusing on incorporating triple steps while walking around, with an option to add a heel scuff for a percussive effect.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Add a heel scuff by softly scuffing the floor on the way into the triple step.
• Keep the heel scuff quiet in social dances to avoid excessive noise.
• Practice triple steps as triple step, triple step, triple step in normal timing.
• Add or remove triple steps flexibly during the movement.
• Maintain timing and momentum while walking around with triple steps.

REMEMBER:

• The heel scuff should be a soft, quietly percussive action.
• Followers should stay on their axis to keep it simple.
• The variation does not necessarily change the timing or momentum.
• Come out of the movement just like normal.
• Practice with a song to integrate the steps smoothly.
