Part I

COURSE: we-just-want-to-dance

FOCUS: This lesson introduces move number one with multiple styling options, focusing on step patterns, body direction, and posture variations to build a foundational dance sequence.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Keep feet underneath the body and hips for stability during movements.
• Lean into the posture to create a nice rotational shape when turning.
• On the slide, keep the right leg stuck to the ground and scrape along the floor for good connection.
• Replace the step on the two with a slide and camel walk styling by bending the front leg and pushing up onto the toe.
• Maintain energy down in the body to avoid losing balance during asymmetric shapes.

REMEMBER:

• Choose the version of each move that feels most comfortable and best in your own body.
• Add direction with the body by facing slightly towards the direction of travel.
• Incorporate upper body movement to let it dance with you for a fuller expression.
• Practice the sequence with variations to build confidence and personal style.
