1 Side to side swing in your basic step

COURSE: Transition and Flow - Solo

FOCUS: This lesson introduces the side to side swing as part of a dance basics course, focusing on integrating it into basic steps to enhance movement flow.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Start with a normal basic step without swing to establish the foundation.
• Add a small side to side swing gradually, avoiding excessive movement.
• Practice the swing while moving around the room, including rotations and forward/backward directions.
• Compare the feeling with and without swing to notice differences in fluidity.
• Ensure the swing is subtle and comfortable to prevent strain or pain.

REMEMBER:

• Incorporate swing into basics to add dynamic flow to movements.
• Maintain control by keeping the swing minimal and not too large.
• Use the swing to enhance natural movement during rotations and transitions.
• Practice in various directions to adapt the swing to different dance scenarios.
• Focus on the pelvis movement as discussed in previous lessons for effective swing integration.
