12 Send Out 2

COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i

FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of the 'send out' move where the leader adds extra rotation to lead the follower into a turn, focusing on generating rotational energy and smooth reconnection.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Leaders: Exaggerate the body opening at the end of the send out to create rotational energy for the follower's turn.
• Followers: Keep steps under your body while rotating to avoid rushing back and maintain balance.
• Leaders: Move or rotate slightly around the partner to adjust for space and ensure a smooth reconnection after the turn.
• Followers: Always look at the leader during the turn to understand their position and reconnect more smoothly.
• Practice both versions of the send out (with and without rotation) to improve communication and recognition of the lead.

REMEMBER:

• The key to leading the turn is in the preparation, where extra rotation before release generates the necessary energy.
• Followers should prioritize controlled, under-body steps over speed to maintain alignment and timing.
• Leaders must be aware of the partner's proximity and adjust their body position dynamically for a seamless transition.
• This variation takes longer to complete, requiring four triples for the follower to return to partnership.
