2 Half Time

COURSE: Rhythm Toolkit

FOCUS: This lesson teaches dancing half time, which involves stepping every two beats instead of every beat, with the goal of practicing slow, elongated movements to a song.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Step on beats one and three only.
• Elongate movements through beats two and four without stepping.
• Practice slowly to a song to master the rhythm.

REMEMBER:

• Half time means dancing at half the speed of single time.
• Focus on stepping every two counts to maintain the half-time feel.
• Use the two and four beats for movement transitions rather than steps.
