18 Swinging Triplet Step%3A Solo

COURSE: Swinging Triplets

FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Swinging Triplet Step in a solo context, focusing on stepping three times on each side while maintaining a swinging body motion and rhythm.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Step three times on one side and three times on the other, changing axis with each count.
• Maintain a swaying motion by imagining holding a baby or being on a boat to create a natural swing.
• Keep the center low and grounded, as if holding a heavy bowling ball to enhance the swing.
• Travel forward, backward, or add rotation while stepping to practice movement in the room.
• Focus on keeping feet under the body, allowing them to cross naturally without worrying about precise placement.

REMEMBER:

• Maintain a continuous swinging motion in the body to drive the rhythm and flow of the steps.
• Stay grounded and low in the center to support the swing and prevent falling.
• The weight distribution on each step, especially the second step, can vary based on personal preference or music.
• The rhythm follows a pattern of 'one and two and' to sync the steps with the swinging motion.
• Prioritize fun and fluidity over technical perfection, keeping the movement hypnotic and relaxed.
