26 Compression Triplets with Spin

COURSE: Swinging Triplets

FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to add a spin to compression triplets, building on previous moves to create a more advanced and fancy ending for dancers.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Leaders should keep their elbow close to the body without moving forward or back to maintain frame.
• Followers should match the compression felt from leaders and respond by pushing off like from a wall to help with the turn.
• Practice the spin by compressing into a wall and pushing off to turn, allowing solo practice.
• Leaders can step throughout the move to stay synchronized with the rhythm and partner.
• Ensure both partners are stable at the end of the turn to continue dancing smoothly.

REMEMBER:

• Maintain a consistent frame and connection between partners to execute the move effectively.
• The release of compression should be quick and sharp, similar to Spider-Man releasing a web without arm movement.
• Followers should use the energy from leaders to initiate the spin, helping themselves turn around.
• Balance is key; finish the turn in a stable position, such as close or side-by-side, to keep dancing.
