2 Over The Knee

COURSE: dips-tricks-2

FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Over The Knee' dip, focusing on achieving the dip position through rotation and maintaining connection between partners.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Followers should keep rolling along the arms during the turn to end up side by side with the leader.
• Followers should tuck their right hand around the leader's waist during practice for later use.
• The fun dip happens on count five with no steps, where the follower leans their back into the leader's thigh.
• Followers should think about rotating around the leader instead of going down into the ground for an easier exit.
• Leaders should also think about rotation to make the movement easier and maintain flow.

REMEMBER:

• The dip looks fancy but is simple, with the follower's weight on their right leg during the lean.
• Connection is key: follower's left side connects to leader's right side, with arms free and not trapped.
• Timing can be adjusted to fit the music, making the turn and dip faster or slower as desired.
• Rotation in and out prevents the dip from becoming a static shape and maintains movement flow.
