11 Advanced Combination%3A Flick, Spin & Dip

COURSE: dips-tricks

FOCUS: This lesson teaches an advanced combination sequence involving a lunge, flick, spin, and side dip, focusing on maintaining frame and connection throughout.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Transfer weight forward in the lunge to create disconnection and initiate the flick.
• Slide the connection hand closer to the follower's left shoulder blade to create a lock for the pop turn.
• Followers should press back with their arm against the leader's arm to actively respond during the spin.
• Leaders should close their body slightly to signal the spin without pulling the follower.
• Ensure the side dip is delicate by moving your own body first, allowing the follower to follow gently.

REMEMBER:

• Frame is crucial for maintaining connection and preventing disconnection during the lock and spin.
• The entire flick and turn sequence occurs with weight on one leg, requiring balance and stability.
• Followers must keep their shoulder connected to their body and arm to the side for a strong connection.
• Leaders communicate redirection by opening their body, while followers respond to the signal promptly.
