23 She's Crazy Dip I

COURSE: dips-tricks

FOCUS: This lesson teaches the She's Crazy dip, a sequence involving a catch, a pause and flip, and a turn leading to a dip, with emphasis on connection and timing.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Start from a catch position and ensure you have learned catches before attempting the move.
• Leaders should guide followers to take a definite step onto the left leg on count three to maintain linear energy.
• Followers should wait for the lead before stepping across on count four to avoid rushing and enjoy the suspension.
• Leaders use subtle hand guidance to initiate the turn, allowing followers to complete it naturally.
• Practice the step sequence without worrying about connection first, then integrate hand connections for control.
• Adjust the speed of the step across based on the music, playing with timing for musicality.

REMEMBER:

• The dip allows for multiple ending options, such as upright, seated, or lower dips, chosen based on comfort and music.
• Maintain energy in a linear direction during the sequence to ensure proper stepping and balance.
• Connection is key; leaders should reconnect hands early to guide followers securely through the move.
• Enjoy the pause in the sequence; it adds beauty and should not be rushed, with timing adaptable to the music.
