||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||

##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Axis is a column of balance; weight can shift without changing axis.
|
||||
- Axis shifts involve the body moving through space as weight transfers.
|
||||
- Consistency and smoothness in movement enhance clarity and communication.
|
||||
- Axis shifts do not need to be big to be clear and effective.

<p>COURSE: Exploring Axes</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on applying axis control to side steps, teaching an eight-count pattern that travels laterally while maintaining clear weight shifts and upper body relaxation.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Shift your axis clearly with each step to communicate direction effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the upper body relaxed and allow a slight sway or delay through the spine.</li>
|
||||
<li>Generate power from the lower body by pushing off the floor, not from the upper body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the pattern with variations, such as changing counts every four or two.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partner dancing, ensure axis shifts are clear to avoid pulling or confusing your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should use their feet and body placement, not hands, to guide movements.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Axis shifts are crucial for clarity in movement, especially in partner dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Upper body should remain soft and responsive, not rigid or block-like.</li>
|
||||
<li>Communication in dance relies on felt weight and axis changes, not visual cues alone.</li>
|
||||
<li>Improvise and vary step counts to adapt the pattern socially.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a clear connection with the floor through active pushing from the lower body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with a partner to test the effectiveness of axis communication, even with eyes closed.</li>

<p>COURSE: Exploring Axes</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on a box step variation in the Exploring Axes course, teaching a quick, quick, slow pattern with emphasis on axis and weight shifts for coordination with a partner.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Practice the quick, quick, slow pattern with steps like 'right, left, right' for followers and 'left, right, left' for leads.</li>
|
||||
<li>Think of the steps as 'big, big, small' where two steps travel more and one is under the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure a clear axis shift on the small step during the pattern.</li>
|
||||
<li>Try the variation in closed position or embrace to sync with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a step touch basic to enter and exit the box step move smoothly.</li>
|
||||
<li>Improvise by mixing the box step with a normal walk or step touch for variety.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Each step involves a full weight shift, allowing you to pick up the leg easily.</li>
|
||||
<li>The axis shift is crucial for maintaining balance and coordination in the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should clearly indicate direction and weight shifts to guide followers.</li>
|
||||
<li>There are no strict rules; you can go forward or back as preferred, such as forward as a lead.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson focuses on a box step variation in the Exploring Axes course, teaching a quick, quick, slow pattern with emphasis on axis and weight shifts for coordination with a partner.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Practice the quick, quick, slow pattern with steps like 'right, left, right' for followers and 'left, right, left' for leads.
|
||||
- Think of the steps as 'big, big, small' where two steps travel more and one is under the body.
|
||||
- Ensure a clear axis shift on the small step during the pattern.
|
||||
- Try the variation in closed position or embrace to sync with a partner.
|
||||
- Use a step touch basic to enter and exit the box step move smoothly.
|
||||
- Improvise by mixing the box step with a normal walk or step touch for variety.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Each step involves a full weight shift, allowing you to pick up the leg easily.
|
||||
- The axis shift is crucial for maintaining balance and coordination in the movement.
|
||||
- Leaders should clearly indicate direction and weight shifts to guide followers.
|
||||
- There are no strict rules; you can go forward or back as preferred, such as forward as a lead.

<p>COURSE: Exploring Axes</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing sways, a subtle movement where weight and axis shift partially between legs without fully transferring, to explore axes in dance.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Distribute weight between left and right legs, swaying with about 60% in one leg and 40% in the other.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the floor actively by pushing with the lower body and engaging the glutes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax the upper body and let the movement trickle up the spine.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transition out of a sway by shifting 100% of weight and axis over one leg to step.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partnering, leaders choose steps or sways while followers tune into subtle axis and weight cues.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lead the sway from the lower body, not the upper body, to maintain a relaxed connection.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>

<li>The movement is active and subtle, requiring engagement of the lower body and glutes.</li>

<li>Transitions between sways and steps are controlled by conscious weight and axis shifts.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces hesitations, a dance move involving a full weight shift to one foot without fully shifting the axis, allowing for dynamic movement and partner connection.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Shift 100% of your weight to one foot so you could lift the other, but don't fully shift your axis to avoid staying there.</li>
|
||||
<li>Push actively from the floor with the lower body, engaging thighs and glutes for power.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the non-weight-bearing leg still as an anchor point to maintain stability.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate hesitations into patterns like alternating sides or combining with steps such as a box step.</li>
|
||||
<li>When partnering, ensure clear weight shifts and body positions so followers can feel the difference.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should actively dig into the floor and own the move, not just be moved into it.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Hesitations involve a full weight shift but not a full axis shift, creating a temporary, unsteady position.</li>
|
||||
<li>The move is lower-body focused with active motion, emphasizing grounding and power from the legs.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partner dancing with hesitations requires continuous adjustment and communication, like a conversation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Both leads and followers equally own the move, with followers maintaining active engagement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Hesitations can be integrated into various patterns and transitions, enhancing improvisation and flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>The process is analog and continuous, involving constant reading and adaptation between partners.</li>

||||
- Incorporate hesitations into patterns like alternating sides or combining with steps such as a box step.
|
||||
- When partnering, ensure clear weight shifts and body positions so followers can feel the difference.
|
||||
- Followers should actively dig into the floor and own the move, not just be moved into it.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Hesitations involve a full weight shift but not a full axis shift, creating a temporary, unsteady position.
|
||||
- The move is lower-body focused with active motion, emphasizing grounding and power from the legs.
|
||||
- Partner dancing with hesitations requires continuous adjustment and communication, like a conversation.
|
||||
- Both leads and followers equally own the move, with followers maintaining active engagement.
|
||||
- Hesitations can be integrated into various patterns and transitions, enhancing improvisation and flow.
|
||||
- The process is analog and continuous, involving constant reading and adaptation between partners.
