|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders: Exaggerate the body opening at the end of the send out to create rotational energy for the follower's turn.</li>
|

<li>Followers: Keep steps under your body while rotating to avoid rushing back and maintain balance.</li>

<li>Leaders: Move or rotate slightly around the partner to adjust for space and ensure a smooth reconnection after the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers: Always look at the leader during the turn to understand their position and reconnect more smoothly.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice both versions of the send out (with and without rotation) to improve communication and recognition of the lead.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The key to leading the turn is in the preparation, where extra rotation before release generates the necessary energy.</li>
|

<li>Followers should prioritize controlled, under-body steps over speed to maintain alignment and timing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders must be aware of the partner's proximity and adjust their body position dynamically for a seamless transition.</li>
|

<li>This variation takes longer to complete, requiring four triples for the follower to return to partnership.</li>

<p>COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the outside turn in Chicago Triple, focusing on using rotational energy from a previous move and practicing with or without hand connections.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use the rotation learned earlier to generate energy before initiating the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Release the connection during the turn to allow the follower to open out and continue rotating naturally.</li>
|
||||
<li>Raise the hand for decoration when releasing, but ensure it stays in front of the follower's face for safety.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the turn slowly on the spot, stepping under yourself to maintain balance without falling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reconnect at the end of the turn, similar to the inside turn or send out, with options for rotation or no rotation.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The turn is driven by rotational energy, not by the hand, which is only for decoration.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should feel the direction of travel from the rotation and let their body carry on when released.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders must keep the hand in front of the follower's forehead to avoid pulling it behind and ensure safety.</li>
|
||||
<li>If height differences make the hand connection uncomfortable, use the option without the arm for a free turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>The reconnection at the end can be done with or without rotation, allowing for flexibility in the dance.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches the outside turn in Chicago Triple, focusing on using rotational energy from a previous move and practicing with or without hand connections.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Use the rotation learned earlier to generate energy before initiating the turn.
|
||||
- Release the connection during the turn to allow the follower to open out and continue rotating naturally.
|
||||
- Raise the hand for decoration when releasing, but ensure it stays in front of the follower's face for safety.
|
||||
- Practice the turn slowly on the spot, stepping under yourself to maintain balance without falling.
|
||||
- Reconnect at the end of the turn, similar to the inside turn or send out, with options for rotation or no rotation.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- The turn is driven by rotational energy, not by the hand, which is only for decoration.
|
||||
- Followers should feel the direction of travel from the rotation and let their body carry on when released.
|
||||
- Leaders must keep the hand in front of the follower's forehead to avoid pulling it behind and ensure safety.
|
||||
- If height differences make the hand connection uncomfortable, use the option without the arm for a free turn.
|
||||
- The reconnection at the end can be done with or without rotation, allowing for flexibility in the dance.

<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces the Chicago Triple basic step, focusing on developing a down pulse in the body and incorporating a triple rhythm in the feet while maintaining proper body shape and alignment.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Imagine having a basketball to help feel the down pulse without rushing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax your knees and let muscles flop to avoid tension while dropping down.</li>
|
||||
<li>Roll your feet and absorb into the ground to make less noise and control steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep feet under your hip joints and avoid stepping out to the side or taking wide steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lean the upper body into the direction of the step to create an asymmetric body shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>When moving, ensure the first step is under your body to prevent traveling and maintain balance.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The pulse is a key element of the Chicago Triple, providing an into-the-ground feeling that should be maintained throughout.</li>
|
||||
<li>The triple rhythm in the feet should not be rushed; delay it slightly for better control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Body shape involves leaning into steps with a stretch from rib to hip, enhancing movement and stability.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on keeping steps under your body to make it easier to maintain shape and avoid unnecessary travel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Absorbing into the ground is important for partner work to prevent strong landings.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice on a line when going forward and back to avoid drifting left or right.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on refining the closed position in Chicago triple dance, aiming to establish proper connection for better execution of future moves.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should place their right hand below the follower's left shoulder blade, more on the side, with a straight wrist and curved hand.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should fold their arm to connect along the forearm and wrap their hand lightly around the back of the leader's upper arm, not underneath.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure the hand is soft and not gripping, avoiding white knuckles or marks on the leader's arm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Position the hand below the shoulder blade to align with the leader's center for optimal connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use this connection to facilitate movement in all directions, including stretch and compression for upcoming moves.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Proper closed position connection is crucial for achieving the right feeling in other dance moves taught in the course.</li>
|
||||
<li>The connection should provide stability both right-left and forwards-backwards during dance movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a light and ready hand grip to allow for responsive and comfortable interaction without tension.</li>
|
||||
<li>Adjust hand placement based on follower's height to ensure arms connect well and align with the leader's center.</li>
|
||||
<li>This technique enhances overall dance flow and prepares for more advanced moves involving stretch and compression.</li>

<p>COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing a soft forward and back motion, like an accordion, in close position to enhance connection and togetherness in the dance.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers initiate by stepping forward on the right foot towards the leader, then back to the left foot's starting position.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep steps small and under the body without traveling far.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax the arms so they bend towards the center when moving forward and stretch back naturally.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders can also initiate by stepping towards the partner and letting the arm move slightly towards them.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed body shape, leaning slightly towards the partner and back over the leg.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the triple rhythm's flow to guide the motion without forcing it.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The motion is a soft accordion-style in and out that enhances connection between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relaxation in the arms prevents leading the partner unintentionally and promotes togetherness.</li>
|
||||
<li>Body shape and leaning help create the squishing effect between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>This can be added or stopped anytime during dancing for variation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep palms centered and stable if connecting them to avoid wobbling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the feeling of moving towards and away from the partner for a natural flow.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson focuses on practicing a soft forward and back motion, like an accordion, in close position to enhance connection and togetherness in the dance.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Followers initiate by stepping forward on the right foot towards the leader, then back to the left foot's starting position.
|
||||
- Keep steps small and under the body without traveling far.
|
||||
- Relax the arms so they bend towards the center when moving forward and stretch back naturally.
|
||||
- Leaders can also initiate by stepping towards the partner and letting the arm move slightly towards them.
|
||||
- Maintain a relaxed body shape, leaning slightly towards the partner and back over the leg.
|
||||
- Use the triple rhythm's flow to guide the motion without forcing it.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- The motion is a soft accordion-style in and out that enhances connection between partners.
|
||||
- Relaxation in the arms prevents leading the partner unintentionally and promotes togetherness.
|
||||
- Body shape and leaning help create the squishing effect between partners.
|
||||
- This can be added or stopped anytime during dancing for variation.
|
||||
- Keep palms centered and stable if connecting them to avoid wobbling.
|
||||
- Focus on the feeling of moving towards and away from the partner for a natural flow.
