<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Texas Tommy turn with a strutting basic, focusing on leaders tossing the follower's hand in a natural arc and catching them smoothly during rotation.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers place their right arm behind their back to test comfort before attempting the move.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should put their palm on top of the follower's hand and lead from the forearm and wrist, not by pulling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the follower's arm super relaxed and floating during the toss to avoid discomfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Catch the follower as they unwind from the turn, using the right forearm to smooth the transition back into connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a strutting basic pulse and center rotation to make the redirect effortless.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>Comfort is paramount; followers should skip the move if the arm position causes shoulder or arm discomfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>The toss itself creates the turn's energy, so leaders should focus on the natural pathway of the follower's arm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Hand connection in the Texas Tommy hold is not used for leading; rely on forearm contact instead.</li>
|
||||
<li>This move is optional and can be added to a lean-to whenever desired, with counts not fixed to the music.</li>

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain your strutting pulse and basic jogging every beat during turns.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep your strutting butt engaged, especially for followers to enhance turn energy.</li>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on performing sweeps, a dynamic movement in strutting, emphasizing creating rotation and leg sweeps while maintaining a solid upper-body connection in a lean-to position.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders step left, right, left, right, aiming connection toward the opposite foot to initiate rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers keep hips facing forwards and legs relaxed to allow natural sweeps without actively moving them.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with a partner by getting into a lean-to, pressing down through arms and shoulders for solid connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start small with twist in the core to avoid overdoing the movement and throwing the partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers can initiate sweeps by taking a big first step to signal rotation for the leader to follow.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a solid upper-body connection through arms, shoulders, back, and chest for effective sweeps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Hips should always stay facing forwards to ensure proper leg tracking and avoid crossing over.</li>
|
||||
<li>Sweeps rely on feeling the leader's rotation rather than followers trying to make it happen actively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Both leaders and followers can initiate sweeps, sharing responsibility for dynamic movement in the dance.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Lean-to Spin, a dynamic move from the lean-to position that may involve sliding or slight lifts, emphasizing it as inspiration rather than a requirement for all dancers.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start from a strut and basic to get the dance feel in your body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Build up rotation speed until it feels natural to slide or lift.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers keep a solid connection and lean, then stop stepping to slide around.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders don't try to stay in the spin forever; aim for one or two rotations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice at speed with music to build momentum.</li>
|
||||
<li>Exit by bringing a leg in and stepping if needed.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>This move may not work for everyone due to height or body size differences.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches the Lean-to Spin, a dynamic move from the lean-to position that may involve sliding or slight lifts, emphasizing it as inspiration rather than a requirement for all dancers.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Start from a strut and basic to get the dance feel in your body.
|
||||
- Build up rotation speed until it feels natural to slide or lift.
|
||||
- Followers keep a solid connection and lean, then stop stepping to slide around.
|
||||
- Leaders don't try to stay in the spin forever; aim for one or two rotations.
|
||||
- Practice at speed with music to build momentum.
|
||||
- Exit by bringing a leg in and stepping if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- This move may not work for everyone due to height or body size differences.
|
||||
- It's meant as inspiration, so don't force it if it doesn't feel natural.
|
||||
- Focus on a solid lean-to connection for weight support.
|
||||
- The spin happens when there's enough rotational energy to make stepping difficult.
|
||||
- It can be done for a quarter or half rotation as a musical accent.
|
||||
- Leaders should be mindful of the follower's comfort and not overdo it.

<p>COURSE: struttin-vol-ii-more-moves</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on core activation exercises for Struttin dance, using a wall to simulate partner connection and build strength for maintaining proper posture and space.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use a wall with elbows and forearms against it to activate muscles like the anterior serratus for better posture.</li>
|
||||
<li>Push your armpits down to create space between your face and shoulders, especially helpful for shorter followers.</li>
|
||||
<li>Pull your ribs together and widen your back to support your lower back with abdominal muscles.</li>
|
||||
<li>Progress exercises by moving feet further from the wall or transitioning to a floor plank for increased challenge.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep your neck relaxed and straight while engaging core muscles to avoid tension and maintain alignment.</li>
|
||||
<li>During the plank, focus on pushing the floor away and breathing steadily to prevent fatigue.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>In Struttin, the follower leans onto the leader while the leader maintains an athletic posture without leaning, creating more space for footwork.</li>
|
||||
<li>Core strength is essential for maintaining this connection and preventing lower back pain during dance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid collapsing the neck, shoulders, or lower back to support the spine and improve dance comfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice core engagement gradually, starting on a wall and progressing to the floor as strength improves.</li>
|
||||
<li>Aim to keep core muscles engaged for the duration of a song to enhance dance performance and endurance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Regular core training helps build a better connection to muscles, making dance movements more efficient and enjoyable.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Camel Walk footwork variation in strutting, focusing on half-time practice and blending it with the basic strutting step.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep one leg straight and one leg bent to create a strutting pulse.</li>
|
||||
<li>Accent the movement with pops for a sharper, more defined shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice crossing feet while maintaining the bent and straight leg principle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Try a chug variation by sending both feet forward simultaneously as if pushed from behind.</li>
|
||||
<li>Blend the Camel Walk with the normal jogging step for strutting to transition smoothly.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The Camel Walk has a sharper edge and more defined shape compared to softer strutting moves.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate the strutting pulse by shifting weight into one hip more than the other.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice in all directions: forward, back, side-to-side, and with rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the Camel Walk as an accent or in sequences to add variety to strutting.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on whole-body movement to power the chug variation from behind.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches the Camel Walk footwork variation in strutting, focusing on half-time practice and blending it with the basic strutting step.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Keep one leg straight and one leg bent to create a strutting pulse.
|
||||
- Accent the movement with pops for a sharper, more defined shape.
|
||||
- Practice crossing feet while maintaining the bent and straight leg principle.
|
||||
- Try a chug variation by sending both feet forward simultaneously as if pushed from behind.
|
||||
- Blend the Camel Walk with the normal jogging step for strutting to transition smoothly.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- The Camel Walk has a sharper edge and more defined shape compared to softer strutting moves.
|
||||
- Incorporate the strutting pulse by shifting weight into one hip more than the other.
|
||||
- Practice in all directions: forward, back, side-to-side, and with rotation.
|
||||
- Use the Camel Walk as an accent or in sequences to add variety to strutting.
|
||||
- Focus on whole-body movement to power the chug variation from behind.

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the backslide or moonwalk technique, focusing on sliding variations and integrating them into strutting with proper body opposition and pulse.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Dig one toe into the ground and pull that leg forward while pulling the other back to create opposition.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep one leg bent and one leg straight, similar to the camel walk, for better control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine energetically sending the bent leg forward even if it doesn't move to enhance resistance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a pulse in the body while sliding, starting slow and adjusting speed as needed.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the slide at different tempos, such as every two beats or every beat, to build versatility.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate single backslides into strutting basics for creative expression.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>The backslide originated from tap dancers and was popularized as the moonwalk by Michael Jackson.</li>
|

<li>Focus on body opposition and intention to improve movement quality and control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the technique as a springboard for creativity, adapting it to fit strutting style without strict rules.</li>
|

<li>Practice with a partner and different songs to integrate slides naturally into dance routines.</li>
|
||||
<li>Speed can affect ease; faster slides may feel more natural than slow ones.</li>
|
||||
<li>The goal is to make the movement feel like strutting, drawing inspiration from related dance styles.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Pop Turn, a strutting move that involves opening from a partner and using arm connection to create a turn, building on previous courses.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers should slide their left arm down instead of keeping it wrapped around the leader during rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a frame with shoulders rolled back and down to avoid shoulder issues.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should drop the elbow downward and bring it back to horizontal, not pointing upward, during the pop.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure both partners are in a balanced position without leaning before attempting the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the deepening arm connection to push off into the turn, creating it from the rotation.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The key to the Pop Turn is the moment of arm compression and connection between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>This turn is similar to previous lessons but uses the other arm to open up.</li>
|
||||
<li>Dancers should come out of a lean-to position to maintain balance before turning.</li>
|
||||
<li>The turn is generated from the existing rotation in the strutting style, requiring no extra effort.</li>

- Followers should slide their left arm down instead of keeping it wrapped around the leader during rotation.
|
||||
- Maintain a frame with shoulders rolled back and down to avoid shoulder issues.
|
||||
- Leaders should drop the elbow downward and bring it back to horizontal, not pointing upward, during the pop.
|
||||
- Ensure both partners are in a balanced position without leaning before attempting the turn.
|
||||
- Use the deepening arm connection to push off into the turn, creating it from the rotation.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- The key to the Pop Turn is the moment of arm compression and connection between partners.
|
||||
- This turn is similar to previous lessons but uses the other arm to open up.
|
||||
- Dancers should come out of a lean-to position to maintain balance before turning.
|
||||
- The turn is generated from the existing rotation in the strutting style, requiring no extra effort.
