<p>FOCUS: This lesson explores choices for leaders and followers at the end of a send-out, focusing on establishing and playing with endpoints and rotation.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Think of the line as a point that stays fixed for the leader while the follower's point moves during the send-out.</li>
|
||||
<li>As a follower, slow down toward the end to signal a delay in reaching the endpoint, like gently applying brakes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders can unfurl or untwist their point as the follower travels, allowing for styling choices in timing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers can spend extra time at the endpoint before unwrapping, adding playfulness to the movement.</li>
|

<li>Use the 'closing the door' analogy to control how long it takes to finish the endpoint as a leader.</li>

</ul></p>

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>Endpoints are established separately for leaders and followers, with the leader's point generally staying fixed and the follower's moving.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rotation within the point adds fun and variation, with timing affecting the partnership's dynamics.</li>
|
||||
<li>The choice of endpoint timing is a stylistic decision for both roles, enhancing musicality and connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid abrupt stops; instead, think of slowing down gradually to create smoother transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice observing and adjusting endpoint timing in send-outs to improve coordination and expression.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding rotation to the Texas Shuffle through a protected rotation exercise, where partners practice anchoring and rotating around each other to build stability and control.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leads should step underneath themselves and stay anchored in one spot without moving.</li>
|
||||
<li>Follows should track their leader's movements and avoid falling over, even if crossing steps feels necessary.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a piece of tape or mark on the ground to practice staying under a spot for extra challenge.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partners can switch roles, with the follow becoming the anchor to practice rotation from both perspectives.</li>
|
||||
<li>If without a partner, try using a pole to simulate resistance and rotation around a fixed point.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain proper posture and leverage throughout the exercise to ensure safety and effectiveness.</li>
|
||||
<li>It's acceptable to rotate on one foot if you feel stable and supported during the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reset and start again if the rotation feels off to maintain the correct leverage feel.</li>
|

<li>The exercise builds on previous concepts from leverage exercises, using a two-hand hold for protection.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>

<li>Keep the feet in contact with the ground without lifting off.</li>
|
||||
<li>Balance weight in the entire foot, including the heel, to make fans easier.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start the movement from the center by twisting the head to generate foot twisting.</li>
|
||||
<li>Allow some scuffing noise as it indicates maintaining floor contact.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice fans in any direction, such as forward, back, or rotating around.</li>

|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Fans are a decorative movement added to the footwork in the Texas shuffle.</li>
|

<li>Avoid going too far onto the toe to prevent unnecessary effort and different movements.</li>
|
||||

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson focuses on practicing feet fans in the Texas shuffle, emphasizing keeping the feet grounded and using the center to generate movement.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Keep the feet in contact with the ground without lifting off.
|
||||
- Balance weight in the entire foot, including the heel, to make fans easier.
|
||||
- Start the movement from the center by twisting the head to generate foot twisting.
|
||||
- Allow some scuffing noise as it indicates maintaining floor contact.
|
||||
- Practice fans in any direction, such as forward, back, or rotating around.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Fans are a decorative movement added to the footwork in the Texas shuffle.
|
||||
- Avoid going too far onto the toe to prevent unnecessary effort and different movements.
|
||||
- The movement originates from the center, not just the feet, for better control.

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep your feet on the ground without lifting them too much.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lean or tilt your body in the direction you are moving.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain the movement small and underneath your body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Speed up the step to move on every single beat for variation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use appropriate shoes to avoid sticking and allow smooth shuffling sounds.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The skating step is a basic element you can always return to in Texas shuffle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on maintaining the sensation of skating, especially when traveling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid taking big steps to prevent getting worn out quickly.</li>
|
||||
<li>This step can be adapted for different shoe types but works best with smooth-soled shoes.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson introduces the skating step, a unique foundational movement in Texas shuffle that involves shifting side-to-side like skating to generate power for shuffling.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Keep your feet on the ground without lifting them too much.
|
||||
- Lean or tilt your body in the direction you are moving.
|
||||
- Maintain the movement small and underneath your body.
|
||||
- Speed up the step to move on every single beat for variation.
|
||||
- Use appropriate shoes to avoid sticking and allow smooth shuffling sounds.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- The skating step is a basic element you can always return to in Texas shuffle.
|
||||
- Focus on maintaining the sensation of skating, especially when traveling.
|
||||
- Avoid taking big steps to prevent getting worn out quickly.
|
||||
- This step can be adapted for different shoe types but works best with smooth-soled shoes.

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on creating and using leverage in dance, emphasizing maintaining opposite energy between partners to move together precisely.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Wrap your left hand around your partner's triceps to ensure no gaps and keep your shoulder relaxed and elbow low.</li>
|
||||
<li>Aim for your partner's higher back as a leader to avoid soft spots and provide a firmer connection for leverage.</li>
|
||||
<li>Roll your shoulders back and down to avoid popping them up, maintaining mobility and preventing tension.</li>
|
||||
<li>Engage your upper triceps and thighs by keeping your arm bent to support leverage movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play a leverage guessing game with your partner to practice feeling and adjusting the amount of leverage used.</li>
|
||||
<li>In closed position, focus on feeling the leverage through your partner's back hand and adjust your engagement accordingly.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leverage is created when two bodies' energies move away from each other, maintaining a slight stretch or opposite energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use just enough leverage to move together precisely without overdoing it, as too much can look awkward or cause imbalance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid letting your shoulders pop up or tense, as this can lead to discomfort and limit mobility during movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>The connection should be firm but relaxed, with no empty spaces, to effectively transmit and feel leverage between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice sensing leverage through exercises to improve coordination and timing with your partner for future steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>If one partner lets go, the opposite energy should cause the other to step back, illustrating the principle of leverage in action.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Pass By' move in Texas Shuffle, focusing on using leverage and maintaining a slot to let the partner pass smoothly.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leads should open and close like a door to let the partner pass without pulling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep engagement by getting lower to break the line, not by raising arms or straightening out.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should slide their feet instead of lifting them to maintain the dance's characteristic feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reestablish leverage after the pass by sending hips back to rebuild energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the move in a slot without moving around the room to maintain control.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use leverage from previous exercises to move together without generating new energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid letting arms get out of socket or into a straight line position during the pass.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain constant foot contact with the floor to preserve the dance's feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>There's a moment of relaxation during the pass, but quickly rebuild leverage for the next move.</li>
|
||||
<li>The pass should be fluid, with opening and energy generation happening simultaneously.</li>
