## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson focuses on connecting movement from the feet to the chest, using breath to expand and contract the torso, and developing a subtle snake-like motion throughout the body.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Start moving from the feet into the legs and hips while breathing naturally.
|
||||
- Use the inhale to expand torso movement and the exhale to contract it.
|
||||
- Imagine unbuckling a belt around the belly to let movement travel to the ribcage.
|
||||
- Play with snakey motion from the ground up to the chest, keeping feet rolling.
|
||||
- Slow down movements to feel the ribcage's motion and make it very subtle.
|
||||
- Collect energy from under the feet and let it travel through legs, hips, to chest.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Maintain the feeling from feet to hips while focusing on chest movement.
|
||||
- Use breath to naturally guide expansion and contraction of the torso.
|
||||
- Let movement flow naturally without forcing, allowing it to travel upward.
|
||||
- Keep the body snake-like and connected from feet to chest.
|
||||
- Practice with minimal foot movement to enhance subtlety and energy flow.

||||
<li>A rhythm like habanera does not define a specific blues style; it can appear across different styles.</li>
|
||||
<li>Each song with Latin rhythms can vary in tempo and energy, requiring adaptation in dance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Latin rhythms in blues originated from Afro-Cuban influences, such as the habanera.</li>
|
||||
<li>The course will cover three main ways to dance to Latin blues music.</li>
|
||||
<li>Understanding the historical context helps appreciate the diversity in Latin blues dance.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson focuses on combining the Habanera rhythm with previously learned sequences, using an example with a turn and music to demonstrate integration.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Practice each sequence with the slow, quick, quick footwork before combining.
|
||||
- Ensure the Habanera rhythm feels comfortable in your feet for easier combination.
|
||||
- Start with the Habanera on the spot before moving into other sequences.
|
||||
- Try the movements along with the music as demonstrated.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Master individual sequences and the Habanera rhythm separately to make combining them super easy.
|
||||
- Trust in your practice of both elements to facilitate smooth integration.
|
||||
- Use the provided example with a turn as a guide for applying rhythm to sequences.

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Slow Quick Quick: Opposition' move in Latin Blues, focusing on how leaders can surprise followers by shifting into opposition and then reconnecting smoothly.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders start with weight on the right and do three steps: slow, quick, quick, then step, step, hold to maintain weight on the left.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders cheat by shifting back onto the right to surprise the follower and enter opposition.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers keep doing the same slow, quick, quick steps while adjusting body angle to track the leader.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a 'laser beam' concept on the chest to always face the leader for better connection and flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play with arm connections: release one hand, stay connected, or change hands as you move.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add noise or sounds to make the dance more enjoyable and expressive.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The follower's footwork does not change; only the body angle adjusts to maintain connection with the leader.</li>
|
||||
<li>Opposition is achieved by leaders shifting weight unexpectedly, creating a magical effect without disrupting the step pattern.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a slight body angle towards your partner for comfort and better arm connection during the move.</li>
|
||||
<li>Once in the groove, you can experiment with arm positions and connections to personalize the style.</li>
|

<li>This move is simple but effective, allowing for playful variations and added fun in dancing.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on applying the rumba rhythm to the shoulders, teaching how to control shoulder movements by drawing them down the back for better connection and rhythm precision.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Draw shoulders down the back instead of pulling them up to avoid tension and improve control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the rhythm in shoulders while standing still or shifting weight, then combine with foot steps for a two-part rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>When stepping, collect on the 'and' beat, not on the main beat, to maintain timing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Travel around the space by moving on the first step and experimenting with body shape and posture changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>If up-and-down movements feel excessive, try forward-and-back variations for comfort.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep shoulders connected to the body's center for enhanced control and rhythm accuracy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid lifting shoulders to prevent a tense neck and uncontrolled appearance.</li>
|
||||
<li>The rhythm can be practiced isolated in shoulders or integrated with footwork for versatility.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on sharp, precise movements that align with the music's rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with different directions and postures to adapt the shoulder rhythm to various dance contexts.</li>

- When stepping, collect on the 'and' beat, not on the main beat, to maintain timing.
|
||||
- Travel around the space by moving on the first step and experimenting with body shape and posture changes.
|
||||
- If up-and-down movements feel excessive, try forward-and-back variations for comfort.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Keep shoulders connected to the body's center for enhanced control and rhythm accuracy.
|
||||
- Avoid lifting shoulders to prevent a tense neck and uncontrolled appearance.
|
||||
- The rhythm can be practiced isolated in shoulders or integrated with footwork for versatility.
|
||||
- Focus on sharp, precise movements that align with the music's rhythm.
|
||||
- Experiment with different directions and postures to adapt the shoulder rhythm to various dance contexts.

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Step to the side while leaving the hip behind to create an asymmetric shape.</li>
|

<li>Keep weight slightly forward on the feet to achieve a diagonal body stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transition directly across when moving from one side to the other.</li>
|
||||
<li>When traveling forwards or backwards, swing hips back and sternum forward for added stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice in front of a mirror or film yourself to observe body shapes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure breathing is integrated into the movement for better flow.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Body shaping involves asymmetric stretches from hip to rib with a forward lean.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson focuses on adding body shaping to the Cinquillo rhythm by creating asymmetric stretches across the body, enhancing movement with diagonal and directional energy.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Step to the side while leaving the hip behind to create an asymmetric shape.
|
||||
- Keep weight slightly forward on the feet to achieve a diagonal body stretch.
|
||||
- Transition directly across when moving from one side to the other.
|
||||
- When traveling forwards or backwards, swing hips back and sternum forward for added stretch.
|
||||
- Practice in front of a mirror or film yourself to observe body shapes.
|
||||
- Ensure breathing is integrated into the movement for better flow.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Body shaping involves asymmetric stretches from hip to rib with a forward lean.
|
||||
- Directional energy adds forwards and backwards stretch alongside sideways movement.
|
||||
- The technique enhances groove and feeling in the dance through breath and body alignment.
|
||||
- Apply these principles when dancing with a partner for improved connection and expression.
