<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>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>

<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>

<p>COURSE: Latin Blues Volume 1</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson builds on cross-steps for both leaders and followers, focusing on executing cross-steps together with proper connection and body movement, and introduces an inside turn exit.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders keep arms in the same shape and relationship to the body without releasing or pushing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rotate the body a little bit sooner on the last quick for fluid movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Step with feet angled to track your partner, not directly to the side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use body shaping, such as focusing on hips or adding delay to the upper body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Generate an inside turn with quick, quick, slow timing after crossing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice cross-steps in a row with slow, quick, quick timing.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain connection by moving arms with the body as it shifts to the side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Early body rotation prepares for direction changes and enhances fluidity.</li>
|
||||
<li>Tracking your partner with foot angles ensures better connection and alignment.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate body styling to avoid rigid movements and enhance dance expression.</li>
|
||||
<li>The cross-step sequence leads into a simple turn for a smooth exit.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson builds on cross-steps for both leaders and followers, focusing on executing cross-steps together with proper connection and body movement, and introduces an inside turn exit.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Leaders keep arms in the same shape and relationship to the body without releasing or pushing.
|
||||
- Rotate the body a little bit sooner on the last quick for fluid movement.
|
||||
- Step with feet angled to track your partner, not directly to the side.
|
||||
- Use body shaping, such as focusing on hips or adding delay to the upper body.
|
||||
- Generate an inside turn with quick, quick, slow timing after crossing.
|
||||
- Practice cross-steps in a row with slow, quick, quick timing.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Maintain connection by moving arms with the body as it shifts to the side.
|
||||
- Early body rotation prepares for direction changes and enhances fluidity.
|
||||
- Tracking your partner with foot angles ensures better connection and alignment.
|
||||
- Incorporate body styling to avoid rigid movements and enhance dance expression.
|
||||
- The cross-step sequence leads into a simple turn for a smooth exit.
|
||||
- Focus on timing and coordination between partners for synchronized steps.

<p>COURSE: Latin Blues Volume 1</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson continues cross step variations with a new exit involving a turn for both partners, focusing on transitioning smoothly into and out of the cross step sequence.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start in closed position and use slow, quick, quick timing for the cross step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Generate rotation during the turn by keeping hands slow and looking in the direction of the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reconnect arms after the turn to smoothly transition back into the cross step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the inside turn from a previous class as an exit to avoid getting stuck in the sequence.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Head movement should lead the turn to improve reconnection and spatial awareness.</li>
|
||||
<li>The slow step can serve as the first step of the next cross step for continuity.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the sequence with music to integrate timing and flow.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
