<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation for the catch on the follower's left side, focusing on a similar beginning but a different ending where leaders turn their body and move away to link arms or transition to closed position.</p>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should turn their body slightly toward the follower's direction and move out of the way during the catch.</li>
|

<li>Followers should keep their arms at an available mid-height to easily link arms when the leader offers.</li>
|

<li>Practice the sequence slowly: step, step, step, and walk together to ensure smooth execution.</li>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches essential skills for catches in dance, focusing on technical details like body rotation, hand placement, and footwork to achieve a smooth parallelogram shape.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders rotate body clockwise and shuffle to create space for followers.</li>
|
||||
<li>Place hand on partner's right side, avoiding squishy bits for a solid connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain frame with shoulder down and back straight to keep connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Find balance in hand pressure: not too hard like a brick wall, not too soft like an autumn leaf.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers absorb weight by rolling through the foot on the third step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use rotational energy to maintain body alignment and deepen connection.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Focus on maintaining a relaxed but firm connection to guide without forcing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep feet aligned on a straight line to ensure proper balance and positioning.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid stepping too far to the side to maintain forward momentum for the follower.</li>
|
||||
<li>Match the leader's connection with responsive pressure from the follower.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice slow absorption of weight to enhance control and fluidity.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches essential skills for catches in dance, focusing on technical details like body rotation, hand placement, and footwork to achieve a smooth parallelogram shape.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Leaders rotate body clockwise and shuffle to create space for followers.
|
||||
- Place hand on partner's right side, avoiding squishy bits for a solid connection.
|
||||
- Maintain frame with shoulder down and back straight to keep connection.
|
||||
- Find balance in hand pressure: not too hard like a brick wall, not too soft like an autumn leaf.
|
||||
- Followers absorb weight by rolling through the foot on the third step.
|
||||
- Use rotational energy to maintain body alignment and deepen connection.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Focus on maintaining a relaxed but firm connection to guide without forcing.
|
||||
- Keep feet aligned on a straight line to ensure proper balance and positioning.
|
||||
- Avoid stepping too far to the side to maintain forward momentum for the follower.
|
||||
- Match the leader's connection with responsive pressure from the follower.
|
||||
- Practice slow absorption of weight to enhance control and fluidity.

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches multiple endings for catches in dance, focusing on options where leaders don't move out of the way and followers walk into their partner, including adding a lunge.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should connect on their partner's right side when coming back into close embrace.</li>
|
||||
<li>For the lunge, leaders should open up slightly, hinge forward, and keep the right leg straight with upper body toward the partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should maintain momentum from the turn and think of the lunge as a slight slide into the right leg, not pushing weight down all at once.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the lunge by slowly transferring weight, relaxing the pelvis, and absorbing into the ground before standing back up.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure arms are relaxed during movements to avoid pushing partners off balance.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain the momentum set up in the turn even after the turn stops.</li>
|
||||
<li>Timing is crucial for transitions, especially when adding the lunge at the end.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders initiate exits by transferring weight slowly and communicating changes to their partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should wait to feel what's happening next rather than preempting the move.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a basic lift in partner dancing, focusing on leaders lifting followers from a side-by-side position with proper technique and control.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders place their right leg behind the follower like a seat for leverage.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should push down with straight arms as if planking to assist the lift.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders lift using only the right leg while keeping weight on the left.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers land softly by rolling through the left foot to control the exit.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the lift on the spot before adding movement or kicks.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a strong frame with shoulder blades down to prevent injury.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Focus on up-and-down movement, not throwing weight backwards, to maintain balance and safety.</li>
|
||||
<li>Technique and control are more important than height or adding kicks.</li>
|
||||
<li>Both partners must actively engage their core muscles to support the lift.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders are responsible for positioning the follower correctly during the entry steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>A successful lift allows for a stable hold, indicating good technique for progression.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches a basic lift in partner dancing, focusing on leaders lifting followers from a side-by-side position with proper technique and control.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Leaders place their right leg behind the follower like a seat for leverage.
|
||||
- Followers should push down with straight arms as if planking to assist the lift.
|
||||
- Leaders lift using only the right leg while keeping weight on the left.
|
||||
- Followers land softly by rolling through the left foot to control the exit.
|
||||
- Practice the lift on the spot before adding movement or kicks.
|
||||
- Maintain a strong frame with shoulder blades down to prevent injury.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Focus on up-and-down movement, not throwing weight backwards, to maintain balance and safety.
|
||||
- Technique and control are more important than height or adding kicks.
|
||||
- Both partners must actively engage their core muscles to support the lift.
|
||||
- Leaders are responsible for positioning the follower correctly during the entry steps.
|
||||
- A successful lift allows for a stable hold, indicating good technique for progression.

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches the 'Shake-hand lean' move, focusing on a handshake connection, rotational preparation, and a controlled dip exit.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Leaders step forward to send followers back, creating rotation for the turn.
|
||||
- Followers shuffle through initially without worrying about steps to focus on the turn.
|
||||
- Leaders place the follower's hand on their shoulder during the turn for connection.
|
||||
- Both partners keep arms relaxed and soft to maintain a delicate connection.
|
||||
- Leaders take a big fifth step to the side to position the follower in the middle.
|
||||
- Followers delay their fifth step slightly after the leader's for better balance.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Rotate into the dip rather than going straight down for an easier exit.
|
||||
- Maintain rotational energy and flow throughout the move for a smoother feel.
|
||||
- Open the body to allow the follower to travel on a line during the turn.
|
||||
- Use two points of connection (hands and shoulder) to guide the follower's rotation.
|
||||
- Keep arms relaxed to avoid making the move difficult for the leader.
|
||||
- Exit by unwinding and reversing the steps in the same way as entry.

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a sequence combining a catch, spin, and lunge, focusing on leading and following techniques for smooth transitions and dynamic execution.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should guide followers with body movement, not arm pulling, to initiate spins without discomfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should keep feet facing the direction of travel during turns to maintain balance and ease spinning.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reconnect hands quickly after the spin to prepare for the lunge exit.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should give rotational energy for spins, not directional energy that moves followers off-center.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers can use the lunge to recover balance by falling onto leaders if needed.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the sequence slowly to master timing and connection before speeding up.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain arm availability at mid-waist height during turns for easy connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Spins rely on strong core engagement and looking into the turn to stay balanced.</li>
|
||||
<li>The lunge exit adds drama and can be used to mask balance issues if executed purposefully.</li>
|
||||
<li>Coordinate body movements with your partner to ensure smooth transitions without pulling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on foot alignment to enhance spinning efficiency and control.</li>
|
||||

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches a sequence combining a catch, spin, and lunge, focusing on leading and following techniques for smooth transitions and dynamic execution.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Leaders should guide followers with body movement, not arm pulling, to initiate spins without discomfort.
|
||||
- Followers should keep feet facing the direction of travel during turns to maintain balance and ease spinning.
|
||||
- Reconnect hands quickly after the spin to prepare for the lunge exit.
|
||||
- Leaders should give rotational energy for spins, not directional energy that moves followers off-center.
|
||||
- Followers can use the lunge to recover balance by falling onto leaders if needed.
|
||||
- Practice the sequence slowly to master timing and connection before speeding up.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Maintain arm availability at mid-waist height during turns for easy connection.
|
||||
- Spins rely on strong core engagement and looking into the turn to stay balanced.
|
||||
- The lunge exit adds drama and can be used to mask balance issues if executed purposefully.
|
||||
- Coordinate body movements with your partner to ensure smooth transitions without pulling.
|
||||
- Focus on foot alignment to enhance spinning efficiency and control.
|
||||
- Use musical timing to refine the sequence for a more dynamic and fluid performance.

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to transition from a turn into a lunge, focusing on body rotation, connection, and footwork to achieve a smooth close embrace.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders rotate their body slightly to prepare the follower without using arm pressure.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers step directly under their body during the turn to maintain alignment.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders reconnect hands as soon as they see the follower's back to control distance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the turn along a line on the floor to test alignment and consistency.</li>
|
||||
<li>On the fourth step, initiate the swing back to prepare for the lunge while entering close embrace.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use body movement, not arms, to lead rotation and maintain a parallelogram shape in preparation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Early connection helps leaders control the distance and travel together with followers during the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>The transition into close embrace and lunge should be smooth, with attention to arm placement and timing.</li>

## FOCUS
|
||||
- This lesson teaches how to transition from a turn into a lunge, focusing on body rotation, connection, and footwork to achieve a smooth close embrace.
|
||||
## TIP & TRICKS:
|
||||
- Leaders rotate their body slightly to prepare the follower without using arm pressure.
|
||||
- Followers step directly under their body during the turn to maintain alignment.
|
||||
- Leaders reconnect hands as soon as they see the follower's back to control distance.
|
||||
- Practice the turn along a line on the floor to test alignment and consistency.
|
||||
- On the fourth step, initiate the swing back to prepare for the lunge while entering close embrace.
|
||||
|
||||
##REMEMBER
|
||||
- Use body movement, not arms, to lead rotation and maintain a parallelogram shape in preparation.
|
||||
- Early connection helps leaders control the distance and travel together with followers during the turn.
|
||||
- The transition into close embrace and lunge should be smooth, with attention to arm placement and timing.
