<p>COURSE: top-tips</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on achieving optimal connection in closed position dance, specifically for leaders and followers, to enable smooth leading and following without tension.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should place their right hand below the partner's shoulder blade, following the curve of the back.</li>
<li>Keep elbows slightly in front to create space and avoid awkwardness.</li>
<li>Maintain shoulders down and back to prevent disconnection from the body.</li>
<li>Followers should keep arms relaxed and fold them up to connect along the leader's arm.</li>
<li>Tuck the hand around to deepen connection points during movement.</li>
<li>Practice traveling around the room to feel the connection in all directions.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Connection relies on surface area contact, not extra tension in the arms.</li>
<li>This technique is applicable across dances like Lindy Hop and Balboa.</li>
<li>A relaxed posture enhances leading and following without strain.</li>
<li>Consistent hand and elbow positioning ensures effective communication between partners.</li>
<li>The method has been refined over years and remains unchanged for its effectiveness.</li>
<li>Focus on creating a deep connection point that adapts to movement directions.</li>

<p>COURSE: top-tips</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson provides top tips for leaders and followers on how to smoothly reconnect after a turn in open dance positions, focusing on connection types, timing, and body mechanics.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should reconnect as soon as possible after a turn by identifying the desired connection type, such as close embrace or side-by-side.</li>
<li>Followers should use their head and shoulders to lead the turn, creating a spiral for more space and time to reconnect.</li>
<li>For height differences, followers can use the 'tulip' technique by sending the arm up with the elbow down and dropping it over the other side.</li>
<li>Leaders should connect early to signal readiness, allowing followers to prepare their arm for reconnection.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Understanding the desired connection type helps leaders plan reconnection after a turn.</li>
<li>Early connection from leaders is crucial for followers to anticipate and prepare for reconnection.</li>
<li>Body mechanics, like leading with the head, prevent trapped situations and facilitate smoother transitions.</li>

<li>Think of a beat as a period of time, not just a point, to better understand the space available for movement.</li>
<li>Practice dancing on top of the beats and then switch to dancing in between them to visually see the difference.</li>
<li>Use a medium slow song to clearly observe and practice the contrast between on-beat and between-beat dancing.</li>
<li>Fill the space between beats with your movement, as this is where the expressive 'party' happens in dance.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Avoid fixating solely on the beats themselves; instead, focus on the intervals between them for more dynamic dancing.</li>
<li>Dancing between the beats allows for greater musical expression and fluidity in your movements.</li>
<li>Consider beats as durations (e.g., one second at 60 BPM) to better plan and execute movements within that time.</li>
<li>This technique helps in adapting to different song tempos and enhancing overall dance creativity.</li>

## FOCUS
- This lesson provides top tips for effectively using hands and arms during dance turns, focusing on maintaining connection and preventing injury.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Let hands move naturally to a comfortable position while maintaining connection during turns.
- Leaders should ensure the follower's hand is always in front of their forehead during turns.
- Relax arms after initiating a turn to avoid over-leading.
- Followers should always see the inside of their elbow to keep arms in the right place.
- Imagine the shoulder blade going down as the arm goes up to avoid lifting the shoulder.
- Look into the direction of the turn to maintain balance and awareness.
##REMEMBER
- Keep arms totally relaxed to prevent injury and ensure smooth movement.
- Maintain visual connection with the inside of your elbow to avoid arm misplacement.
- Think of the shoulder joint as a wheel to promote proper arm mechanics.
- Avoid looking at the floor or in the wrong direction to prevent imbalance.
- Let hands dance naturally to enhance connection and flow during turns.
