## FOCUS
- This lesson explores using swing in solo movements to transition smoothly between moves, specifically between the basic step and the fishtail, with application to partner dancing.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Start the fishtail a little sooner, such as on count six when open, to merge moves fluidly.
- Maintain continuous swing by curving its edges into a figure-of-eight shape without stopping.
- In partnered dancing, use body turns in closed position to signal transitions through connection.
- Practice transitioning from basic to fishtail by letting the end of one move become the beginning of the next.
##REMEMBER
- The swing should never stop; only change direction or shape to create smooth transitions.
- Preparation is key to merging moves so they feel connected rather than separate.
- Maintaining swinging momentum makes movements flow together logically and aids partner communication.
- This technique applies to other solo moves beyond the fishtail for versatile dancing.

</div>
</div>
## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on combining swing in solo body movement and partnership to create seamless transitions between outside turns, inside turns, send-outs, and fishtails.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Keep hands low during fishtails to maintain connection and swing.
- Maintain hand slow and connected to your body when transitioning from a turn into a fishtail.
- Stop the fishtail rotation to lead a send-out, maintaining the swing without finishing the rotation.
- Use stepping every beat for faster turns, integrating fishtails smoothly.
- Let the fishtail become the first step of a turn for followers to ensure fluidity.
##REMEMBER
- Swing is essential for creating seamless transitions between moves, enhancing both solo and partner dynamics.
- Fishtails can be inserted flexibly between turns and send-outs, lasting as long as desired for smooth flow.
- Connection and swing allow for natural openings that facilitate transitions without forced movements.
- Leaders can control transitions by managing rotation and connection points, such as stopping fishtail rotation to initiate a send-out.

</div>
</div>
## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on the Flow Exercise to develop and maintain swing and flow in the body during dancing, with leaders reading and redirecting their partner's swing without interruption.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Followers start solo with a simple step touch pattern like a basic or fishtail, including turns.
- Leaders establish connection, read the partner's swing, and lead moves such as turns without stopping the swing.
- Leaders use their own swing to assist in leading moves out of the partner's swing.
- Followers can speed up and do moves on every beat as they progress, with hands at an available height for connection.
- Followers should avoid turning with arms in strange places to help leaders connect easily.
##REMEMBER
- Maintain flow and swing throughout dancing without interruption when connecting with a partner.
- Leaders should read and use the partner's swing to create moves, letting the flow finish before redirecting.
- Followers should dance with accessible hand positions to facilitate leader connection.
- The exercise challenges both partners to adapt to faster movements while preserving flow.
- Understanding and utilizing the partner's body flow is key to creating seamless dance moves.

</div>
</div>
## FOCUS
- This lesson explains the concept of 'swing' in dance, focusing on creating a soft, pendulum-like side-to-side motion from the hips and spine to add a grounded, relaxed energy to movements.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Stand with feet slightly wider than hip width, relaxed and comfortable.
- Imagine hips as a heavy ball at the end of a rope (spine) and swing it side-to-side from the sternum area.
- Initiate the swing from higher up in the body, keeping the spine long and avoiding hip isolation.
- Incorporate swing into the basic step by allowing hips to continue the momentum naturally without forcing or adding extra bumps.
- Practice in front of a mirror to observe the difference between movements with and without swing.
##REMEMBER
- Swing is a soft, pendulum-like energy that moves side-to-side, not an isolation driven by muscles.
- It softens movements, giving a grounded aesthetic rather than a bouncy or sharp look.
- The swing should feel relaxed and natural, initiated from the upper body to avoid forcing the hips.
- This concept will be used throughout the course to enhance dance movements with a flowing energy.

</div>
</div>
## FOCUS
- This lesson teaches how to incorporate swing into partner dancing using three moves: outside turn, inside turn, and send out, to enhance flow and natural movement.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Use the last swing of the basic as preparation for turns by opening the body slightly.
- In turns, pivot on the foot during the collect to maintain continuous motion rather than stopping.
- For the send out, let the follower pass slightly to connect hands and redirect the swing smoothly.
- Keep hands low during the send out to guide without pushing, using the connection to signal rotation.
- Practice with a slow two-count basic to focus on maintaining the swing throughout the sequence.
##REMEMBER
- Swing adds fluidity and natural feel to moves, making them easier and more enjoyable.
- Exaggerate the swing at the end of turns to absorb energy for redirection into the next move.
- Maintain the swing even when travelling, though it may be smaller, to keep the flow consistent.
- The connection in the arms guides direction and timing, especially in turns and send outs.
- Master this sequence before advancing, as it applies to all moves in the course.

</div>
</div>
## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on using swing at the end of moves to absorb momentum and redirect energy, applying it to outside turns, inside turns, and send outs with increased speed.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Add energy from the whole body, not just the arms, to signal faster stepping.
- Use the swing at the end of an outside turn to help initiate the inside turn.
- For followers, the footwork is three steps and a collect during turns.
- Leaders should gather the swing and put more energy into the first step forward.
- Practice the moves with a consistent pattern of step, step, swing or step, step, step, collect.
##REMEMBER
- Swing is used to absorb and redirect energy for smoother transitions between moves.

</div>
</div>
## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on redirecting energy sooner between moves in swing dancing, using three example moves with different timing to make the swing last less than before.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Redirect the swing a little sooner rather than letting it finish fully.
- Maintain the frame in the right arm to handle stretch during redirection.
- Engage the big muscle at the back to keep the shoulder down and respond with the whole body.
- Leaders should avoid getting too close to their partner to prevent pulling during redirection.
- Practice stepping every beat without collecting on the redirect.
##REMEMBER
- Redirection comes from the center of the body, not from pulling the arm sooner.
- A tiny stretch during redirection helps communicate the change in direction to followers.
- The technique should feel smooth and dynamic, not rough, by using swing in the leader's own body.

## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on practicing communication in swing dance through three moves, two speeds, and two redirection methods, with the goal of enhancing leaders' and followers' ability to convey and respond to tempo and energy changes.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Try a slow turn with a quick redirection to practice timing variations.
- Use a collect, full swing, or shorter swing for redirection options.
- Maintain body action rather than arm tension to communicate speed changes.
- Experiment without the swing to feel the difference in communication.
- Avoid leaning and follow through with body movement.
- Choose between outside turn, inside turn, or send outs for moves.
##REMEMBER
- Followers should listen to tempo cues and respond to changes in the leader's body energy.
- Leaders must communicate both move speeds and the timing of redirection clearly.
- Avoid default habits and stay free to play with different swing and redirection styles.
- Redirection can vary in speed, such as full or faster swings.
- Focus on body action for effective communication, not just arm movements.
- Practice with music to apply techniques in a rhythmic context.

## FOCUS
- This lesson focuses on using swing in dance to add dynamics and speed up moves more easily, specifically practicing with an inside turn to demonstrate how swing facilitates smoother redirection and faster execution.
## TIP & TRICKS:
- Maintain swing in the hips during the outside turn to keep energy in the body.
- Use a triple rhythm for redirection, such as 'one and two', without jumping.
- Roll your feet and keep them connected to the floor during turns.
- Leaders should redirect existing swing energy rather than creating new energy.
- Practice with different outside turn speeds, like slow or stepping every beat.
- Try redirecting earlier for a faster inside turn while keeping it smooth.
##REMEMBER
- Swing helps communication and makes adding dynamics easier without stress.
- The energy from swing in the hips allows for effortless redirection into faster moves.
- Focus on maintaining the same motion and rhythm even when speeding up.
- Incorporate swing into all parts of your dancing to enhance dynamics.
