<p>COURSE: Basic Turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches free turns in dance, focusing on executing outside and inside turns without hand connections, and how to seamlessly reconnect afterwards.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders lead free outside turns without lifting the left hand and let go as the follower starts rotating.</li>
<li>Followers maintain the pathway set by the leader by looking in the direction of travel and keeping posture slightly forward.</li>
<li>Keep arms at an available height during free turns to allow for easy reconnection with the partner.</li>
<li>For free inside turns, leaders step back to initiate the turn, relying on existing body rotation in the follower.</li>
<li>Ensure rotation is present in the body before leading a free inside turn to avoid walking straight forward.</li>
<li>Practice transitioning from a slow outside turn into a free inside turn without stopping.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Free turns involve letting go of hand connections while maintaining body rotation and momentum.</li>
<li>Communication through body positioning and eye direction helps maintain alignment during turns.</li>
<li>Arm placement is crucial for seamless reconnection after a free turn.</li>
<li>Leaders should focus on stepping and body movement rather than pulling to lead free turns effectively.</li>
<li>Followers must keep their pulse and posture to avoid imbalance during rotation.</li>
<li>Free turns allow for creative variations and smooth integration into dance sequences.</li>

<p>COURSE: Basic Turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson recaps basic turns by combining them into a short routine, focusing on smooth transitions between moves like outside turns, free turns, inside turns, and leader's turns.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Ensure the outside turn has the follower travel further to create distance for the free turn.</li>
<li>Leaders should lift hands early during transitions to signal upcoming moves.</li>
<li>Turn your body early and obviously to guide the partner into side-by-side position.</li>
<li>Maintain arm position after a turn to provide space for the follower's next move.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Transitions are key; practice moving smoothly between turns to maintain flow.</li>

<p>COURSE: Basic Turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the inside turn in dance, focusing on proper technique for leaders and followers to execute the turn smoothly and return to close position.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should prepare by lifting the left hand and turning the body slightly to signal the turn.</li>
<li>Followers should keep the right arm relaxed to allow it to cut across the body naturally during the turn.</li>
<li>Use a 'magic button' signal by placing the hand on the partner's back to indicate returning to close position.</li>
<li>Maintain distance as a leader to allow the follower to lift the elbow and slide back into connection.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The turn takes eight counts to complete, so keep the basic steps slow and controlled.</li>
<li>Followers should look at the inside of their elbow during the turn to maintain orientation.</li>
<li>Traveling a bit during the turn is normal and should not be forced.</li>
<li>Clear body positioning and hand signals help communicate the move effectively between partners.</li>

<p>COURSE: Basic Turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches two versions of an outside turn using a two-count basic, focusing on technique and timing for both leaders and followers.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should lift their left arm to create a doorway for followers to turn through.</li>
<li>Followers should keep shoulders relaxed and ensure they can see the inside of their elbow during turns.</li>
<li>Leaders prepare the turn by opening their body and lifting hands slightly at the end of the fourth basic.</li>
<li>For the second version, leaders lead with a wider hand position to signal traveling away into an open connection.</li>
<li>Followers should take four basics (eight counts) for the slow turn and three basics (six counts) for the traveling turn.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The turn speed is controlled by the leader, so followers should not rush and enjoy the moment.</li>
<li>Maintain a relaxed connection to protect shoulders and follow the leader's signals accurately.</li>
<li>At the end of the turn, leaders should drop their hands to avoid wrapping up the connection.</li>
<li>The preparation involves body rotation, which followers feel as a signal for the turn direction.</li>

<p>COURSE: Basic Turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on performing the basic outside turn faster by stepping every beat, building on previous knowledge to increase speed and energy while maintaining control.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Step every beat for three counts, then touch or collect on the fourth count.</li>
<li>Leaders should use their whole body to communicate energy, not just arms, to guide the follower.</li>
<li>Followers should feel the directional energy from the lead and travel slightly during the turn.</li>
<li>At the end of the turn, end in a more open position rather than coming back around in front.</li>
<li>Practice transitioning back to basics slowly after the turn to chill out and reset.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The turn involves a change in rhythm from stepping every two beats to every beat, with a clear pulse shift in the leader's body.</li>
<li>Energy for faster movement comes from the entire body engaging, similar to speeding up when in a rush, but avoid excessive force.</li>
<li>Communication in the turn is through guiding, not pushing, using both sides of the body to signal direction.</li>

<p>COURSE: Introduction to Blues</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on linking different connections seamlessly in blues dance, specifically transitioning between open position, closed position, and closed embrace within one dance.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders offer the hand to initiate connections, while followers accept and create the connection once the leader's arm is in place.</li>
<li>To transition into closed position, step toward your partner with the basic and meet in the middle to make the connection together.</li>
<li>When going from closed embrace to side by side, the hand doesn't slide; it's simply a change in body angle that followers should feel and follow.</li>
<li>To go back into open position, simply move away a little further from each other, maintaining a smooth flow.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Transitions between positions should be seamless and intuitive, allowing for fluid movement throughout the dance.</li>
<li>Followers should pay attention to subtle changes in body angle from the leader to guide their movements and maintain connection.</li>
<li>Practice linking the two count basic and walk in all different positions to enhance versatility and comfort in blues dancing.</li>
<li>The goal is to use both basic steps and walks cohesively, enabling dynamic and expressive dancing without interruption.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: Introduction to Blues</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on developing the skills of leading and following in blues dance, using a shared pulse from the music to establish clear communication between partners.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Generate a pulse from the music to establish a shared language with your partner.</li>
<li>Leaders should use their entire body, not just their feet, to give clear information to followers.</li>
<li>Followers should look at the leader's upper body to sense movement and pulse, not at their feet.</li>
<li>Always assume the slowest speed as a follower to avoid stepping before the leader leads a change.</li>
<li>Maintain a constant distance between bodies when traveling to keep connection smooth.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Both partners need to find a compromise in pulse that fits each other and the music for effective communication.</li>
<li>The leader's body leads the follower's body, emphasizing whole-body movement in the dance.</li>
<li>Leaders must be clear when changing speeds or energy, especially transitioning between basics and walks.</li>
<li>Avoid rushing the music; stay connected to the ground and breathe to maintain a relaxed pace.</li>
<li>Focus on doing your own role well without worrying about your partner, as clarity and timing are key.</li>

<li>Keep arms relaxed but hands in a set shape to maintain connection.</li>
<li>Assume the slowest step option as a follower until feeling the leader's speed change.</li>
<li>Practice with eyes closed to enhance sensitivity to the leader's weight shifts.</li>
<li>Leaders should maintain a constant pulse and clear redirection for followers.</li>
<li>Use the connection like a phone line, keeping it free and relaxed for communication.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson covers the closed position in Blues dancing, focusing on proper hand and arm placement for leaders and followers to achieve optimal connection and comfort.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should place their right hand just below the follower's left shoulder blade, avoiding the spine and extremes of height.</li>
<li>Followers should drop their arms relaxed, fold the left arm with the wrist at the leader's elbow level, and wrap the hand gently for connection.</li>
<li>Maintain a distance where a third person could fit between partners to avoid being too close or far.</li>
<li>Practice with eyes closed to improve connection and avoid anticipating movements.</li>
<li>Keep hands in a natural wrist line to prevent pain and ensure a relaxed shape.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The arms aid communication but should not be used to pull or push; the body leads the movement.</li>
<li>Avoid clinging or rushing; maintain a gentle, balanced posture for better connection.</li>
<li>Connection should allow movement in all directions without discomfort or trapping.</li>
<li>Focus on lazy, relaxed dancing to enhance flow and reduce strain.</li>

<p>COURSE: Side By Side</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the side-by-side variation of changing directions in dance, starting from a closed position and focusing on body turns and shuffling to change direction smoothly.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should turn their body slightly and face the partner to signal direction changes without pushing with the arm.</li>
<li>Maintain a nice and close position with the hand on the opposite side of the follower to avoid being too far apart.</li>
<li>When opening into side-by-side, form a nice open V position and keep weight slightly forwards to facilitate easier traveling.</li>
<li>Practice with a two-count basic step underneath the body while rotating to change directions.</li>
<li>To reconnect into closed position, turn again but not completely and place the hand on the follower's left side.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Changing direction involves turning on the spot or traveling, with options to combine both for variation.</li>
<li>Leaders should use body movement rather than arm pressure to signal turns, releasing the follower to indicate direction changes.</li>
<li>Maintain forward weight to prevent rock steps and make traveling forwards and backwards smoother.</li>
<li>The side-by-side variation can be done in place or with traveling, allowing for improvisation and multiple repetitions as desired.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: Side By Side</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the side-by-side triple step variation, focusing on executing a smooth triple step after a preparatory forward movement with a sinking motion.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with three steps forward, then sink slightly on the third step to prepare for the triple step.</li>
<li>Imagine a wave motion: go down and down, then step to execute the triple step smoothly.</li>
<li>Roll the weight into the back foot during the sinking phase to maintain control and avoid jumping.</li>
<li>Keep the upper body forward and look down as if seeing a creature on the floor to prevent throwing the body back.</li>
<li>For leaders, differentiate the triple step from a slide by sinking into the ground like a wave instead of a diagonal jump.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The triple step involves a sinking preparation after three forward steps, contrasting with the slide's diagonal jump.</li>
<li>Maintain connection to the floor throughout the movement to avoid jumping and ensure control over timing.</li>
<li>Followers should match the leader's sinking motion to synchronize the triple step effectively.</li>
<li>Use the imagery of a wave or an unidentifiable creature to guide the body's motion and posture during the step.</li>
