<p>COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces the contra-body movement, focusing on adding a relaxed swing in the upper body with opposition while walking to use the whole body.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Swing the upper body from side to side with a pulse to avoid flat movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the movement internal and controlled, with minimal hip movement and a slight twist in the center.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure arms move only as connected to the spine, not independently.</li>
|
||||
<li>When tapping a foot forward or back, align the opposite side of the body in opposition.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep legs on a straight line to prevent opening up too much, especially when tapping back.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine having no muscles to maintain a soft, relaxed swing without tension.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Contra-body movement involves opposition between upper and lower body for a flowing swing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Movement should originate from the center, with arms naturally following the spine.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain relaxation and avoid engaging muscles to keep the action soft and fluid.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the skeleton's swing to prevent tension and enhance body connection.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing contrabody walks with three steps and a tap, emphasizing travel and direction changes to build comfort and natural movement.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on the right, step left first, and face left for the initial direction.</li>
|
||||
<li>When tapping, add a swing from the center instead of keeping the body straight.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice starting with weight on the left leg, stepping right first for variation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Repeat the sequence many times until it feels automatic, especially the direction changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Film yourself to review and improve your form during practice.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The tap movement should originate from the center for better body shape and flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Changing direction smoothly is crucial, especially when dancing with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Comfort and natural execution are key goals, achieved through repetition.</li>
|
||||
<li>This technique helps followers anticipate direction changes in partner dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Consistent practice builds muscle memory for effortless performance.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Use taps to maintain swing without changing weight.</li>

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain the contra-body swing at all times during improvisation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Improvise freely around the space with both legs and directions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the pulse consistent to avoid stopping the swing.</li>

<li>Start with weight on the left foot for all participants.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the arm connected to the body and avoid isolating movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should maintain a relaxed upper body to allow a soft, swinging action.</li>

<li>Leaders should use a swing in the hip area to signal direction changes.</li>

<li>Practice traveling forwards and backwards or staying in place with taps.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Contra-body movement should be generated from relaxation, not muscular tension, to avoid blocking your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use your whole body, not just isolated legs, to signal changes in direction for better partner connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a soft and squishy spine and torso to support both close embrace and swinging actions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on keeping the embrace close while allowing the contra-body to flow smoothly during practice.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson builds on a previous drill by adding more rotation, focusing on followers performing a half turn with 180-degree rotation while traveling on a single line.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Rotate more on the third step instead of just facing the side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Release on the same line after the twist to maintain direction.</li>
|
||||
<li>Step directly under the body when releasing from the twist.</li>

<li>Make the eighth step a very small step under the body.</li>

</ul></p>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>Exaggerate the rotation on the third step to turn towards the right.</li>
|

<p>COURSE: Contra-Body Adventure</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches leaders how to use contrabody to rotate and change directions, moving beyond linear movement, and introduces the elimination of the tap step for direction changes.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on the right and do three steps, rotating more on step three to face the right.</li>
|
||||
<li>On step four, release the right leg to align it with the left on the same line.</li>
|
||||
<li>Time the contrabody with body rotation first, then step on the beat, e.g., 'and one, and two, and three'.</li>
|
||||
<li>Face the direction before stepping on step three to align your spine and prepare early.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use small steps if space is limited, but adjust to bigger steps if you have more room.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reset on step eight by stepping to the side, taking your time to ensure proper alignment.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The tap step is no longer used from this video onward; it was only for changing direction on a line.</li>
|
||||
<li>Contrabody timing is crucial: body rotation precedes the step to generate early preparation, especially when dancing with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on your spine and facing direction to naturally guide your movement and watch where you're going.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with a slow song to build muscle memory until the movements become natural and effortless.</li>
|
||||
<li>Repeating the sequence four times should return you to the starting position, helping reinforce the rotation pattern.</li>

|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders start with weight on the right, followers on the left, and begin the rotation in a specific direction.</li>
|
||||
<li>On step three, ensure feet stay close and step on the same line to maintain contra-body rotation.</li>
|

<li>Check head movement by maintaining upright posture with shoulders rolled back to avoid hitting your partner.</li>
|

<li>Film yourself to visually assess whether you are correctly executing the steps and maintaining the line.</li>

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>Avoid stepping out of the line on step three to preserve the contra-body twist and achieve the correct rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Head movement is optional and depends on posture and partner height; adjust if it causes discomfort or contact.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a close connection between feet, especially on step three, to facilitate smooth unwinding of the rotation.</li>

|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing a contra-body movement with a 90-degree rotation, specifically twisting on step four and releasing to transition, building on previous drills.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Twist on step four to add extra rotation to the contra body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Release on step five to transition onto the right foot and face the side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Take four steps forward with contra body before twisting.</li>
|
||||
<li>Perform back steps on six and seven to reset on eight.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the movement soft and swinging, not robotic.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure the body does not stop in the middle of the movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Pay attention to timing and the softness of upper body movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>The swinging action should feel fluid, not like going through motions mechanically.</li>
|
||||
<li>Step four is the slow one, but avoid stopping the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice repeatedly to build muscle memory and improve feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on maintaining a continuous, flowing motion throughout the drill.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
