<p>COURSE: Stretch and Frame</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson explains the concept of frame in blues dancing, focusing on how the arms and shoulders connect to the body to facilitate partner communication and movement.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Roll the shoulders back and down to connect the arms to the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine the big back muscles melting down to keep shoulders down without tensing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep shoulders drawn down even when lifting arms, such as during turns.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reconnect shoulders if they disconnect, especially when arms move forward or to the side.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Frame is the connection of arms and shoulders to the body, not just the arm shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintaining frame allows information from your partner to flow into your body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Both leaders and followers must consider frame constantly, especially in complex moves.</li>
|
||||
<li>Frame will be reinforced throughout the course in various dance situations like turns.</li>

||||

<p>COURSE: Stretch and Frame</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces the concept of stretch in partner dancing, using elastic bands as a demonstration tool to show how two bodies move away from each other to add dynamics without pulling.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use a scale of zero to five to measure stretch intensity, starting relaxed at zero and increasing as you move apart.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain your frame to control the stretch and avoid losing connection with your arms to your body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine elastic attached belly button to belly button to focus the stretch through the center rather than just the arms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice without elastic bands by maintaining a good palm-to-palm connection and the same feeling in the arms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Wait for a specific stretch level (e.g., one, two, three) before moving to develop sensitivity and reaction.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid pulling; instead, let the arms be part of the elastic band and relax them to allow natural stretch.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Stretch is about two bodies moving away from each other, not increasing muscle tone or pulling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use stretch to add dynamics, spice, or flavor to dancing, with different levels for musical or dramatic effects.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep shoulders down and frame connected to ensure the stretch is controlled and effective.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start each movement at zero stretch to avoid accidentally maintaining tension in the arms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Everyone has a different preference for stretch levels, so experiment to find what feels good.</li>
|
||||
<li>The stretch should come from the center of the body, not just the arms, for proper technique.</li>

<p>COURSE: Stretch and Frame</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding dynamics and speeding up movements using stretch, building on previous exercises to enhance connection and communication between partners.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with zero stretch and a nice frame, then gradually increase speed while maintaining connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should move their body backwards faster without pulling the partner to create stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers must maintain their frame to respond to increased speed and stretch effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with different moves, including stepping every beat and faster versions to apply dynamics.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a scale of stretch (e.g., from 2 to 2.5) to gauge and adjust the intensity of movements.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Stretch increases with speed, and maintaining frame is crucial for partners to communicate and respond.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders communicate through their center and arms, propelling the follower's movement without force.</li>
|
||||
<li>The follower's reaction to stretch should be quick and connected, driven by the leader's movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Dynamics can be practiced in various moves to enhance overall dance flow and partnership.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start relaxed and adjust stretch levels based on space and comfort to build control and responsiveness.</li>

<p>COURSE: Stretch and Frame</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on using the pass-by move to demonstrate how to apply stretch and frame in dance, with variations including inside and outside turns to practice these concepts.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a distance from your partner to avoid pulling and create proper stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Open your body on step three to build stretch, keeping shoulders down and arms aligned with your center.</li>
|
||||
<li>For inside turns, keep your shoulder down when your arm is raised to maintain connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>For outside turns, bring your arm closer to your body on step three to initiate the turn without pulling.</li>
|
||||
<li>During turns, always keep your elbows visible in your peripheral vision to maintain frame.</li>
|
||||
<li>Increase energy on step three to add dynamics, then release on step four for fluid movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Stretch is built and released in coordination with body movement, not by pulling on your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Frame involves keeping shoulders down and arms connected to your body center for stability.</li>
|
||||
<li>Proper distance between partners is crucial to avoid excessive tension and allow natural stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>In turns, maintain frame by ensuring elbows do not go behind you, keeping them in sight.</li>
|
||||
<li>Dynamics can be added by speeding up movements, particularly on step three to enhance stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice variations like inside and outside turns to apply stretch and frame principles in different contexts.</li>

<p>COURSE: Stretch and Frame</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a pass-by move on the leader's right side, focusing on stretch, frame, and turns to create smooth movement and direction.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Build stretch on step one and increase it between steps two and three for earlier timing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders step forward and face the partner on steps one, two, three to initiate body turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>On the release, drop the hand to create a turn, maintaining frame to guide direction.</li>
|
||||
<li>For a free outside turn, release between steps three and four to allow follower rotation without pushing.</li>
|
||||
<li>In a connected outside turn, maintain hand connection and raise the arm to guide the turn without extra energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers step under the body while turning to stay balanced and avoid traveling too much.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The stretch creates movement, while the frame decides the direction of the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain frame by keeping the shoulder down and elbow in peripheral vision to ensure proper body alignment.</li>
|
||||
<li>Increase stretch energy slightly between steps two and three for dynamics, but stay relaxed to avoid pulling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should track the leader's position during turns to be ready to reconnect smoothly.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders guide turns by releasing or maintaining connection, not by pushing, to keep the move fluid.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice both simple and dynamic versions to add rhythm and energy to the pass-by move.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>For leaders, create space when leading outside turns to avoid elbowing your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>On count three, communicate a slight increase in stretch to signal movement changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Let your hands move naturally during turns rather than keeping them rigid.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should maintain shoulder down and frame throughout rotations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should substitute the right arm for previous connections while keeping technique identical.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The shake hand connection requires the same fundamental techniques as previous connections.</li>
|

<li>Maintain the frame by keeping the shoulder connected and avoiding pulling or letting the arm pop out.</li>
|
||||
<li>For outside turns, keep the arm within peripheral vision and the shoulder down and relaxed.</li>
|
||||
<li>For inside turns, ensure the arm comes up in front and crosses over to bring the body around.</li>
|
||||
<li>After three, steps should be on the spot and follow the partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Build extra energy by exaggerating the stretch on two for faster speeds.</li>

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Mirror everything, with followers starting weight on the right and leaders on the left.</li>
|
||||
<li>The important moment is between two and three, where stretch and opening happen simultaneously.</li>
|
||||
<li>After three, there is no stretch, and arms should be relaxed to protect the shoulder.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice moves include pass-by, free turn, outside turn, and inside turn on this side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Mix and match speeds with music for varied practice.</li>
