<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on communicating the difference between triple and single time steps in dance, with leaders choosing the rhythm and followers learning to feel body shifts.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should make clear weight shifts to signal rhythm changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should delay steps slightly to feel the leader's movements and avoid rushing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice in closed position and close embrace to feel body shape changes.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Body shape changes help followers detect rhythm transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers need to commit to steps after the leader for better following.</li>
|

<p>COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of the 'send out' move where the leader adds extra rotation to lead the follower into a turn, focusing on generating rotational energy and smooth reconnection.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders: Exaggerate the body opening at the end of the send out to create rotational energy for the follower's turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers: Keep steps under your body while rotating to avoid rushing back and maintain balance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders: Move or rotate slightly around the partner to adjust for space and ensure a smooth reconnection after the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers: Always look at the leader during the turn to understand their position and reconnect more smoothly.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice both versions of the send out (with and without rotation) to improve communication and recognition of the lead.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The key to leading the turn is in the preparation, where extra rotation before release generates the necessary energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should prioritize controlled, under-body steps over speed to maintain alignment and timing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders must be aware of the partner's proximity and adjust their body position dynamically for a seamless transition.</li>
|
||||
<li>This variation takes longer to complete, requiring four triples for the follower to return to partnership.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Use the rotation learned earlier to generate energy before initiating the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Release the connection during the turn to allow the follower to open out and continue rotating naturally.</li>
|
||||
<li>Raise the hand for decoration when releasing, but ensure it stays in front of the follower's face for safety.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the turn slowly on the spot, stepping under yourself to maintain balance without falling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reconnect at the end of the turn, similar to the inside turn or send out, with options for rotation or no rotation.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The turn is driven by rotational energy, not by the hand, which is only for decoration.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should feel the direction of travel from the rotation and let their body carry on when released.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders must keep the hand in front of the follower's forehead to avoid pulling it behind and ensure safety.</li>
|
||||
<li>If height differences make the hand connection uncomfortable, use the option without the arm for a free turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>The reconnection at the end can be done with or without rotation, allowing for flexibility in the dance.</li>

<p>COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces the Chicago Triple basic step, focusing on developing a down pulse in the body and incorporating a triple rhythm in the feet while maintaining proper body shape and alignment.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Imagine having a basketball to help feel the down pulse without rushing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax your knees and let muscles flop to avoid tension while dropping down.</li>
|
||||
<li>Roll your feet and absorb into the ground to make less noise and control steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep feet under your hip joints and avoid stepping out to the side or taking wide steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lean the upper body into the direction of the step to create an asymmetric body shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>When moving, ensure the first step is under your body to prevent traveling and maintain balance.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The pulse is a key element of the Chicago Triple, providing an into-the-ground feeling that should be maintained throughout.</li>
|
||||
<li>The triple rhythm in the feet should not be rushed; delay it slightly for better control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Body shape involves leaning into steps with a stretch from rib to hip, enhancing movement and stability.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on keeping steps under your body to make it easier to maintain shape and avoid unnecessary travel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Absorbing into the ground is important for partner work to prevent strong landings.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice on a line when going forward and back to avoid drifting left or right.</li>

<p>COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-i</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on improving movement quality in the basic step of Chicago triple by teaching body shaping through hip hinging and ensuring rhythm flows through the entire body.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Place fists together at the hip joints to locate them and turn them in place without moving arms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Step under yourself by aligning the ankle and foot directly underneath the hip joint.</li>
|
||||
<li>Hinge from the hip joint while keeping the spine straight, avoiding bending from the rib cage.</li>
|
||||
<li>Allow the rhythm from the feet to filter through the whole body, starting from the center.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep shoulders level by maintaining a straight spine for better partnering comfort.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Stack joints (hip, knee, ankle, toe) in alignment for balance and relaxation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Body shaping from the hips prevents discomfort and improves appearance in partnered dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>The entire body should dance as one, with rhythm originating from the center.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid creating a curved shape from the ribs to prevent muscle strain and shoulder movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on hinging from the hips and full-body rhythm integration for the next practice.</li>

|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should place their right hand below the follower's left shoulder blade, more on the side, with a straight wrist and curved hand.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should fold their arm to connect along the forearm and wrap their hand lightly around the back of the leader's upper arm, not underneath.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure the hand is soft and not gripping, avoiding white knuckles or marks on the leader's arm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Position the hand below the shoulder blade to align with the leader's center for optimal connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use this connection to facilitate movement in all directions, including stretch and compression for upcoming moves.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Proper closed position connection is crucial for achieving the right feeling in other dance moves taught in the course.</li>

<li>Maintain a light and ready hand grip to allow for responsive and comfortable interaction without tension.</li>
|
||||
<li>Adjust hand placement based on follower's height to ensure arms connect well and align with the leader's center.</li>
|
||||
<li>This technique enhances overall dance flow and prepares for more advanced moves involving stretch and compression.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing the Chicago Triple Basic Step with a partner, emphasizing adjustments in posture and connection for comfort and movement freedom.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start in a close embrace with an upright posture, but adjust to create space in the center area for the Chicago triple shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure the connection is comfortable, especially in the chest area, and avoid tight wrapping of arms to allow spine movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>For taller partners, avoid leaning forward too much and keep the right arm relaxed, even on the partner's left side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a long and comfortable neck position to enhance posture and connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Optionally, dance in a closed position with more space if close embrace is uncomfortable, allowing flexibility in hand placement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Comfort is key in partner connection; adjust posture and embrace to find a comfortable fit before dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Both leaders and followers should keep arms super relaxed to enable free movement and maintain the Chicago triple shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>Connection can vary based on height or body shape differences; be adaptable and prioritize mutual comfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>You can transition between close embrace and closed position during the dance, syncing movements with your partner and the music.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Followers initiate by stepping forward on the right foot towards the leader, then back to the left foot's starting position.</li>
|

<li>Keep steps small and under the body without traveling far.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax the arms so they bend towards the center when moving forward and stretch back naturally.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders can also initiate by stepping towards the partner and letting the arm move slightly towards them.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed body shape, leaning slightly towards the partner and back over the leg.</li>
|

<li>Use the triple rhythm's flow to guide the motion without forcing it.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|

<li>Keep hands centered and arms relaxed to allow compression without blocking.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain shoulders back and down during stretch to avoid tension and ensure connection.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on transitioning from the Chicago Triple to shuffle variations in partnership, emphasizing how leaders communicate moves through their own body movement rather than directly leading the follower.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should focus on moving their own body clearly to transmit the shuffle variation to the follower.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should wait to feel the direction of the leader's center movement, body shape, and weight transfer.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice transitions with music to enhance clarity and timing in the partnership.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The general rule for leaders is to 'just do it'—communicate moves by executing them correctly in your own body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transitions rely on body movement being transferred through points of connection, not on trying to move the partner's body directly.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers match the leader's movement by sensing changes in body shape and center to maintain balance.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on followers improvising with shuffle rhythms independently while leaders maintain a steady triple basic, aiming to enhance musicality and connection without mirroring each other's movements.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers should stay relaxed and keep the connection in their arms loose while changing rhythms underneath.</li>
|
||||
<li>Listen to the music's phrasing and change between triple and shuffle rhythms at appropriate eight-count sections.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers must take responsibility to rejoin the flow seamlessly after improvising.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should provide a clear triple basic base and lead variations like turns without changing rhythms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start in close position and gradually lead other moves to keep the dance engaging.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Weight transfer differs between triple and shuffle rhythms, but it's okay if bodies get off sync as long as the connection stays relaxed.</li>
|

<li>Improvisation should not affect the arm connection; keep it relaxed to maintain flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>The groove and music's flow keep partners connected even when movements are not mirrored.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches leaders to improvise with the shuffle independently from their partner while maintaining the Chicago Triple Basic, focusing on isolating body movements from arm connections to avoid leading the follower.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Try to relax the arm to move independently while still moving around the floor as a unit.</li>
|
||||
<li>When in closed position, avoid communicating movements to the follower's arm during transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use different connections and little terms to suggest variations without leading.</li>
|

<li>Practice isolating shuffle variations from the arm connection to prevent unintentional leading.</li>

<p>COURSE: chicago-triple-vol-ii-improvisation-musicality</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches followers how to incorporate independent cross steps into their Chicago Triple footwork while maintaining connection with their partner, focusing on variations like crossing behind or in front on the one.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep your steps directly under your body to avoid pulling your partner around the floor.</li>
|
||||
<li>Track your leader with the direction of your foot to stay connected during cross steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>In rotations, cross the right leg behind for clockwise turns to add momentum.</li>
|
||||
<li>For counter-clockwise turns, cross with the left leg to maintain flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a relaxed arm in close position to allow movement for followers.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should maintain a clear and steady triple without being distracted.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Connection is dynamic and can shift slightly as you play with variations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure feet are underneath your hips to maintain flow and avoid disconnection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Cross steps can be adapted into different positions like stretch and compression.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the aesthetic and avoid losing it while experimenting with footwork.</li>
|
||||
<li>Crossing in front creates opposition, which feels great but requires conscious step size.</li>
|
||||
<li>Variations like crossing behind or in front can be combined for creative play.</li>

<li>Ensure the shuffle rhythm is visually obvious in your body by transferring weight every beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add a little dig or tap of the foot before fully transferring weight to create the tap step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the body shape consistent when transitioning between triple and shuffle rhythms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Try not to rush the shuffle; stay between the beats and keep movements relaxed.</li>
|
||||
<li>Travel around a little bit while dancing to practice the transitions in motion.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The shuffle rhythm involves transferring weight every beat, similar to walking or stepping in previous lessons.</li>

||||
<li>The tap step variation allows easy transition back to the Chicago triple rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed and chill aesthetic even when the shuffle feels faster.</li>

<li>Finish with weight on the right for leaders and left for followers for easier transition to Chicago Triple.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add the shuffle without being too upright; get the body down and butt swinging.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice traveling the shuffle slightly backwards or forwards to vary movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||

<li>Maintain a connected, grounded body shape to enhance aesthetic and rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>You can vary the number of shuffles (e.g., two, four, eight) and change direction anytime.</li>

<li>Exaggerate the transition initially to build flow, then make it smoother and smaller.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the step tap with a count: 'and one, and two' etc., to maintain rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use hip swings to aid in traveling and turning the move around the room.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the importance of close embrace in slow drag, a dance where partners maintain body-to-body connection throughout, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate hold.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should rest their right arm lightly along the follower's side, connecting between wrist and inner elbow without pressing on the spine.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should drape their left arm along the leader's back line, keeping frame muscles engaged and shoulders in position.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed and light embrace, avoiding any tight holding or trapping of the partner's body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Adjust arm placement based on height differences, with options ranging from the back to the arm.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Close embrace is essential for slow drag, as it defines the dance and allows for spinal articulation, which is key in blues aesthetics.</li>
|
||||
<li>The dance originated as a radical statement of bodily autonomy for Black people, with all Black American dances starting in close embrace.</li>
|
||||
<li>While occasional breaks from close embrace are possible for musical interpretation, they should not be the default or regular occurrence.</li>
|
||||
<li>This dance influences most blues dances, making close embrace a foundational element in the genre.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on individual styling for musicality in slow drag, demonstrating hip movements as personal choices that enhance dance expression without relying on lead-follow dynamics.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>In close embrace, bring your hips back and around while maintaining torso connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>For an inverted movement, swing your hips forward as you travel, using posture to create space.</li>
|

<li>Practice hip styling without music first to focus on technique, then add music for timing.</li>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>

<li>Elongate one side of the torso while compressing the other to create a broken line.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add footwork by elongating on the push and compressing on the drag.</li>

<li>Keep a steady basic step while practicing this styling.</li>

<li>Choose specific spots in the music to apply this movement for a few counts.</li>

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>Spinal articulation is important for upper body styling in slow drag.</li>
|
||||
<li>The connection point in close embrace changes dynamically with torso movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>This styling is an individual musical choice and should not be done too aggressively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Aggressive styling can limit the partner's musicality and movement options.</li>
|

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Rotate your body to shift the point of connection with your partner on a horizontal plane.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a very relaxed connection to facilitate the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with twisting and pushing/dragging directions to find what feels comfortable.</li>
|
||||
<li>Observe foot placement and torso rotation during the drag to control energy and appearance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the movement with music, adjusting timing to land on or begin with the beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the latter timing (beginning movement on the count) for a deeper musical pocket and responsiveness.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The movement involves turning yourself around your partner's body, not turning your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Energy level in the drag affects its visibility, from subtle to resembling a fishtail.</li>
|
||||
<li>Slow drag music allows a wide range of movement choices due to its slow tempo.</li>

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use a wall with elbows and forearms against it to simulate partner connection and activate muscles like the anterior serratus.</li>
|
||||
<li>Push your armpits down to create space between your face and shoulders, preventing collapse.</li>
|
||||
<li>Pull your ribs together and widen your back to support your lower back with abdominal muscles.</li>
|
||||
<li>Progress exercises by moving feet further from the wall or transitioning to a floor plank for increased challenge.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep your neck relaxed and straight while pushing the floor away to maintain core engagement.</li>
|

<li>Breathe steadily and release facial tension by wiggling your mouth and cheeks during exercises.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||

<li>Practice with a wall helps build muscle memory and stability before applying techniques with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Aim to keep the body in a straight line with ribs, belly, and hips tucked in for optimal alignment.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Push armpits down and toward the wall to create space for the face.</li>
|
||||
<li>Engage the belly and support the back while breathing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Release the hips during the strutton jog to combine center engagement with hip relaxation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Try variations like cross feet, toe taps, shuffle steps, or triples as comfort increases.</li>
|
||||
<li>Move feet further from the wall to challenge balance and core support.</li>
|
||||
<li>Improvise with learned movements while maintaining the lean.</li>
|

|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Lean-to Connection in partner dance, focusing on how followers initiate and control the lean while maintaining a solid, comfortable posture with their leader.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers initiate the lean by taking their feet away from the leader as far as comfortable, starting with baby steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders can walk backwards to create the lean, with followers stepping forward if they want to reduce it.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice maintaining the lean while moving forward, back, side-to-side, and in rotation to build stability.</li>
|
||||
<li>Film yourselves to check for posture issues like collapsing backs or shoulders, which are easier to see than feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a supported push down with arms and shoulders to create space for the face and avoid collapsing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should maintain an athletic posture without leaning, supported through the core and armpits, to provide a solid base.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers always choose whether to lean and control the size of the lean, ensuring it's comfortable for them.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid collapsing the shoulders or back to prevent discomfort and maintain a strong, consistent connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Activate core and back muscles to press down slightly on the leader, creating space for the face and a solid feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>The lean should feel like a supported push down, not a collapse, for a pleasant and secure connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a straight, strong line in the back, as practiced in planks, to prevent arch collapse during movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders need to stay upright and supported to be a reliable base, avoiding rounding or collapsing that weakens the connection.</li>

|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Lift your heel and foot over the other foot instead of sliding it around to save space.</li>
|
||||
<li>Pull your hips back slightly when crossing in front to create more room between you and your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Cross behind rather than in front if space is a concern, using a knee-replacement motion for weight shift.</li>
|
||||
<li>Turn sideways to perform a front-to-back cross, especially when already positioned at an angle to your partner.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Avoid fully crossing feet end-to-end as it takes up too much room and risks hitting your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Be cautious with heels to prevent scraping or stabbing your foot during the lift-over motion.</li>
|

<li>Adjust posture by moving hips back to enhance spacing during front crosses.</li>

|
||||
<li>Mix between triple steps and the strutting basic, starting to travel around the room.</li>

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Set up rotation with shuffly steps before releasing into the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should pull back with the hand to prevent partners from continuing rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should maintain rotation in the hips and keep a down pulse in the butt.</li>
|
||||
<li>Look into the turn and find your leader to gauge distance for reconnection.</li>
|
||||
<li>For height differences, use the 'tulip' technique with elbow facing down.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should catch partners around the middle of the forearm, not too close.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The turn originates from post-WWII Memphis dancers adding flashy elements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain strut butt throughout the movement for proper energy flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Early connection helps followers understand distance for smooth reconnection.</li>
|
||||
<li>The shape involves rotation, turn, and returning to rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Improvise the turn shape naturally rather than following strict counts.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reconnect carefully at faster tempos, especially with the left arm.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Texas Tommy turn with a strutting basic, focusing on leaders tossing the follower's hand in a natural arc and catching them smoothly during rotation.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers place their right arm behind their back to test comfort before attempting the move.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should put their palm on top of the follower's hand and lead from the forearm and wrist, not by pulling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the follower's arm super relaxed and floating during the toss to avoid discomfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Catch the follower as they unwind from the turn, using the right forearm to smooth the transition back into connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a strutting basic pulse and center rotation to make the redirect effortless.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Comfort is paramount; followers should skip the move if the arm position causes shoulder or arm discomfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>The toss itself creates the turn's energy, so leaders should focus on the natural pathway of the follower's arm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Hand connection in the Texas Tommy hold is not used for leading; rely on forearm contact instead.</li>
|
||||
<li>This move is optional and can be added to a lean-to whenever desired, with counts not fixed to the music.</li>

<li>Shuffle through to change sides and switch hands as you move across.</li>
|

||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain your strutting pulse and basic jogging every beat during turns.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep your strutting butt engaged, especially for followers to enhance turn energy.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on performing sweeps, a dynamic movement in strutting, emphasizing creating rotation and leg sweeps while maintaining a solid upper-body connection in a lean-to position.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders step left, right, left, right, aiming connection toward the opposite foot to initiate rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers keep hips facing forwards and legs relaxed to allow natural sweeps without actively moving them.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with a partner by getting into a lean-to, pressing down through arms and shoulders for solid connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start small with twist in the core to avoid overdoing the movement and throwing the partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers can initiate sweeps by taking a big first step to signal rotation for the leader to follow.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a solid upper-body connection through arms, shoulders, back, and chest for effective sweeps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Hips should always stay facing forwards to ensure proper leg tracking and avoid crossing over.</li>
|
||||
<li>Sweeps rely on feeling the leader's rotation rather than followers trying to make it happen actively.</li>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start from a strut and basic to get the dance feel in your body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Build up rotation speed until it feels natural to slide or lift.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers keep a solid connection and lean, then stop stepping to slide around.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders don't try to stay in the spin forever; aim for one or two rotations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice at speed with music to build momentum.</li>
|

<li>Exit by bringing a leg in and stepping if needed.</li>

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

<li>This move may not work for everyone due to height or body size differences.</li>
|

<li>It's meant as inspiration, so don't force it if it doesn't feel natural.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on a solid lean-to connection for weight support.</li>
|
||||
<li>The spin happens when there's enough rotational energy to make stepping difficult.</li>
|
||||
<li>It can be done for a quarter or half rotation as a musical accent.</li>

|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on core activation exercises for Struttin dance, using a wall to simulate partner connection and build strength for maintaining proper posture and space.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use a wall with elbows and forearms against it to activate muscles like the anterior serratus for better posture.</li>
|
||||
<li>Push your armpits down to create space between your face and shoulders, especially helpful for shorter followers.</li>
|
||||
<li>Pull your ribs together and widen your back to support your lower back with abdominal muscles.</li>
|
||||
<li>Progress exercises by moving feet further from the wall or transitioning to a floor plank for increased challenge.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep your neck relaxed and straight while engaging core muscles to avoid tension and maintain alignment.</li>
|
||||
<li>During the plank, focus on pushing the floor away and breathing steadily to prevent fatigue.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>In Struttin, the follower leans onto the leader while the leader maintains an athletic posture without leaning, creating more space for footwork.</li>
|
||||
<li>Core strength is essential for maintaining this connection and preventing lower back pain during dance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid collapsing the neck, shoulders, or lower back to support the spine and improve dance comfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice core engagement gradually, starting on a wall and progressing to the floor as strength improves.</li>
|
||||
<li>Aim to keep core muscles engaged for the duration of a song to enhance dance performance and endurance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Regular core training helps build a better connection to muscles, making dance movements more efficient and enjoyable.</li>

||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers initiate the lean by taking their feet away as far as comfortable, starting with baby steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders can walk backwards to create the lean, with followers stepping forward if they want to reduce it.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice maintaining the lean while moving forward, back, side to side, and in rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Film yourselves to check for posture issues like collapsing backs or shoulders.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a supported push down with arms and shoulders to create space for the face and ensure a solid connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders maintain an athletic posture without leaning, supported through the core and armpits.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers control whether to lean and the size of the lean, ensuring it's comfortable for them.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid collapsing the shoulders or back to prevent discomfort and maintain a strong connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Activate muscles to press down slightly on the leader, similar to exercises on a wall or floor.</li>
|
||||
<li>A consistent, solid connection helps both partners feel secure and know each other's position.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a straight, strong line in the back to support the lean and prevent arch collapse.</li>
|
||||
<li>The lean should feel pleasant and supported, not collapsed, for both partners.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson provides tips for dancing in lean-to connection, focusing on how to maintain connection while adding independent footwork variations.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Don't worry about being in sync with your partner; embrace different foot placements and dynamic connections.</li>
|
||||
<li>Engage your core and upper body to be solid, allowing more freedom in your feet for variations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Communicate with your partner about how much pressure is comfortable in the lean-to connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should flow with the partner's variations, allowing the dance direction to be a two-way conversation.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The connection should feel consistent at the top while allowing freedom in hips and feet.</li>
|
||||
<li>Being solid in the upper body prevents collapsing and makes footwork easier.</li>
|
||||
<li>Variations can affect the dance's rotation and travel; adapt and interact with your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lean-to connection is changeable; embrace its dynamic nature without freaking out.</li>

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The Camel Walk has a sharper edge and more defined shape compared to softer strutting moves.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Dig one toe into the ground and pull that leg forward while pulling the other back to create opposition.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep one leg bent and one leg straight, similar to the camel walk, for better control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine energetically sending the bent leg forward even if it doesn't move to enhance resistance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a pulse in the body while sliding, starting slow and adjusting speed as needed.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the slide at different tempos, such as every two beats or every beat, to build versatility.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Pop Turn, a strutting move that involves opening from a partner and using arm connection to create a turn, building on previous courses.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Followers should slide their left arm down instead of keeping it wrapped around the leader during rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a frame with shoulders rolled back and down to avoid shoulder issues.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should drop the elbow downward and bring it back to horizontal, not pointing upward, during the pop.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure both partners are in a balanced position without leaning before attempting the turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the deepening arm connection to push off into the turn, creating it from the rotation.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The key to the Pop Turn is the moment of arm compression and connection between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>This turn is similar to previous lessons but uses the other arm to open up.</li>
|
||||
<li>Dancers should come out of a lean-to position to maintain balance before turning.</li>
|
||||
<li>The turn is generated from the existing rotation in the strutting style, requiring no extra effort.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson explores choices for leaders and followers at the end of a send-out, focusing on establishing and playing with endpoints and rotation.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Think of the line as a point that stays fixed for the leader while the follower's point moves during the send-out.</li>
|
||||
<li>As a follower, slow down toward the end to signal a delay in reaching the endpoint, like gently applying brakes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders can unfurl or untwist their point as the follower travels, allowing for styling choices in timing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers can spend extra time at the endpoint before unwrapping, adding playfulness to the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the 'closing the door' analogy to control how long it takes to finish the endpoint as a leader.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Endpoints are established separately for leaders and followers, with the leader's point generally staying fixed and the follower's moving.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rotation within the point adds fun and variation, with timing affecting the partnership's dynamics.</li>
|
||||
<li>The choice of endpoint timing is a stylistic decision for both roles, enhancing musicality and connection.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding rotation to the Texas Shuffle through a protected rotation exercise, where partners practice anchoring and rotating around each other to build stability and control.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leads should step underneath themselves and stay anchored in one spot without moving.</li>
|
||||
<li>Follows should track their leader's movements and avoid falling over, even if crossing steps feels necessary.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a piece of tape or mark on the ground to practice staying under a spot for extra challenge.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partners can switch roles, with the follow becoming the anchor to practice rotation from both perspectives.</li>
|
||||
<li>If without a partner, try using a pole to simulate resistance and rotation around a fixed point.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain proper posture and leverage throughout the exercise to ensure safety and effectiveness.</li>
|
||||
<li>It's acceptable to rotate on one foot if you feel stable and supported during the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reset and start again if the rotation feels off to maintain the correct leverage feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>The exercise builds on previous concepts from leverage exercises, using a two-hand hold for protection.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing rotation in Texas Shuffle, specifically teaching how to anchor and rotate around a partner using techniques from pass-bys.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the door to create a line and let the rotation continue instead of stopping.</li>
|
||||
<li>Hold your spot at the end of a pass-by and rotate around your follower.</li>
|
||||
<li>Anchor yourself when your partner locks on a spot to encourage rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play with different shots and footwork while holding a stable spot.</li>
|
||||
<li>Trade the anchor role back and forth with your partner during rotation.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Rotation should feel similar to the protected two-arm version but with only one connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>The movement can be initiated from either the leader or follower deciding to anchor.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rotation builds energy like in linear movements but in a circular pattern.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice should feel like a conversation, not a fight, to maintain flow.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep your wrist and hand as straight as possible to avoid bending.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax your elbow and maintain the arm in a stable position.</li>
|
||||
<li>For follows, keep the elbow close to the body for more stability.</li>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>The feel of compression should stay consistent, with both partners exerting equal energy forward.</li>
|

|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on creating and using leverage in dance, emphasizing maintaining opposite energy between partners to move together precisely.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Wrap your left hand around your partner's triceps to ensure no gaps and keep your shoulder relaxed and elbow low.</li>
|
||||
<li>Aim for your partner's higher back as a leader to avoid soft spots and provide a firmer connection for leverage.</li>
|
||||
<li>Roll your shoulders back and down to avoid popping them up, maintaining mobility and preventing tension.</li>
|
||||
<li>Engage your upper triceps and thighs by keeping your arm bent to support leverage movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play a leverage guessing game with your partner to practice feeling and adjusting the amount of leverage used.</li>
|
||||
<li>In closed position, focus on feeling the leverage through your partner's back hand and adjust your engagement accordingly.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leverage is created when two bodies' energies move away from each other, maintaining a slight stretch or opposite energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use just enough leverage to move together precisely without overdoing it, as too much can look awkward or cause imbalance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid letting your shoulders pop up or tense, as this can lead to discomfort and limit mobility during movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>The connection should be firm but relaxed, with no empty spaces, to effectively transmit and feel leverage between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice sensing leverage through exercises to improve coordination and timing with your partner for future steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>If one partner lets go, the opposite energy should cause the other to step back, illustrating the principle of leverage in action.</li>

|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the 'pose' in Texas Shuffle, emphasizing a horizontal energy and smooth movement, with practice on maintaining leverage during in-and-out drifts.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Practice drifting closer together and further apart while keeping a horizontal energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Let go of your partner to check if they step back, ensuring leverage is maintained.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a mirror to monitor and maintain consistent posture during practice.</li>
|
||||
<li>Reestablish leverage when coming in if you feel a drop in energy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Film yourself to self-assess your posture and movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The pose in this style involves horizontal energy, not just up-and-down or forward-and-back movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leverage should persist even when drifting in and out, with energy flowing opposite to body movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain the same posture throughout to avoid leaning back or losing form.</li>
|
||||
<li>Individual differences in arm length may affect the appearance of the pulse, but the principle remains consistent.</li>

||||

<p>COURSE: texas-shuffle-vol-i</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on combining in-and-out movements with tempo changes between slows and quicks in the Texas Shuffle, building on previous skills.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start in an embrace and begin with quicks on every beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Switch to slows by using a 'bop' rhythm for a slower tempo.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice coming in and going out while maintaining the tempo changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Follow along with the instructor's movements to synchronize the steps.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Tempo changes involve switching between slows (one, two) and quicks (every beat).</li>
|
||||
<li>In-and-out movements are integrated with the tempo to enhance flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leverage and open position concepts from earlier lessons support these combinations.</li>
|
||||
