<p>COURSE: struttin-vol-i-introduction</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces the history and basics of Struttin', a dance from Memphis, Tennessee, spanning the 1930s to 1950s, with the goal of starting to learn the dance.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Dance in close embrace for footwork variations and turning.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a small space as it was traditionally danced in bars.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate turns and flashy moves for showmanship in later styles.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on up-tempo, faster blues music for the dance rhythm.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Struttin' evolved from pre-World War II close embrace to post-war showmanship.</li>
|
||||
<li>The dance originated in Memphis and has two distinct generations of styles.</li>
|
||||
<li>Check resources for more history, such as Damon Stone's video.</li>

<p>COURSE: struttin-vol-i-introduction</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on core activation exercises to support the unique Strutton connection where the follower leans onto the leader, aiming to build strength for better posture and dance movement.</p>
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>In Strutton, the follower leans onto the leader, not vice versa, to allow more space for footwork and change the dance connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Core strength is essential for maintaining proper posture and preventing lower back pain while dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Engage muscles to avoid collapsing the neck, shoulders, or lower back for a more comfortable and effective dance experience.</li>
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
<li>Gradually increase exercise difficulty to build endurance for maintaining core engagement throughout a dance song.</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>Start with a close embrace and find body-to-body connection by walking into your partner with forward intention.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain an athletic posture with space between bellies and legs to avoid kicking or treading on each other.</li>

|
||||
<li>Followers can flop their arms around the leader's shoulders for a comfortable hug-like connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Try moving the connection forward, backward, side-to-side, and rotating left and right to test stability.</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>Keep the toe tap relaxed to avoid hurting your toes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain the jogging pulse throughout the toe tap for a consistent appearance.</li>

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

<li>Footwork in Struttin is independent; partners do not have to be on the same side.</li>
|
||||
<li>The goal is to keep the pulse and connection unchanged so the partner doesn't feel the variation.</li>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Out and In Shuffle footwork variation, focusing on maintaining a consistent pulse and fluid movement while practicing on both sides.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Imagine a ceiling above your head to avoid up-and-down movement and keep the dance level.</li>
|
||||
<li>Let your hips go back slightly to create room for leg straightening without raising your head.</li>
|
||||
<li>Think of your body moving through space first, bringing your feet with it to maintain fluidity.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the pulse consistent throughout the dance, especially when traveling or transitioning.</li>
|
||||
<li>Try the shuffle with a partner independently to hit accents or do multiple in a row.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Practice the shuffle on both sides to improve improvisation and versatility in dance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid disrupting the flow of the dance by keeping movements level and smooth.</li>
|
||||
<li>Communicate with your partner about how the variation feels to maintain connection and fluidity.</li>

<p>COURSE: struttin-vol-i-introduction</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces a triple step variation in footwork, focusing on changing the rhythm while maintaining relaxation and posture from previous techniques.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Practice the triple step rhythm as 'dakida, dakida' to get it in the body or ears.</li>
|
||||
<li>Mix between triple steps and the strutting basic, starting to travel around the room.</li>
|
||||
<li>Think about a 'down feeling' during the triple step to emphasize the foot under the hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>Try letting the middle foot of the triple step slide out to the side or back diagonal for styling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the same jogging feel throughout, as if doing the same step twice on one foot.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>All previous techniques like relaxation and posture apply; only the foot rhythm changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>There is no prescripted number of triple steps; improvise based on the music and inspiration.</li>
|
||||
<li>The triple step is independent and can be added whenever desired, including with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the foot that is stepping as the main foot, keeping it under the hips for stability.</li>
|
||||
<li>Options include strutting basics, triple steps under the body, and slidey styling for variation.</li>

<p>COURSE: struttin-vol-i-introduction</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches turns in Struttin' dance, focusing on adding flashy, showy rotations while maintaining proper technique and connection.</p>
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
</ul></p>
