<p>FOCUS: This lesson concludes the Texas Shuffle course by recapping key techniques and elements of style, culminating in an improvised social dance to demonstrate mastery.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use body twists, compression, and leverage tension to power movement in passes and turns.</li>
|
||||
<li>Encourage level changes by going up and then dropping for a large visual effect.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with footwork variations using different parts of your foot.</li>
|
||||
<li>In closed position, shift on the left foot and press forward to transition smoothly.</li>
|
||||
<li>For a left side pass, ensure the follower passes the leader on their left side.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Texas Shuffle is primarily danced in closed position for 60-70% of the time.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should invite followers to join in style elements rather than forcing movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on rotation and level changes to dance artistically while complementing your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>All movements in Texas Shuffle involve moving to or from compression and leverage tension.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use music inspiration from artists like Lowell Folsom or T-Bone Walker to enhance the dance.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>

<li>Place hands on the chest to locate the pulse.</li>
|

<li>Pull from the sternum forward to create expansion, not from the shoulders.</li>
|

<li>Start with a smaller, subtle pulse in close embrace to feel partner connection.</li>

<li>Keep the pulse going continuously like a heartbeat.</li>

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The pulse is ever-present and essential for the dance to continue.</li>
|

<li>It originates from the abdominal muscles, not shoulder movement.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on body twists and connection points using compression and leverage tension in Texas Shuffle, aiming to teach how partners relate through angles rather than facing square to each other.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use a wall or door handle as a stable point to practice body twists without a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>For compression, press towards each other through the leader's left hand and follower's right hand.</li>
|
||||
<li>For leverage tension, both partners press back equally from the leader's right side and follower's left side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate body twists into movements towards and away from a practice object like a door handle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use frame muscles, not biceps or forearms, for connection points in compression and leverage tension.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Avoid standing square to your partner; use angles with shoulders and hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>Body twist amount depends on personal style, flexibility, dance context, and music.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leverage tension involves both partners pressing back equally, not weight sharing like counterbalance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure practice objects like doors are stable and firmly shut to prevent accidents.</li>

<li>Turn the body and clear the path with footwork to allow the follower to pass smoothly.</li>
|

<li>Engage the frame in both leader and follower to create compression and leverage tension.</li>

</ul></p>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>Leaders should dance throughout the move, not just step through, to maintain musicality.</li>
|

<li>The positioning after a pass is open for personal interpretation, allowing flexibility in connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid pushing with the hands; rely on body movement and frame engagement for leading.</li>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson covers the three dynamic positions in Texas shuffle: compression, leverage tension, and groove space, focusing on how to sustain and transition between them while maintaining proper handhold and body movement.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep the hand as still as possible geographically during sustained compression.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax your arm to easily maintain groove space while dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should initiate groove space by stepping in a neutral side movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Adjust body twists with shoulders and hips while keeping compression stable.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the same handhold with ample surface area for comfort during passes and turns.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Groove space involves dancing independently while touching, with no leading or following.</li>
|
||||
<li>Sustaining positions allows holding dynamic tension longer than normal counts.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transition out of groove space by creating compression or leverage tension.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain forward pressure towards each other during sustained compression.</li>
|

<p>COURSE: texas-shuffle-with-damon-kelsy-stone</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches over and under rotation as elements of style in Texas Shuffle, focusing on individual artistic choices that impact partnership dynamics.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>For over rotation, maintain frame muscles while moving shoulder or hip away without letting the hand slip.</li>
|
||||
<li>Over rotation often works best from a left side pass, encouraging the partner to continue past the normal stopping point.</li>
|
||||
<li>Under rotation involves moving towards the connection point using frame muscles, keeping the shoulder relaxed back and down.</li>
|
||||
<li>Under rotation is effective from a right side pass with an underarm turn, where settling weight can encourage staying in position.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders can encourage rotation by creating energy with their own body, which the partner can choose to match.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use rotation to emphasize something in the music and bring extra attention to it.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Rotation is based on how you relate to the connection point with your partner, beyond just being square.</li>
|
||||
<li>Over and under rotation are artistic choices, not forced by the leader, but encouraged through body dynamics.</li>
|
||||
<li>The choice to over or under rotate depends on the turn's resolution and visual eye contact with your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Frame muscles must be maintained during rotation to control movement without changing the connection point's position.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partners can suggest rotation, but it is ultimately a personal decision to join or adjust the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rotation adds style by allowing individual expression while staying in conversation with your partner.</li>

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use a door handle as a substitute for a partner to practice compression and leverage tension.</li>
|
||||
<li>Move your body towards and away from the door handle to work on over and under rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on maintaining compression throughout the practice.</li>
|
||||
<li>Apply leveraged tension as you would with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the movements on your own to build skill and confidence.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>You can effectively practice partner dance moves alone using simple props like a door handle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Compression and leverage tension are key elements to maintain even when practicing solo.</li>
|
||||
<li>The under and over rotation can be worked on independently to improve technique.</li>

<li>Solo practice helps reinforce movements and makes partner dancing smoother.</li>

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Lower your body in space to ground musical phrases, such as when a piano goes down the scale.</li>
|
||||
<li>If you can't get low, rise up slightly before going down, but avoid jumping.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use your free leg to perform level changes after completing a turn.</li>
|
||||
<li>As a leader, change the pitch of your body by bending at the waist instead of moving the entire lower body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Set your connection point before bringing your body down and away during a pass.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Level changes are for dramatic effect in the music, not positions to hold while dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>In blues dance, the default posture is shoulders forward, knees bent, and hips out of line.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on listening for musical cues like phrase changes to time your level changes effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure that rises are controlled and not jumps to maintain smooth movements.</li>
