<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces Delta Blues music, its historical context and characteristics, and explains how to dance to it in a grounded, intimate, and non-performative way.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Dance in a very grounded way to feel connection with the ground.</li>
|
||||
<li>Find intimacy with your own movement rather than being performative.</li>
|
||||
<li>Connect with yourself and feel everything in the body during movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Delta Blues originated in the early 1900s in the Mississippi Delta as an intimate, self-expressive music.</li>
|
||||
<li>The music was a tool for self-awareness and community expression among African-Americans.</li>
|
||||
<li>Dancing to Delta Blues should focus on personal space and freedom of thought, not performance.</li>

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>This dance is for personal intimacy, not performance, so focus on self-connection.</li>
|

<li>Movement originates from the ground, traveling through feet, knees, thighs, and into the hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>Collect heaviness to the ground before redirecting to the next side for better control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a slow, relaxed pace to fully experience the weight shifts and breath.</li>
|
||||
<li>You can transfer weight without taking steps, staying with the feeling from the ground.</li>
|
||||
<li>The snaky motion involves bringing every tiny part of the body to the next foot with no rush.</li>

<li>Draw small circles with the chest parallel to the ground, focusing on forward, side, and back movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Connect chest rotation with stepping underneath to maintain flow between hips and chest.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with drawing circles on one side of the chest, like around the shoulder, then switch directions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Combine chest and hip motions by taking energy from the ground into the lats, hips, and chest.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with minimal steps, using just weight shifts to keep movements small and intimate.</li>

<li>Maintain a connected flow between body parts rather than isolating movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep chest rotations small to emphasize intimacy and personal expression in the dance.</li>
|

<p>COURSE: Dancing to Delta Blues</p>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on creating dynamic moments in dance by exploring tension release, specifically practicing controlled drops to interrupt constant body flow and then rebuilding movement.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Imagine something heavy pulling you down when releasing tension for a drop.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice doubling the drop quickly: inhale, drop-drop, then return to flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start rebuilding flow directly from where the drop lands, such as using hip rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Slow down movements to create intimate, tiny motions after drops.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use side steps with snake effects as comfortable base movements for practicing drops.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Dynamics involve interrupting constant body flow with intentional tension releases.</li>
|
||||
<li>The core maintains connection between upper and lower body during movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Drops can occur in either upper or lower body by releasing energy from the core.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rebuild flow immediately from the drop point rather than returning to neutral first.</li>
|
||||
<li>Control the timing and speed of drops to vary dynamic expression.</li>

|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Delta Blues music originates from the Mississippi Delta and emphasizes self-awareness and collective expression.</li>
|

|
||||
<li>Latin blues rhythms were common in blues during the 1940s and 1950s, introduced by figures like Jelly Roll Morton.</li>
|
||||
<li>A rhythm like habanera does not define a specific blues style; it can appear across different styles.</li>
|
||||

|
||||
<li>Latin rhythms in blues originated from Afro-Cuban influences, such as the habanera.</li>
|
||||
<li>The course will cover three main ways to dance to Latin blues music.</li>
|
||||
<li>Understanding the historical context helps appreciate the diversity in Latin blues dance.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of the Slow Quick Quick step in Latin Blues, focusing on creating distance and a different shape between partners by opening the body and releasing the hand.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Open your body slightly and release the hand to create distance between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>Connect with the hand to maintain space and flow during the steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate a delay in body movement to avoid moving as a block.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax into the movement to achieve smooth transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>To stop the variation, simply don't open the body and return to closed dancing.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Avoid pushing; the distance is created through body opening and hand release.</li>
|
||||
<li>Delay in body movement enhances the slow rhythm and creates beautiful shapes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain equilibrium by stepping back as space increases between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>The technique is similar to leading or following in dances like Lindy Hop.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the feeling of distance and flow rather than speed.</li>

<p>COURSE: Latin Blues Volume 1</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Slow Quick Quick: Opposition' move in Latin Blues, focusing on how leaders can surprise followers by shifting into opposition and then reconnecting smoothly.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders start with weight on the right and do three steps: slow, quick, quick, then step, step, hold to maintain weight on the left.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders cheat by shifting back onto the right to surprise the follower and enter opposition.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers keep doing the same slow, quick, quick steps while adjusting body angle to track the leader.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a 'laser beam' concept on the chest to always face the leader for better connection and flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play with arm connections: release one hand, stay connected, or change hands as you move.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add noise or sounds to make the dance more enjoyable and expressive.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The follower's footwork does not change; only the body angle adjusts to maintain connection with the leader.</li>
|
||||
<li>Opposition is achieved by leaders shifting weight unexpectedly, creating a magical effect without disrupting the step pattern.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a slight body angle towards your partner for comfort and better arm connection during the move.</li>
|
||||
<li>Once in the groove, you can experiment with arm positions and connections to personalize the style.</li>
|
||||
<li>This move is simple but effective, allowing for playful variations and added fun in dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Tracking the leader with body alignment helps maintain flow and connection throughout the opposition shift.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding body shaping to the Cinquillo rhythm by creating asymmetric stretches across the body, enhancing movement with diagonal and directional energy.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Step to the side while leaving the hip behind to create an asymmetric shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep weight slightly forward on the feet to achieve a diagonal body stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transition directly across when moving from one side to the other.</li>
|
||||
<li>When traveling forwards or backwards, swing hips back and sternum forward for added stretch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice in front of a mirror or film yourself to observe body shapes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure breathing is integrated into the movement for better flow.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Body shaping involves asymmetric stretches from hip to rib with a forward lean.</li>
|
||||
<li>Directional energy adds forwards and backwards stretch alongside sideways movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>The technique enhances groove and feeling in the dance through breath and body alignment.</li>
|
||||
<li>Apply these principles when dancing with a partner for improved connection and expression.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson explains the rumba rhythm by building on the trecio rhythm, focusing on adding extra beats around the four to create a distinct pattern, with the goal of helping students hear, clap, and eventually dance to it.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start by clapping the trecio rhythm to a metronome before adding the rumba beats.</li>
|
||||
<li>Listen for the rumba rhythm in the bass line of a song to identify it amidst other instruments.</li>
|
||||
<li>Mark the rhythm in your body or clap along to internalise the pattern.</li>
|

<li>Practice transitioning from the trecio to the rumba rhythm to hear the difference.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The rumba rhythm adds a little 'and four and' at the end of the trecio pattern.</li>
|
||||
<li>The trecio rhythm is one, two and a half, four, serving as the foundation for the rumba.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the bass line to isolate the rumba rhythm in full music without distraction.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches two ways to partner the slow, quick, quick shuffle: leading and following it clearly, and using it as an individual variation while maintaining partnership.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>As a leader, think about a pendulum swing back on the first count to initiate the rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Release your arms slightly to create space for hip movement without overstretching.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice eight counts of step touch basic followed by eight counts of the shuffle to feel the difference.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain the same speed and direction as your partner even when adding individual footwork variations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the rhythm as an optional styling layer that doesn't disrupt the basic partnership.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The slow, quick, quick shuffle can be led and followed or used as a personal variation without breaking the partnership.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep arm movements natural and minimal to allow for hip swing and balance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partners can choose different footwork while still following each other's speed and direction.</li>
|
||||
<li>This step fits directly on top of a two-count basic, making it versatile for integration.</li>

<p>COURSE: Rhythm Toolkit</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to mix Group I and Group II rhythms in dance improvisation, focusing on maintaining communication and axis awareness between partners.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>In closed position, avoid improvising with different rhythm groupings to keep the frame and energy aligned.</li>
|
||||
<li>In open rhythm, you can break rules by shifting your axis differently from your partner, as long as both are aware.</li>
|
||||
<li>As a follower, focus on the body's momentum and energy from the leader, not just footwork, to stay in sync.</li>
|
||||
<li>When improvising, keep arms relaxed and maintain a clear weight shift so your partner can feel your movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>If you get out of sync, use it as an opportunity to create something new or fix it by realigning axes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with a song to see how rhythms work together or apart, and experiment to find what feels good.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Mixing rhythms changes the axis and communication between dancers, requiring awareness of each other's positions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Improvisation should be playful and clear, allowing partners to feel differences through body communication.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should lead based on body movement and momentum, not specific steps, to guide followers effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>You cannot control everything in improvisation, but maintaining relaxed arms and consistent speed helps the relationship.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use out-of-sync moments as creative opportunities or to realign, rather than seeing them as mistakes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with different rhythm combinations to develop your own rhythmic dialogue in dance.</li>

<p>COURSE: Rhythm Toolkit</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson explains how different rhythms fit together in blues dancing, focusing on triplet, shuffle, and other variations to help dancers transition between them based on the music.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with the triplet rhythm by counting 'one and and' for each beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Create the shuffle rhythm by removing one 'and' per beat, resulting in 'One and two and'.</li>
|
||||
<li>Form the slow, quick, quick shuffle by taking another 'and' away, counting 'one, two and three, four and'.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate the triple rhythm by moving the 'ands' to positions like 'one and two, three and four'.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice single time with steady beats 'one, two, three, four', half time with 'one, three', and quarter time with 'one, one, one'.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the diagram to visualize how all rhythms overlay and fit together.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Different rhythms can be derived by adding or removing subdivisions from a base triplet pattern.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rhythms like shuffle and triple involve modifying the placement or number of 'ands' in the count.</li>
|
||||
<li>In blues music, dancers can switch between rhythms based on what they hear in the song.</li>
|
||||
<li>Understanding how rhythms fit together helps in adapting to musical changes during a dance.</li>
|
||||
<li>The lesson emphasizes practical application by dancing to the rhythm perceived in the music at any moment.</li>
|
||||
<li>All rhythms are interconnected and can be layered, as shown in the diagram.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on introducing Group III rhythms, specifically the quarter step lasting four counts, and integrating it with previous groups for improvisation.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Use the quarter step to travel more and utilize space effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add the quarter step at the end of a musical phrase or during a break for dramatic effect.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lead this rhythm to maintain connection and flow with your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate the quarter step to create contrast with faster foot rhythms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Suggest the quarter step with your body if you sense a musical break your partner might miss.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Group III contains only the quarter step, which is unique for its four-count duration.</li>
|
||||
<li>This rhythm is led by the leader due to its travel and space requirements.</li>
|
||||
<li>It can change the connection dynamic between partners, so use it intentionally.</li>
|
||||
<li>Employ the quarter step to slow things down and enjoy stillness in the music.</li>
|
||||
<li>Integrate it with Groups I and II for varied improvisation.</li>

<p>COURSE: Swinging Triplets</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on integrating independent shoulder and hip variations into partnered dancing, with leaders guiding weight shifts and tempo while both partners add their own body movements.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start by dancing in open position to practice variations without complex leading.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should lead basics, walks, and turns to create a foundation for adding variations.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add individual rhythmical variations during simpler moments in the dance, such as open dancing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with music immediately to apply variations in a real-time context.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Variations are independent for each partner, not led by the leader.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders are responsible for leading weight shifts, direction, and tempo.</li>
|
||||
<li>Integrating variations with complex figures requires additional practice and training.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep it simple initially by focusing on open dancing and basic leads.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to perform a led hip wiggle, also known as belly rubbing, in close embrace with a partner, focusing on subtle movement from the center.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with four basic steps, then open slightly into a V shape on the fourth step as preparation for the wiggle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Perform eight counts of the baby wiggle with a rolling feeling across the center, then exit back into basics.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should lead the wiggle from their own body, not with the arms, to avoid discomfort and complexity.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should slow down and delay slightly to match the leader's pace for a smoother feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the wiggle solo first with open and close movements to build muscle memory before trying with a partner.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The wiggle must be very subtle to prevent it from feeling like a fight between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>A good close embrace connection in the center is essential for feeling and leading the movement effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax the arms and focus on the connection through the bellies to enhance the rolling sensation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure there is no gap in the close embrace to properly feel each other's movement and lead the wiggle.</li>

<p>COURSE: Swinging Triplets</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding a hip rotation wiggle move as an independent variation in swing dance, emphasizing its use during stationary moments rather than while traveling.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Add the wiggle during stops, such as after a turn, to respond to music cues.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a slow weight shift to facilitate a clear exit from the move.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure awareness of your partner's position and your own weight placement for smooth transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the variation in both open and closed positions without requiring synchronization with your partner.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The wiggle is easier to perform in open positions with less physical connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>It does not need to be integrated with complex movements to be effective.</li>
|
||||
<li>Clarity in weight shifts and partner awareness is crucial for maintaining dance flow.</li>

<li>Start with the basic step (step touch) before transitioning into walks or triple rhythms.</li>
|
||||
<li>For triple rhythm, ensure three clear steps: one, two, three, with clear weight shifts.</li>
|

<li>Practice without music first using counts: eight counts each of basics, swinging triplets, walks, and triplets.</li>
