|
||||
<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>

<li>Allow the breath to guide body movement naturally.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain relaxation in the mouth and body throughout the practice.</li>
|
||||
<li>Explore sending breath to different parts of the torso for awareness.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on breath as a tool for relaxation before physical steps.</li>
|

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

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on mastering the Snake Hips movement by shifting weight slowly from side to side, emphasizing a snaky motion in the hips through controlled footwork and connection to the ground.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Shift weight left to right slowly, feeling the push from the floor into the hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>Roll feet from toes to heel as you transfer weight to maintain a smooth motion.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax and soften the knee when weight comes onto the foot to enhance fluidity.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice drawing circles with your feet while keeping the snake effect in the hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>Take your time and slow down if weight transfer feels strange to better feel the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Bring the movement to a smaller dimension while still feeling the weight transfer and snake motion.</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>

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

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on chest rotation in Delta Blues dance, teaching how to integrate chest movements with hip rotations and weight shifts for expressive, intimate dancing.</p>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight shifts from the feet to feel the hips and chest in a snakey motion.</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>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Focus on natural movements that arise from hip rotations to enhance torso expression.</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>
|
||||
<li>Use weight shifts as a foundation before adding torso movements for better control.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with different circle sizes and directions to explore how the chest responds.</li>
|
||||
<li>Dance for yourself, prioritizing self-expression and exploration over large motions.</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>COURSE: Dancing to Delta Blues</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson recaps the Dancing to Delta Blues course, focusing on grounding movements and self-expression through a series of body explorations.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start by breathing and connecting with yourself to center your movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Explore footwork on the floor to build a grounded foundation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Let energy travel from the legs up through the hips and chest in snakey or rotational motions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Engage shoulders and let arms flow naturally with the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate drops by releasing tension on the exhale to return to the flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Take moments to center yourself during the dance without doing everything at once.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Delta Blues music originates from the Mississippi Delta and emphasizes self-awareness and collective expression.</li>
|
||||
<li>Movement should be grounded and connected to energy from the floor for intimacy.</li>
|
||||
<li>The course progresses from breathing to full-body integration, including drops and arm flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on personal expression rather than performing all elements constantly.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the dance as a way to explore connection with oneself and the music's history.</li>
