<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on partnered low downs in blues shuffle, teaching transitions from basic steps and exploring different positions like closed and shake hands.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Leaders should be clear with transitions so followers can feel and follow them.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should listen actively to weight shifts rather than anticipating steps.</li>
|

<li>Experiment with tapping feet in different places around the body for creativity.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use shake hands position to create distance and vary body shapes.</li>
|

</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders initiate transitions from the basic step into low downs on specific counts.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers mirror leaders but on opposite legs for smooth coordination.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain active listening to adapt to varying numbers of low down steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Closed and shake hands positions offer options for styling and connection.</li>

<li>Start with the weight on the right to practice the variation both ways.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the variation small with steps staying under your body.</li>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to incorporate the shuffle rhythm into shoulder movements while maintaining a basic step, aiming to enhance dance fluidity and reduce robotic appearance.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Imagine strings pulling your scapula down repeatedly to initiate the shoulder shuffle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep your neck long to avoid tension while performing the shoulder movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start with either the right or left shoulder, as it doesn't matter for this exercise.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice walking around the room while maintaining the basic step and shoulder shuffle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Breathe out to relax and improve dance flow during the shuffle.</li>
|
||||
<li>If you get lost, go back to walking without the shuffle to regain composure.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The shoulder shuffle should not affect your footwork; keep the same stepping quality.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on moving from a robotic to a more dancer-like appearance with practice.</li>
|
||||
<li>Integrate the shuffle rhythm on top of the basic step without changing foot movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain consistency in shoulder and foot coordination to avoid losing the rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the imagery of pulled strings to guide the down motion in the shoulders.</li>
|

<li>Practice with music to enhance timing and feel of the blues shuffle.</li>

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with a tap and a step to establish the shuffle rhythm, practicing with clear weight shifts every beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine your foot gets caught on the floor on the way to the step to help with the tap action.</li>
|
||||
<li>Engage your entire body by digging into the ground when stepping to create a distinct shape.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice transitioning from basic steps to the tap step shuffle by changing body shape clearly.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partner work, leaders should perform the step clearly in their own body without trying to move the follower.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The shuffle rhythm is a variation of your walk, with weight shifts every beat similar to walking.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers feel the leader's body shape rather than the rhythm itself, allowing them to join the movement independently.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transitions involve shifting from two-count weight changes in basics to single-count changes in the shuffle step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice solo first to fit the step to music, then with a partner in various positions like open, closed, or side-by-side.</li>

<li>Keep your feet under your body and use a small, subtle swing from the hips.</li>

<p>COURSE: The Blues Shuffle</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on transitioning between the basic step and the shuffle step in the Blues Shuffle, emphasising timing and weight transfer for smooth movement.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Transfer weight a fraction quicker when transitioning into the shuffle step because you're stepping before the beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the transition solo first to ensure clarity in body movement before partnering up.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should lead clearly with body movement, keeping the hand connection steady while shifting weight.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should listen actively for timing changes and respond to the leader's weight shifts.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on the right for leaders and left for followers when practicing with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with music and a partner in a fixed position to reinforce the transition.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Transitioning into the shuffle feels fast due to early weight transfer, while returning to the basic feels slower as weight shifts on the beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Aim to be a two-legged dancer by practicing transitions on both sides for balanced skill.</li>
|
||||
<li>Clarity in leading and active listening in following are crucial for successful partner transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Master the transition solo to avoid funky movements before attempting it with a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>The shift in body shape and early weight transfer are key indicators for smooth transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partner practice should start with eyes closed for followers to enhance following skills.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: The Blues Shuffle</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Step Tap Shuffle variation in side-by-side position, focusing on transitioning from basic steps to forwards and backwards shuffle rhythms.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start the basic step in side-by-side by stepping forwards with the outside leg and then the inside leg.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders step forwards with the left and back with the right, while followers step forwards with the right and back with the left.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lead the movement by swinging the center forwards and backwards first, not by stepping the leg out.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice four basics before transitioning into the shuffle step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain the same timing in the transition as in previous lessons, but adjust for forwards and backwards movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The body shape and center movement are crucial for leading the shuffle effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>The transition from basic to shuffle step involves the same timing but different directional focus.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on moving the feet under the center rather than stepping the leg out first.</li>
|
||||
<li>This variation builds on previous skills by applying them in a side-by-side context.</li>

<p>COURSE: The Blues Shuffle</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on creating opposition in the side-by-side shuffle, where leaders stay in place while followers move forward, emphasizing body positioning and connection.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders cheat by throwing their center back and upper body forward without moving their feet.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep arms relaxed and adjust body rotation towards your partner for comfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>On the eighth count, leaders bring followers back by not stopping them, just waiting.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice mixing basics, shuffle together, and shuffle in opposition to music.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure weight stays on the right foot during the opposition movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Opposition involves leaders staying stationary while followers move, creating a dynamic contrast.</li>
|
||||
<li>Comfort in connection depends on flexibility and height differences; adjust arm placement as needed.</li>
|
||||
<li>The shuffle in opposition should feel similar to previous classes, maintaining energy and flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should avoid pulling followers back; instead, let them continue their movement naturally.</li>

<p>COURSE: The Blues Shuffle</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on integrating shuffle footwork variations into open position as independent styling for followers, while leaders maintain basic steps and soft leads, emphasizing relaxation and improvisation.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Shake a little to remind each other to relax if tension is felt during practice.</li>
|
||||
<li>Followers should respect the speed and direction of the leader's lead when adding footwork.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should use a super soft lead, more like a suggestion, for turns.</li>
|
||||
<li>If followers end up offset after styling, don't stop to fix it; keep dancing and see it as an opportunity.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Tension in the arms communicates limitation to the partner, so keep arms relaxed.</li>
|
||||
<li>It's common to tense up when improvising, but relaxation enhances connection and creativity.</li>
|
||||
<li>Offset positions after styling are not a problem; they can lead to new dance opportunities.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders and followers can both add variations independently without needing explicit leads.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Initiate movement from the center, swinging hips back while keeping the chest open and head up.</li>
|
||||
<li>Roll feet softly, connecting with the ball first then transferring weight to the heel to avoid noise.</li>
|

|

<li>For styling, straighten legs and widen stance during the swing for a more defined shape.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on applying the out and in shuffle as an independent styling variation, with leaders doing basic steps and leading turns while followers add the variation with relaxed arms.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Keep the swing small and under the body to avoid moving too much backwards and forwards.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus more on the out movement rather than the back swing for easier following.</li>
|

<li>Leaders can throw in the shuffle variation for any number of counts, such as eight or four.</li>
|

<li>Play with body shape by moving up, down, left, and right to enhance styling.</li>
|

<li>Add the out and in variation wherever desired during the dance.</li>
|

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

<li>Keep the swing controlled to stay in place and follow leads effectively.</li>

<p>COURSE: The Blues Shuffle</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on teaching the low down move in the Blues Shuffle, specifically the solo version with shuffle rhythm, including proper technique and transitions from the basic step.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on the right leg and do four basics before dropping onto the left to enter the low down.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure the hip joint, knee, and foot are aligned in the same line to avoid pain.</li>
|
||||
<li>Move your upper body towards the bent leg instead of just dancing from the lower body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transition by dropping under your body and then stepping out with the other leg.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice without jumping; keep at least one foot on the floor at all times.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain good alignment with weight on the leg under your body during the low down.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid jumping; the movement should involve stepping and replacing without both feet leaving the floor.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on smooth transitions by bringing the leg under your body first before stepping to the side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Coordinate upper body movement with the bent leg to enhance the dance form.</li>

||||
</ul></p>
