<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson is a warm-up focused on connecting with your body through gentle movements and breathing to prepare for dancing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Stand with feet under your hips and sink into the ground like sand to feel grounded.</li>
<li>Move small and organically without stretching or pulling to loosen up the skin around your bones.</li>
<li>Breathe deeply throughout the warm-up to enhance relaxation and body awareness.</li>
<li>Allow movement to flow naturally from the top of your head down to your arms and fingers.</li>
<li>Shake or wiggle body parts like arms, hips, and feet to release tension and warm up muscles.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Focus on feeling your body rather than performing specific or isolated movements.</li>
<li>Maintain a relaxed posture with a long spine by imagining an upward pull from the head.</li>
<li>Engage and release muscles gently, such as in the lower abdomen and sacrum, to activate without strain.</li>
<li>Incorporate breathing and weird noises to stay loose and connected during the warm-up.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on a variation of twisting hips called horizontal grinds, teaching how to twist hips forward and back by bending one knee at a time while keeping weight on the bent leg.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Keep your feet hips-width apart and find a pendular pulse to warm up.</li>
<li>Bend one knee while keeping the other straight to create a diagonal hip movement to the back.</li>
<li>Ensure your weight is on the bent leg by checking in a mirror or with a partner.</li>
<li>Allow your foot to be soft, rolling through the ball and heel for smooth motion.</li>
<li>Keep your knees facing forward and avoid letting them go to the side during the movement.</li>
<li>Initiate movements from the hips, letting the leg follow naturally for variations like foot fans.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Horizontal grinds involve twisting hips forward and back, distinct from lateral swings.</li>
<li>The movement is similar to Cuban motion in Latin dances or a kizomba walk from African dances.</li>
<li>Practice variations like foot fans or heel fans by rotating the foot on the heel as the axis.</li>
<li>Maintain length through the spine and keep the chest soft to support the twisting sensation.</li>
<li>These movements can also be called trucking, apple jacks, or digs in different dance contexts.</li>
<li>Consistent practice is key, as mastering grinds may take time and patience.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on footwork variations for heels and toes, building coordination and strength in the ankles and feet through exercises like rocking, twisting, and oppositional movements.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Drive the footwork from the hips to create motion and add a pulse for rhythm.</li>
<li>Use the ball of the foot for pushing off the floor, especially in moves like the James Brown version.</li>
<li>Practice moving feet opposite each other, starting with one foot tapping or switching heels and toes.</li>
<li>Let the leg trail behind in moves like dead leg or peg leg for a cool look.</li>
<li>Don't overthink it; just go and allow your body to figure out the coordination naturally.</li>
<li>Add hips rocking forward and back to enhance the three-dimensional movement.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Warm up feet by rocking weight between heels and toes to prepare for more complex variations.</li>
<li>Incorporate hips and ankles to drive movements, making it easier to lead and follow in dance.</li>
<li>Build strong ankle and foot muscles through repetitive coordination exercises.</li>
<li>Experiment with both perfect and messy versions of moves to find what works for your style.</li>
<li>Use techniques from previous lessons, like linear hips, to support footwork motions.</li>
<li>Practice tick tocks or oppositional footwork to improve timing and spatial awareness.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on leg movements to the side, teaching two upper body shaping techniques: tilting and sliding, to enhance dance moves like the low down and skip up.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Keep the relationship between your hands on your chest and belly consistent when tilting.</li>
<li>Bend your knees and push your leg out to add accent and style to movements.</li>
<li>Push your foot onto the floor and send your hip past it for a press move.</li>
<li>Use a little hop or smooth transitions to vary the movement dynamics.</li>
<li>Maintain shoulders even to the ground when sliding to create contrast between hips and ribs.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>You can apply all movements while turning and walking to integrate them into your dance.</li>
<li>Shaping involves changing your body's form, such as adding tilt or slide, to direct movement.</li>
<li>The press move is important and can be adapted from other dance techniques like the Four Corners.</li>
<li>Different variations like skip up or shunt depend on regional dance styles and preferences.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on mastering circular hip movements in blues dance, starting with foundational techniques like the pendular pulse and progressing to integrated steps with a soft collect.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Find the hip joint by placing hands in pockets or on the indentation near the legs.</li>
<li>Keep the spine long and knees bent while performing movements to avoid tension.</li>
<li>Practice the pendular pulse by moving hips back and chest forward without straightening knees.</li>
<li>Use a soft collect when stepping to gently close the leg and release hip flexors.</li>
<li>Visualize scooping out a jar of spread to guide the circular hip motion.</li>
<li>Maintain a clear axis from head to foot during steps to stay balanced.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Circular hips enhance movement fluidity and are essential for leading and following in blues dance.</li>
<li>Avoid creating wrinkles in clothing by keeping the spine elongated during bends.</li>
<li>The pendular pulse involves forward-back motion rather than up-down, with hips and chest moving oppositely.</li>
<li>Soft collect allows for balance and freedom in the free leg for responsive dancing.</li>
<li>Practice movements slowly to build muscle memory and reduce frustration.</li>
<li>Focus on internal joint movement, like massaging the femur in the acetabulum, for smooth execution.</li>

<li>Practice the movements in place, walking forwards, backwards, and rotating to build flexibility.</li>
<li>Incorporate a pendular pulse from part A to start the exercises fluidly.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Each part of the branch can be a standalone move, useful for improvisation in dance.</li>
<li>Maintain a long back and use upper back muscles to support posture during movements.</li>
<li>The 'half moon' or 'crescent moon' shape helps with balance and leading/following in partner work.</li>
<li>Combine forward and back scoops with presses to create the full four corners movement.</li>
<li>Experiment with different foot placements (ball vs. full foot) for varied aesthetics and control.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the under curve hip movement in blues dance, focusing on creating a smile-like or bridge-shaped motion with the hips. The goal is to practice this move in various directions and incorporate weight shifts for variation.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with feet wider than usual and slide hips to one side while lowering into the center.</li>
<li>Use the bottoms of your feet to push through the floor, extending one knee and lowering the other to control hip movement.</li>
<li>For a variation, push more to one side to emphasize the under curve motion.</li>
<li>Add a weight shift to create movement, such as by thinking about digging a hole and throwing the dirt.</li>
<li>Incorporate hand motions like 'milking the cow' to viscerally feel the hip movement.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The under curve is a split-weight move with the axis in the center, allowing for resilience and dynamic motion.</li>
<li>This move can be performed as a groove and adapted to different directions, such as diagonally, by adjusting foot placement.</li>
<li>Focus on feeling the movement inside your body, from the pelvic floor to the sacrum, to enhance control and expression.</li>
<li>Take breaks as needed and practice at varying speeds, from small and tiny to bigger movements, to build comfort and skill.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on building from the twisting hips foundation, introducing variations like the fishtail and bake, and integrating them into a fluid improvisation sequence.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start on the ball of the foot and then lower the heel while twisting.</li>
<li>Point your finger in the direction your toe is going to guide turns.</li>
<li>For the fishtail, turn on the center or ball of the foot with the heel grazing the ground.</li>
<li>For the bake, turn on the heels instead of the ball of the foot.</li>
<li>Add a shake (up and down) and shimmy (forward and back) to create the shake and bake.</li>
<li>Use the arm to point in sync with foot movements for smoother rotations.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Names like fishtail and bake are suggestions; focus on the specific techniques they describe.</li>
<li>Infinite inversions are possible for moves like the fishtail, encouraging creativity.</li>
<li>Integrate previous moves like Elvis knees and apple jacks into new sequences for fluidity.</li>
<li>Remember to push back on the hips as practiced in earlier lessons for under curve movements.</li>
<li>Practice turning on different parts of the foot (ball vs. heel) to master variations.</li>
<li>Improvise by combining moves like twist, fishtail, and bake for a dynamic performance.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson demonstrates a series of jazz dance steps in alphabetical order, taught by Chester Whitmore, with historical context and variations.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>For Apple Jacks, use accent rhythms on the one count as preparatory movements.</li>
<li>In the box step, start with the left foot forward, then right, back, and cross.</li>
<li>For the cool breeze, glide into a grapevine strut and pop into it with music changes.</li>
<li>In crazy legs, perform a double up step pattern with alternating legs.</li>
<li>For the crossover, distinguish it from cross step by having legs cross in movement rather than going straight to destination.</li>
<li>In the pec step, emulate a chicken with pointing movements, popularized by groups like the Jackson 5.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Many jazz steps have historical origins, such as the black ball from the 1920s Charleston craze.</li>
<li>Steps like the T-O-B break originate from theater circuits and tap dancing traditions.</li>
<li>Variations of steps evolve with music eras, like the cool breeze adapting from 1950s to 1970s.</li>
<li>Accent rhythms are key for preparatory movements in steps like Apple Jacks.</li>
<li>Some steps, like the cakewalk, involve forward or backward movement with rhythmic hits.</li>
<li>Steps can be seductive or expressive, such as fingertips in blues categories.</li>

<p>COURSE: blues-moves-family-tree</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson explains the anatomy of the hip joint, covering its bones, ligaments, and muscles to understand movement in dance.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Identify the greater and lesser trochanters on the femur for better bone recognition.</li>
<li>Use the three pelvic parts (ilium, pubis, ischium) to locate ligaments easily.</li>
<li>Remember the acetabulum as the pelvic socket where the femur head articulates.</li>
<li>Note the ligament of the head of the femur for joint stability insights.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The hip joint is a synovial ball-and-socket joint allowing multiple movements like abduction and rotation.</li>
<li>Articular cartilage and synovial fluid reduce friction and prevent osteoarthritis.</li>
<li>The pelvis consists of three regions: ilium, pubis, and ischium, crucial for ligament attachment.</li>
<li>The pubic symphysis allows slight movement between pelvic halves, important in activities like childbirth.</li>
</ul></p>
