<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the fishtail dance move, focusing on its versatility and the instructor's method, with goals of mastering rotation, hip movement, and step control.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on the right, rotate slightly to the corner, and step back on the left while keeping weight on the left.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the weight in the heel and let the toe move during rotation to maintain stability.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice against a wall with hands placed wider than shoulder-width to keep the upper body facing forwards while rotating the lower body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Swing the hip back as you step down, emphasizing the butt cheek to create the fishtail motion.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep steps small and under the body to enhance hip visibility and avoid overextending.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The fishtail involves rotating the lower body while keeping the upper body facing forwards to create a twist effect.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed posture with heavy hips and shoulders over the knees throughout the move.</li>
|
||||
<li>The move can be performed with a double pulse for a groovy feel or smoothed out by removing the pulse for emphasis on the step down.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the wall practice method to ensure steps stay within hand distance and upper body remains stable.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on showing the back pocket or hip to someone in front to achieve the correct hip swing and rotation.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Start with weight on the left and practice step, together, step, hold before adding the fishtail.</li>
|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|

<li>Clap along with the rhythm to internalize the timing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the footwork without the fishtail first, starting with weight on the right foot.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the ball of the foot for the 'and' steps instead of full flat steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a slow, relaxed pace to avoid rushing the steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure each step, especially the middle ball step, is given equal importance and time.</li>

|

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>

<li>The rhythm involves three steps within two beats, with the first step elongated and the others quicker.</li>

<li>Practice the triple rhythm without the fishtail first to master the foot timing: one and two, three and four.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep feet under the hips, not outside the body, for easier integration with the fishtail.</li>
|

<li>Use the ball of the foot for the 'and' step, avoiding a full backward weight shift.</li>

<li>Change the angle of the leg before stepping backwards to facilitate turns in the fishtail.</li>

<li>Start with the weight on the right foot when practicing the rhythm.</li>

<li>The triplet rhythm involves three actions per count, making it faster than previous rhythms.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>

<li>Swing the left hip back slightly while opening it, not directly backwards.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the hip bump action small and staccato, avoiding large movements.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start the action from the hips, not the legs, letting the leg follow naturally.</li>
|

<li>Use the left foot as a stabilizer or shift some weight into the heel for balance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the rhythm as pop, step, pop, step, adjusting timing based on the music.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transition into hip bumps mid-fishtail or start directly with them, adapting counts as needed.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The hip bump adds an extra swing to the hips before stepping in the fishtail.</li>
|

<li>There are no strict counts; focus on a cheeky rhythm layered on top of the fishtail.</li>
|
||||
<li>The action is hip-driven, with the leg moving passively underneath.</li>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>

<li>Make fishtails tiny by keeping the figure of eight hip action and foot pivoting while staying in place.</li>
|
||||
<li>Exaggerate large fishtails by going low and wide, using arms to emphasize the size.</li>
|
||||
<li>Combine small and big fishtails asymmetrically, such as small on one hip and big on the other.</li>
|
||||
<li>Style slow, quick quick rhythms by making quicks small and slows big.</li>
|
||||
<li>Change texture by making fishtails smooth and flowing, sharp with power, bumpy with a jerky pulse, or thick as if pushing through honey.</li>

||||
