<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces the Jookin' Moves course, focusing on solo body movements and rhythms from the Duke joints of the Mississippi Delta, with a goal to teach and apply these movements in partnership.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Focus on body movements rather than traveling steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Emphasise solo body movements and shaping body rhythms.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice movements in both solo and partnership contexts.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Jookin' blues originated in small Duke joints with limited space.</li>
|
||||
<li>The style prioritises body rhythms over big turns and traveling steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Movements can be adapted from solo to partnership dancing.</li>

|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'rocks' hip movement, focusing on swinging hips side-to-side with split weight, and demonstrates how to incorporate it into partner dancing in various positions.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Stand with feet wider than hip-width apart, knees soft, and hips relaxed for a heavy feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Swing hips from side to side while keeping weight in both legs, avoiding full weight transfer.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a long distance between ribs and hips to accentuate the swing, not isolating or crunching.</li>
|
||||
<li>To enter rocks from a basic step or walk, make a clear weight shift into both legs with confidence.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partner dance, lead rocks by simply doing the movement, transitioning from weight on one side to split weight.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Rocks originated with arm actions called 'milking the cow', but hands can be omitted for a cooler look.</li>
|
||||
<li>This move is one of the few where you use split weight instead of shifting weight to one side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Rocks can be added at the end of moves, such as turns, for a funky effect, especially in open position for more freedom.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice rocks in closed position, close embrace, and open position to integrate them into various dance scenarios.</li>
|
||||
<li>The movement works the same way regardless of entry, emphasizing a relaxed body and smooth hip swing.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep hips relaxed and heels on the ground to stay grounded.</li>
|
||||
<li>Transfer weight by rolling the foot rather than jumping.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a zigzag body shape by sliding ribs while keeping hips stationary.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a triple step timing (one and two) for rhythm.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partnered versions, keep arms attached to the body and move together.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice in both closed position and closed embrace with smaller movements in the latter.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The shunt is not a jump; keep movements heavy and controlled.</li>
|

<li>Isolate upper body movement from the hips to create angular shapes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should initiate moves by doing them themselves to guide partners.</li>
|

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|

<li>Start with the same beginning as regular shunts, then sit back on one leg without releasing forward.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep arms moving slightly to signal your partner to continue their turn during the alternating sequence.</li>

<li>Practice with feet together using toe-heel steps to the side, alternating as you go.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the supporting leg under the body and turn from the hip joint, not the ankle or knee.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lean slightly forward with shoulders over knees to improve balance and maintain a blues posture.</li>
|
||||
<li>Start the move with toe or heel first depending on preference and transition from previous steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a dead leg that brushes along the floor when traveling to the side for easier movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with rhythms: try eight counts, four counts, or faster variations like three turns per count.</li>

<li>Start with weight on the right foot and do two-count basics in place before adding rotation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add a hip push when rotating to each corner, keeping feet in place and twisting the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Incorporate a scoop around the back as you transfer weight to the other leg for the final layer.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with arms extended to visualize the ribbon-like shape of the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep heels on the floor to avoid popping up and maintain relaxed, heavy hips with bent knees.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a mirror to check your form and press an imaginary 'deflate button' to release tension.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The move is named after hitting four corners of an imaginary box with your hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>It can be adapted in size from subtle to large swings for stylistic variation.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partner dancing, communicate through arm connection without forcing the move on your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Travel the move by stepping slightly forward instead of collecting the leg under the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>It works well as a substitution for basic steps in both closed and open positions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on swinging the hips softly with momentum rather than pushing them for a natural flow.</li>

|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on the right, step back on the left while rotating to the corner, and keep weight in the heel during turns.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice keeping the upper body facing forwards while the lower body rotates, using a wall for support to maintain alignment.</li>
|
||||
<li>Swing the hip back on each step to emphasize the butt movement, imagining showing your back pocket to someone in front.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep steps small and under the body to enhance hip visibility and avoid overextending.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the fishtail as a substitution for the basic step, maintaining pulse or smoothing it out for different textures.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partner dancing, lead the fishtail by rotating the body on a touch step, keeping the connection relaxed.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The fishtail is versatile and can be adapted with different pulses or smooth movements for varied effects.</li>
|
||||

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the traveling fishtail movement in jookin, focusing on weight transfers and adding fishtail styling while traveling sideways. The goal is to practice solo and partnered variations with clear communication between leaders and followers.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on left foot and practice step, together, step, hold pattern before adding fishtail.</li>
|
||||
<li>Substitute the step hold with a fishtail around the corner for backward steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Increase presence and energy slightly when transitioning to half fishtail to signal changes to your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice alternating step touch with weight on one leg for two counts versus transferring weight every count.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain relaxation in muscle tone while making clear weight transfers for effective leading.</li>
|
||||
<li>Walk sideways for as long as desired before adding the fishtail for musical improvisation.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Clear weight transfers are key for partnering the traveling fishtail movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Always assume you can improve rather than blaming your partner when something goes wrong.</li>
|
||||
<li>Mix up step patterns to practice genuine leading and following in partnerships.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relaxation in the body allows for leading complicated variations effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use slight increases in energy, not muscle tension, to communicate changes in movement.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the single time fishtail, a faster version of the fishtail move performed on every beat, with the goal of practicing it both solo and partnered to enhance lead and follow skills.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep steps small and under the body for control at speed.</li>
|
||||
<li>Collect the free leg on the 'and' count to maintain balance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Communicate weight transfer clearly when partnered to indicate tempo changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Increase body tone slightly for the fast fishtail to signal the change.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The pivot happens on the 'and' count while the step is on the main beat.</li>
|
||||
<li>Single time fishtail is faster with a pulse every count, not double.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partnership requires leaders to signal tempo shifts for followers to adapt.</li>
|
||||
<li>This move practices musicality and lead-follow dynamics effectively.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Get Down' move, a walking variation in jookin that emphasizes deep steps with hip-led movement and attitude.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Lead the step from the hip as if a rope is pulling it forward.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the stepping foot facing the direction of travel to maintain a straight line.</li>
|
||||
<li>Relax the arm in partner work to avoid blocking or discomfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Slide the hand back into closed position when transitioning from side-by-side to closed.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Attitude is essential for this move; it doesn't work if you're worried about being pretty.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain an asymmetric body shape with a twist between the upper body and hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>Adapt the move to your body's flexibility and comfort level; individual style matters.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partner work, create space when going down by not staying too close side-by-side.</li>

|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Get Down Around the World' move, combining a get down walking style with a turning move, focusing on leading and following through body rotation and hand positioning.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Let the hands dance by relaxing the grip, allowing them to naturally adjust positions during turns.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the hands low and near the follower's right hip to maintain connection without excessive arm movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Pivot on the standing leg during turns and step with the free leg for smoother transitions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a wide, powerful squat when getting down to add style and take up space effectively.</li>
|
||||
<li>Wait to feel the leader's rotation or step before moving, rather than anticipating or acting independently.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Lead turns and steps through body rotation, not by moving the arms, to ensure clear communication between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed hand connection to allow natural movement and avoid rigid grips during the dance.</li>
|
||||
<li>The exit involves joining together on the fourth repetition without pivoting, smoothly transitioning back to a closed position.</li>
|
||||
<li>Layer the get down walking style on top of the basic step to add extra flair and match the music's rhythm.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the low downs move in jookin, focusing on transitioning from a basic step to a low, grounded position with side leg movements while maintaining body alignment and energy flow.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep the legs underneath the body with the center of the move staying in place.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure the knee is over the toes when weight is on a leg to avoid pain.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add hip action to the free leg for more sass without transferring weight.</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid jumping by staying grounded and rolling through the feet during weight transfers.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use a mirror to check leg alignment during practice.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a powerful shape by imagining a line of energy from the ground through the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>The tempo of low downs should adapt to the music for comfort and style.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partnership, communicate the move through weight transfer and body shape, not leg movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the whole body dancing to avoid a stale look and enhance bluesy feel.</li>

||||
