<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on improvising with momentum in single-axis turns, teaching how to vary the speed of turns for comfort and dynamic expression.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leads can adjust the turn's speed or stop completely without moving the follower off axis.</li>
<li>Followers can play with momentum by holding their lower body back and then speeding up.</li>
<li>Use facial expressions and eye contact to communicate intentional changes in speed.</li>
<li>Practice slowing down, stopping, and catching up with the partner's momentum.</li>
<li>Ensure changes feel intentional and not reactive to every bit of resistance.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Momentum adjustment is a two-way street; both partners should be prepared to adapt.</li>
<li>Changes should be made for comfort or dynamic effect, not automatically in response to resistance.</li>
<li>Maintain clear communication through body language and facial cues to understand partner needs.</li>
<li>Keep the turn on axis even when varying speed or stopping.</li>
<li>Intentional changes enhance the dance's dynamic and connection.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on exploring shapes and levels in single-axis turns, encouraging dancers to experiment with variations in posture and height while maintaining balance and rotational energy.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Lower your level to increase speed and feel more grounded.</li>
<li>Play with extremes of high and low levels independently of speed.</li>
<li>Use rotational energy to inspire creative shapes like spirals and twists.</li>
<li>As a follower, combine level changes with shape variations for better expression.</li>
<li>As a lead, focus more on level changes while staying prepared and stable.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Level and speed can be adjusted independently, but lowering often aids faster movement.</li>
<li>Shapes and levels naturally complement each other, especially for followers.</li>
<li>Experiment with bizarre shapes to enhance creativity and balance in turns.</li>
<li>Leads and follows can play with levels separately to suit their roles.</li>
<li>Use the axis as a foundation while varying levels and shapes for dynamic expression.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches an inside turn entrance into a single-axis turn, focusing on body rotation and creating a pathway for movement.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Rotate your body as you step in on your left side to transmit rotation into the turn.</li>
<li>Step back on your right and open your body up to create a pathway for traveling through.</li>
<li>Catch with the hand to create the axis and help form the basket position.</li>
<li>Allow momentum to continue slightly after the catch to deepen connection and improve stability.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The entrance sets up the turn by using body rotation to initiate movement.</li>
<li>Creating a clear pathway with steps and body opening facilitates smooth travel into the turn.</li>
<li>The hand catch helps establish the axis but is minimal in effort.</li>
<li>Variations can be applied once in the basket position for creative expression.</li>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a single-axis pivot turn for followers, focusing on body rotation and unwinding to execute a smooth turn into a basket position.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Wind up your body by rotating into your left shoulder as you step onto your right foot.</li>
<li>Unwind your body on the spot to maintain rotational energy without linear motion.</li>
<li>Keep your arms in a set shape, not tense, to provide compression for the follower's turn.</li>
<li>Followers should actively respond to the lead's arm shape and push off for the turn.</li>
<li>Leads can catch the follower's momentum early for a smoother transition into the basket.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Use body rotation, not arms, to avoid throwing your partner off balance.</li>
<li>The turn relies on rotational energy only, with no directional or sideways energy from the lead.</li>
<li>Maintain a consistent axis to keep the follower spinning in place.</li>
<li>Timing of catching the follower can vary, but earlier catching often feels more fluid.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the basic single-axis turn, focusing on creating a gentle basket shape with the arms to help the follower stay balanced on one axis without traveling.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Take a step to the lead's right and follower's left, letting the upper body drift to offset positions.</li>
<li>Set a gentle basket shape with the arms, avoiding tension or squeezing.</li>
<li>As a lead, create momentum and let the follower decide how to use it, maintaining autonomy.</li>
<li>Keep the same distance from your partner to maintain a consistent circle radius and axis.</li>
<li>Followers can lean into the lead slightly to test balance, with tone increasing only as a reaction.</li>
<li>Practice staying on a single axis regardless of foot placement, focusing on balance over specific steps.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The move should feel effortless, with the lead helping the follower stay on one axis without controlling foot placement.</li>
<li>Autonomy is important; leads initiate movement but do not place the follower.</li>
<li>The arm shape is set but not tense, forming a gentle basket between partners.</li>
<li>Maintain a consistent distance to prevent pulling or pushing the follower off axis.</li>
<li>Balance should be over the axis, with tension only needed if balance is lost.</li>
<li>Focus on turning on the spot without traveling side to side or around.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson covers exits from single-axis turns, focusing on how both leaders and followers can initiate the exit and adapt footwork accordingly.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders can shift the axis in any direction, with forward and back being easiest.</li>
<li>Followers can exit independently if they feel motion sick or the music phrasing suggests it.</li>
<li>Exits vary based on weight placement, leading to mirrored or same-leg footwork.</li>
<li>For same-leg exits, leaders cut out one step to maintain momentum.</li>
<li>Practice exits initiated by either partner to see how footwork changes.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Both leaders and followers can be responsible for exiting the turn.</li>
<li>Footwork at exit depends on the follower's actions and timing of the axis shift.</li>
<li>Mirrored-leg exits are straightforward, while same-leg exits require adjusted steps.</li>
<li>Leaders should signal readiness to move on after exiting.</li>
<li>Adapt exits based on partner comfort and musical cues.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on follower variations in single-axis turns, specifically exploring creative body shapes and grounding techniques to enhance balance and styling.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Ground yourself by thinking of your energy going down into the ground like a corkscrew.</li>
<li>Keep your weight on your left leg and let the right leg relax and go out to the side.</li>
<li>Use your left arm for solid connection and support if needed during the turn.</li>
<li>Add leg circles with the right leg like a paintbrush on the floor for extra styling.</li>
<li>Sink down into the floor to maintain balance while turning.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a grounded and balanced posture to reduce pressure on your partner.</li>
<li>Focus on body shape and creativity to add personal styling to the turn.</li>
<li>Ensure a solid arm connection for support without leaning heavily on your partner.</li>
<li>Exit the turn smoothly by bringing yourself back up and shifting axis when ready.</li>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a follower variation for single-axis turns, focusing on creating a twisted spiral shape in the body while turning and exiting smoothly.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Shift weight onto the right leg and ground yourself like a corkscrew into the floor.</li>
<li>Let the left leg drag behind to form a spiral shape, and step through to exit the turn.</li>
<li>Relax your arms and spine to enhance flexibility and maintain the spiral shape.</li>
<li>Keep your body facing into the basket to stay connected with your leader during the turn.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The spiral shape in the body adds aesthetic beauty and makes the turn easier by maintaining connection.</li>
<li>Flexibility in the spine is key to achieving the twisted, torque-like shape similar to wringing out a towel.</li>
<li>Exiting on the right leg can create a nice spiral effect for a smoother transition out of the turn.</li>
</ul></p>

<li>Hook your right leg behind the other leg as a proper step, placing your weight fully on it.</li>
<li>Walk out of the hook step to continue dancing fluidly.</li>
<li>Change the timing slightly to accentuate the hook for stylistic effect.</li>
<li>Practice the move solo first to build confidence before trying with a partner.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain the same space between you and your partner to avoid shifting their axis.</li>
<li>Juggle awareness of your partner's axis and your own body movements simultaneously.</li>
<li>Ensure the cross step does not affect the upper body or frame, keeping it as an extra layer underneath.</li>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches leader variation 2, focusing on incorporating triple steps while walking around, with an option to add a heel scuff for a percussive effect.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Add a heel scuff by softly scuffing the floor on the way into the triple step.</li>
<li>Keep the heel scuff quiet in social dances to avoid excessive noise.</li>
<li>Practice triple steps as triple step, triple step, triple step in normal timing.</li>
<li>Add or remove triple steps flexibly during the movement.</li>
<li>Maintain timing and momentum while walking around with triple steps.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The heel scuff should be a soft, quietly percussive action.</li>
<li>Followers should stay on their axis to keep it simple.</li>
<li>The variation does not necessarily change the timing or momentum.</li>
<li>Come out of the movement just like normal.</li>
<li>Practice with a song to integrate the steps smoothly.</li>

<p>COURSE: aa / single-axis-turns</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on rhythmic footwork improvisation while maintaining a single axis, allowing followers to join in with rhythms without shifting weight or position.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Improvise with any rhythms in your feet, keeping them small and directly under the body.</li>
<li>Followers should stay on a single axis without shifting side to side or forwards and back.</li>
<li>Leaders should maintain the same momentum and rate of motion during rhythmic footwork.</li>
<li>Keep about the same distance from your partner to avoid pulling them, as this works best without weight share.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Rhythmic footwork is easier when both partners hold their own weight, allowing independent rhythms.</li>
<li>The variation works well when not in a weight share, enabling personal improvisation.</li>
<li>Practice by watching the instructors for ideas before joining in with your own rhythms.</li>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation for the catch on the follower's left side, focusing on a similar beginning but a different ending where leaders turn their body and move away to link arms or transition to closed position.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should turn their body slightly toward the follower's direction and move out of the way during the catch.</li>
<li>Followers should keep their arms at an available mid-height to easily link arms when the leader offers.</li>
<li>Practice the sequence slowly: step, step, step, and walk together to ensure smooth execution.</li>
<li>From linked arms, quickly drop the arm and place it on the partner's left side to transition to closed position.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The beginning of the catch is the same as previous lessons, maintaining consistency in the initial steps.</li>
<li>Keeping arms at a ready height helps followers catch cues and link arms efficiently during turns.</li>
<li>This variation emphasizes adaptability in connection, allowing for either linked arms or immediate closed positions.</li>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding dynamics to catches by varying speed and musicality, teaching techniques to slow down and speed up movements for different musical contexts.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should slow down before the last steps to signal followers in advance.</li>
<li>Followers should roll through their feet to control step speed gradually.</li>
<li>Maintain an upright upper body and use hip movement to create stretch.</li>
<li>Add rotation in the body to maintain stretch without tipping over.</li>
<li>Use whole-body energy, not just feet, to communicate faster rhythms like triple steps.</li>
<li>Keep arms relaxed and allow them to stretch for better movement flow.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Dynamics in catches allow moves to fit various songs and musical moments.</li>
<li>Control exits by stepping every beat, regardless of how slow the catch is.</li>
<li>Practice slowing down to elongate moments for musical expression.</li>
<li>Communicate speed changes through body energy to guide your partner effectively.</li>
<li>Avoid jumping during fast rhythms; keep energy grounded and roll through steps.</li>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson explores continuous catches on the follower's left side, focusing on two repeatable methods involving sends, turns, and arm connections.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders turn their body on the fourth step to come back side by side.</li>
<li>Give extra energy to the follower on the send-out to maintain direction and speed.</li>
<li>Followers should keep arms super relaxed and maintain the sent direction.</li>
<li>Use a gentle link arm connection before dropping it to go straight into another catch.</li>
<li>Allow the connection to be active and moving constantly to avoid tension.</li>
<li>Practice with music to integrate the movements smoothly.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Avoid connecting too hard or tensing arms to prevent delays in transitions.</li>
<li>Maintain a fluid and active connection throughout the sequence.</li>
<li>Focus on body alignment and footwork, especially on the fourth step.</li>
<li>The link arm move is subtle, almost like knocking the arm out of the way.</li>
<li>Continuous catches rely on timing and energy transfer between partners.</li>
<li>Practice until comfortable to avoid dizziness or boredom.</li>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches three options for catches from a closed position, focusing on the leader's movement variations while the follower maintains a straight-line turn.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders catch with the right hand as soon as they see the follower's back.</li>
<li>Followers should turn on a straight line, using floorboards as a practice guide.</li>
<li>For the third option, leaders step with the right foot out to move to the other side.</li>
<li>Maintain rotation on the last step if it feels longer than normal.</li>
<li>Practice with music to enhance timing and enjoyment.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Followers turn consistently on a straight line regardless of the leader's position.</li>
<li>Leaders decide the ending by staying in front, moving right, or moving left.</li>
<li>The catch is initiated by placing the right hand when the follower's back is visible.</li>
<li>All options start and end in closed position for continuity.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to perform catches from close embrace, focusing on transitioning into a catch and returning to close embrace with three different options.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders pivot on the right foot between steps two and three to create momentum for the catch.</li>
<li>Followers should let momentum carry them into separation without feeling pulled, avoiding rushing the third step.</li>
<li>When returning to close embrace, leaders keep the hand connection and give followers time to get the arm over to prevent collisions.</li>
<li>In option two, leaders stay on a straight line without moving out of the way, allowing followers to walk into them at the end of the turn.</li>
<li>In option three, leaders step onto the right to get out of the way early for a smooth transition back to close embrace.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a connection with your partner during the catch without letting go completely to ensure control and balance.</li>
<li>Avoid rushing steps, especially the final ones, to stay balanced and centered under your body.</li>
<li>The three options for catches are similar to previous lessons but adapted for closer starting and ending positions in close embrace.</li>
<li>Mix and match the catch options based on the dance context to enhance fluidity and variety in movement.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Catch and Rewind' move, focusing on executing a catch without turning and rewinding back to the starting position, practiced from both closed and close embrace positions.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should step out of the way to allow space for the catch and rewind.</li>
<li>Use shoulder turns and looking over the shoulder as signals for the rewind movement.</li>
<li>Absorb into the floor and wait to feel the rewind instead of anticipating a turn.</li>
<li>In close embrace, keep the right hand positioned correctly to help the partner rotate.</li>
<li>Followers should keep their feet under their body throughout the rotation.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The timing of the catch is crucial; connect as soon as you see your partner's back.</li>
<li>This move requires both leader and follower to absorb and redirect energy without turning.</li>
<li>Practice in close embrace involves less space, so keep movements small and controlled.</li>
<li>Avoid rebounding by waiting for the lead instead of assuming the next action.</li>
<li>The move enhances lead-follow skills by emphasizing precise communication and response.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson builds on the catch and rewind by adding an extra rotation and a dramatic slide at the end, focusing on fluid movement and momentum.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Connect with the leader as soon as possible after the catch.</li>
<li>Make the last step bigger by adding a slide or dramatic movement.</li>
<li>Leaders should leave enough space for the follower's arm to go over during the turn.</li>
<li>Followers should keep turning until stopped by the leader after release from the catch.</li>
<li>Leaders should prepare for the slide while turning, keeping weight on the left foot.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The move can be performed starting and finishing in close embrace with adjusted connection.</li>
<li>Avoid rushing the closing brace to prevent getting trapped in the middle.</li>
<li>Fluidity is key, with the leader following the follower's momentum during the turn.</li>
<li>Ensure space is maintained between partners to allow for smooth arm movements.</li>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches multiple endings for catches in dance, focusing on options where leaders don't move out of the way and followers walk into their partner, including adding a lunge.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should connect on their partner's right side when coming back into close embrace.</li>
<li>For the lunge, leaders should open up slightly, hinge forward, and keep the right leg straight with upper body toward the partner.</li>
<li>Followers should maintain momentum from the turn and think of the lunge as a slight slide into the right leg, not pushing weight down all at once.</li>
<li>Practice the lunge by slowly transferring weight, relaxing the pelvis, and absorbing into the ground before standing back up.</li>
<li>Ensure arms are relaxed during movements to avoid pushing partners off balance.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain the momentum set up in the turn even after the turn stops.</li>
<li>Timing is crucial for transitions, especially when adding the lunge at the end.</li>
<li>Leaders initiate exits by transferring weight slowly and communicating changes to their partner.</li>
<li>Followers should wait to feel what's happening next rather than preempting the move.</li>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of catching the follower on the other side, focusing on maintaining connection during a send-out and executing a smooth turn with a side lunge finish.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders: Keep the hand low with palm up, and place it on the follower's side at the middle for better distance and rotation.</li>
<li>Followers: Feel a tiny stretch before taking the first step and allow rotation to continue naturally into the catch.</li>
<li>Leaders: Step back in a straight line to bring the follower's left side forward and set up rotation.</li>
<li>For the side lunge, leaders roll through the foot to absorb the movement, and followers keep the left leg straight with a relaxed body.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a parallelogram shape with feet on one line to ensure proper spacing and rotation.</li>
<li>The catch should be on the side, not too far back or front, to give followers space for body rotation.</li>
<li>Leaders can release the hand after the send-out as it's no longer needed, and reconnect if repeating the move.</li>
<li>The dip in the ending should continue the follower's travel line without changing the angle for a smoother feel.</li>
</ul></p>

<li>Practice the lift on the spot before adding movement or kicks.</li>
<li>Maintain a strong frame with shoulder blades down to prevent injury.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Focus on up-and-down movement, not throwing weight backwards, to maintain balance and safety.</li>
<li>Technique and control are more important than height or adding kicks.</li>
<li>Both partners must actively engage their core muscles to support the lift.</li>
<li>Leaders are responsible for positioning the follower correctly during the entry steps.</li>
<li>A successful lift allows for a stable hold, indicating good technique for progression.</li>

<li>Instead of moving forward, leaders go back into a lunge after the lift.</li>
<li>Control the movement during the lift and the final step.</li>

<li>This move is ideal for ending a song or accentuating musical breaks.</li>
<li>Maintain control throughout to execute the lunge smoothly.</li>
<li>Use the move to enhance musicality by aligning with song structures.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a spin into a rotational dip, focusing on maintaining connection and frame to achieve smooth rotation and a controlled dip position.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start in side-by-side position with the leader's hand over the follower's right hand, palm down and relaxed.</li>
<li>Send the follower out with two steps, keeping them close to maintain connection.</li>
<li>Ask the follower to rotate on the spot after the initial steps, using a slight hand lift.</li>
<li>Leaders reconnect with the right hand on the follower's back as they turn, then join the rotation.</li>
<li>In the dip, leaders stay straight and use core muscles, while followers hold around the waist and look elegantly.</li>
<li>For the exit, send the follower out with two steps and reconnect to transition smoothly.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain frame and shoulder connection to allow proper body rotation without breaking the movement.</li>
<li>Followers should rotate only when led with sufficient energy, not just from instruction.</li>
<li>The dip involves a lean without stepping on the final count, keeping weight on the right foot.</li>
<li>Rotational energy should be sustained throughout the move to ease the dip and exit.</li>
<li>Practice with controlled steps and gentle movements to build comfort and precision.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Over The Knee' dip, focusing on achieving the dip position through rotation and maintaining connection between partners.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Followers should keep rolling along the arms during the turn to end up side by side with the leader.</li>
<li>Followers should tuck their right hand around the leader's waist during practice for later use.</li>
<li>The fun dip happens on count five with no steps, where the follower leans their back into the leader's thigh.</li>
<li>Followers should think about rotating around the leader instead of going down into the ground for an easier exit.</li>
<li>Leaders should also think about rotation to make the movement easier and maintain flow.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The dip looks fancy but is simple, with the follower's weight on their right leg during the lean.</li>
<li>Connection is key: follower's left side connects to leader's right side, with arms free and not trapped.</li>
<li>Timing can be adjusted to fit the music, making the turn and dip faster or slower as desired.</li>
<li>Rotation in and out prevents the dip from becoming a static shape and maintains movement flow.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Shake-hand lean' move, focusing on a handshake connection, rotational preparation, and a controlled dip exit.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders step forward to send followers back, creating rotation for the turn.</li>
<li>Followers shuffle through initially without worrying about steps to focus on the turn.</li>
<li>Leaders place the follower's hand on their shoulder during the turn for connection.</li>

<li>Leaders take a big fifth step to the side to position the follower in the middle.</li>
<li>Followers delay their fifth step slightly after the leader's for better balance.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Rotate into the dip rather than going straight down for an easier exit.</li>
<li>Maintain rotational energy and flow throughout the move for a smoother feel.</li>
<li>Open the body to allow the follower to travel on a line during the turn.</li>
<li>Use two points of connection (hands and shoulder) to guide the follower's rotation.</li>
<li>Keep arms relaxed to avoid making the move difficult for the leader.</li>
<li>Exit by unwinding and reversing the steps in the same way as entry.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches 'The Wrap', a dance move involving an inside turn and a seated dip, focusing on trust and dynamic energy between partners.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start in open position with leaders stepping forward and followers stepping back with rotation.</li>
<li>Leaders use their right side and forearm to give followers extra impulse on the fourth step.</li>
<li>Followers should relax their right leg to allow it to fly forward as a side effect of the energy.</li>
<li>Practice slowly to build trust, especially when followers cannot see their leaders during the dip.</li>
<li>Change rhythm at the beginning to make the move more dynamic, using faster turns for easier execution.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Trust your partner during the dip, as followers rely on leaders for support when off-balance.</li>
<li>Maintain a slight stretch in the arms without creating too much space between partners.</li>
<li>Energy should be sent forward, with followers leaning into their own arms for a stretch.</li>
<li>Leaders should keep their shoulders down and core strong to provide stability.</li>
<li>The move requires coordination and practice with a partner to ensure safety and dramatic effect.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Suspended Pivot Turn, an elegant dip that involves a controlled turn with maintained connection and space between partners.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders maintain a straight line while shuffling around like penguins during the pivot.</li>
<li>Followers stay on their left foot until they feel the leader tip them off their axis.</li>
<li>Use the space between bodies for counterbalance during the turn.</li>
<li>Followers connect their arm across the leader's shoulder just after feeling the leader's arm connect.</li>
<li>Practice the pivot turn with the entrance to make it easier to get into position.</li>
<li>Followers use their turning energy to push slightly back into the leader's arm.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a solid shape with arms while keeping bodies slightly away from each other for counterbalance.</li>
<li>The pivot turn axis is the leader's left leg which stays in place.</li>
<li>Followers should put weight into their own leg at the end rather than relying entirely on the leader.</li>
<li>The move involves specific step counts: leaders take eight steps total, followers take seven.</li>
<li>Keep strong through the center to maintain a beautiful straight line up the body.</li>
<li>The connection should feel like a catch with rotation prepared in the body.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a side-by-side suspended pivot turn that builds on a previous move, with the key difference being an open hand connection that creates a more dramatic, stretched position.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders take one step less than in the previous version - step, step, shuparub, step, step.</li>
<li>Followers maintain energy in the direction of movement rather than stopping next to the leader.</li>
<li>Followers should think about 'melting' into the position with upper and lower body moving around the connection point.</li>
<li>Practice with the feeling of nearly falling over to find the dramatic edge of the movement.</li>
<li>Leaders use a big, dramatic step to propel themselves in front of the follower during the turn.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The main difference from the previous move is not reconnecting the top hand, creating a more open position.</li>
<li>The pivot turn happens simultaneously with the leader's step, which initiates the rotation.</li>
<li>The connection becomes side-by-side with a sideways lean away from each other rather than front-facing counterbalance.</li>
<li>The movement should feel dramatic, stretchy, and 'gooey' rather than safe and controlled.</li>
<li>Followers use the leader's arm across their back as a reference point for body positioning.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches spinning technique for dance, focusing on exercises to improve spins for both leaders and followers. The goal is to make spinning easier and more controlled through specific tips and practice.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with weight on the left, step forward on the right, and do a half turn towards the right.</li>
<li>Look into the direction you are turning to help guide your body and maintain momentum.</li>
<li>Draw the free leg in under the hip to stay balanced and close to the other leg during the turn.</li>
<li>Activate your center muscles to keep your body in a straight line for better control and speed.</li>
<li>Keep your energy grounded by sending it down into the ground and maintaining a low center of gravity.</li>
<li>Practice full turns by stepping and spinning 360 degrees, then switch to the other leg for balance.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The head is the heaviest part of the body, so looking into the turn helps the body follow naturally.</li>
<li>Staying grounded with energy down improves balance and makes spinning easier.</li>
<li>Maintaining a straight line through core engagement prevents wobbling and enhances spin efficiency.</li>
<li>Practice spinning on both legs to develop balanced skills for future dance moves.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks-2</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a sequence combining a catch, spin, and lunge, focusing on leading and following techniques for smooth transitions and dynamic execution.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should guide followers with body movement, not arm pulling, to initiate spins without discomfort.</li>
<li>Followers should keep feet facing the direction of travel during turns to maintain balance and ease spinning.</li>
<li>Reconnect hands quickly after the spin to prepare for the lunge exit.</li>
<li>Leaders should give rotational energy for spins, not directional energy that moves followers off-center.</li>
<li>Followers can use the lunge to recover balance by falling onto leaders if needed.</li>
<li>Practice the sequence slowly to master timing and connection before speeding up.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain arm availability at mid-waist height during turns for easy connection.</li>
<li>Spins rely on strong core engagement and looking into the turn to stay balanced.</li>
<li>The lunge exit adds drama and can be used to mask balance issues if executed purposefully.</li>
<li>Coordinate body movements with your partner to ensure smooth transitions without pulling.</li>
<li>Focus on foot alignment to enhance spinning efficiency and control.</li>
<li>Use musical timing to refine the sequence for a more dynamic and fluid performance.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a sequence involving a spin, pivot, and dip, focusing on reconnecting at the shoulder blades and using rotational energy for a smooth transition into a dip.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Reconnect with the right hand on the follower's shoulder blades instead of the lower back for this move.</li>
<li>Followers should keep arms up and weight on the right leg during the pivot and spin.</li>
<li>Leaders use small steps around the follower to maintain rotation and balance.</li>
<li>For the spin, leaders let go with the right hand and use the left to boost the follower's rotation on the spot.</li>
<li>In the dip, reconnect under the follower's right armpit for a secure and controlled descent.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Practice pivoting skills with the right leg staying in place to maintain a straight line and distance.</li>
<li>Use the follower's existing rotational momentum to enhance spins and transitions smoothly.</li>
<li>Followers should focus on a strong center and weight in the leg for stability during spins and dips.</li>
<li>It's acceptable to adjust foot placement or hold on for stability when learning, aiming for independence over time.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches an advanced combination sequence involving a lunge, flick, spin, and side dip, focusing on maintaining frame and connection throughout.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Transfer weight forward in the lunge to create disconnection and initiate the flick.</li>
<li>Slide the connection hand closer to the follower's left shoulder blade to create a lock for the pop turn.</li>
<li>Followers should press back with their arm against the leader's arm to actively respond during the spin.</li>
<li>Leaders should close their body slightly to signal the spin without pulling the follower.</li>
<li>Ensure the side dip is delicate by moving your own body first, allowing the follower to follow gently.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Frame is crucial for maintaining connection and preventing disconnection during the lock and spin.</li>
<li>The entire flick and turn sequence occurs with weight on one leg, requiring balance and stability.</li>
<li>Followers must keep their shoulder connected to their body and arm to the side for a strong connection.</li>
<li>Leaders communicate redirection by opening their body, while followers respond to the signal promptly.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Step slightly to the side as a leader to improve connection for the side dip.</li>
<li>Roll the feet while stepping to avoid jumping and keep one foot on the floor.</li>

<li>Use a wave-like body motion to add fluidity to the move.</li>
<li>Keep steps small and under the body for better control.</li>
<li>Leaders should open their body to lead the follower without using the right arm to push.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a close embrace connection throughout the move without over-opening to a flat position.</li>
<li>Followers should wait for the leader's lead and not rush the steps.</li>
<li>Ensure the hips or legs are touching when stepping forward for better partner alignment.</li>
<li>Practice the rhythm as one and two to coordinate timing with the partner.</li>
<li>The side dip exit involves a step to the side and a leg sweep for followers.</li>
<li>Adjust timing of the dip to fit the music and personal style.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a side dip variation on the other side, focusing on transitioning from a turn into a side lunge and exiting with a rotation.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should drop and lift the hand to guide the follower's rotation and place the follower's right hand on the leader's right shoulder.</li>
<li>Followers should keep the leg closest to the leader straight during the side lunge to maintain stability and prevent caving forward.</li>
<li>During the exit, leaders use their whole body to send the follower sideways, initiating a rotation in the follower's upper body.</li>
<li>Followers should think about turning down a line away from the leader after the exit to continue the movement smoothly.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a strong connection between partners throughout the dip and exit to ensure stability and coordinated movement.</li>
<li>The side dip requires precise weight shifts and body positioning to execute safely and effectively.</li>
<li>Practice the transition from the turn to the lunge slowly to build confidence and avoid falls.</li>
<li>The exit involves generating rotation through body movement rather than pushing, emphasizing fluidity and control.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a seated dip move, starting with a preparation and inside turn, and finishing in a seated dip position.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with a preparation and inside turn, then take five steps: forward on one, and four extra steps under the body.</li>
<li>On the fifth step, step wide and squat down to initiate the dip, keeping the connection close to your partner.</li>
<li>Followers should continue rotation during the turn and sink down with the leader, keeping the right leg weighted and centered.</li>
<li>Leaders should ensure the follower's right foot is between their feet for balance, adjusting step size based on the follower's position.</li>
<li>Exit by stepping forward together: leaders step onto the right, followers onto the left, and continue dancing.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The seated dip is unexpected for followers, so maintain rotational energy and body connection to guide the movement smoothly.</li>
<li>Balance is key; ensure the follower's right leg is centered between the leader's feet to avoid awkwardness during the dip.</li>
<li>Communication through body contact helps leaders understand the follower's position and weight distribution for a controlled dip.</li>
<li>The exit involves coordinated stepping to transition back into dancing, with leaders initiating the forward movement.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a seated dip on the opposite side from a previous lesson, focusing on a different entrance and catch technique while maintaining similar dipping mechanics.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders start with weight on the right and followers on the left in closed position.</li>
<li>After two steps, end in a parallelogram with body rotation to match the leader.</li>
<li>Followers should wait for the leader's lead before turning and keep looking in the direction of travel during the turn.</li>
<li>Keep arms at center height for easy reconnection after disconnection.</li>
<li>Leaders reconnect with the left hand first, then body, then step back before dipping.</li>
<li>Exit the dip by stepping out with the left foot for leaders and right foot for followers.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The technique for the seated dip is the same as on the other side, but it feels different due to connecting on the opposite side.</li>
<li>Followers should go straight down during the dip without throwing themselves backwards to control momentum.</li>
<li>Maintain body rotation but avoid overdoing it to prevent imbalance.</li>
<li>Use the catch technique to redirect energy without anticipating the turn too quickly.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the She's Crazy dip, a sequence involving a catch, a pause and flip, and a turn leading to a dip, with emphasis on connection and timing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start from a catch position and ensure you have learned catches before attempting the move.</li>
<li>Leaders should guide followers to take a definite step onto the left leg on count three to maintain linear energy.</li>
<li>Followers should wait for the lead before stepping across on count four to avoid rushing and enjoy the suspension.</li>
<li>Leaders use subtle hand guidance to initiate the turn, allowing followers to complete it naturally.</li>
<li>Practice the step sequence without worrying about connection first, then integrate hand connections for control.</li>
<li>Adjust the speed of the step across based on the music, playing with timing for musicality.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The dip allows for multiple ending options, such as upright, seated, or lower dips, chosen based on comfort and music.</li>
<li>Maintain energy in a linear direction during the sequence to ensure proper stepping and balance.</li>
<li>Connection is key; leaders should reconnect hands early to guide followers securely through the move.</li>
<li>Enjoy the pause in the sequence; it adds beauty and should not be rushed, with timing adaptable to the music.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding dramatic contrast to the She's Crazy Dip II by speeding up turns and incorporating a suspended pause, aiming to enhance the move's visual impact and timing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Perform a fast turn, then suspend the movement in a beautiful pause, followed by a quick flip.</li>
<li>Followers should activate core muscles to execute the flip quickly after the slow suspense.</li>
<li>Engage everything to turn faster than in previous versions when feeling the leader's cue.</li>
<li>Practice the sequence with counts like 'five, six, seven, and...' to coordinate timing.</li>
<li>Ensure movements are continuous by slowing down without stopping, using a fourth step for assistance.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Create contrast in timing by using fast, slow, fast patterns to make the move more dramatic.</li>
<li>Timing depends on the music, so focus on creating contrast rather than fixed counts.</li>
<li>Maintain continuous flow by slowing down without coming to a complete stop.</li>
<li>Apply techniques from previous videos while playing with timing for added effect.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the basic lunge technique for dips and tricks, focusing on proper form and partner connection to build a foundation for more complex moves.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders step back with the left and bow, while followers step forward with the right, keeping weight balanced and upper body relaxed.</li>
<li>Imagine a V key pulling your center back for leaders or forward for followers to initiate the movement smoothly.</li>
<li>Roll the foot when landing to absorb impact and keep the movement controlled and soft.</li>
<li>Followers should slide the foot until touching the partner's boot before committing weight to maintain balance.</li>
<li>Keep hands and arms centered to avoid discomfort and allow both partners to choose their upper body shape freely.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The lunge is a foundational move used throughout the course, so mastering it simplifies more complicated techniques.</li>
<li>Movement starts from the center, not the feet, to lead effectively and maintain partner connection.</li>
<li>Balance is key; avoid stepping too soon to prevent relying on your partner for support.</li>
<li>Upper body shape varies with partner size and should be adaptable rather than fixed.</li>
<li>Practice in close embrace to ensure both partners move together and maintain connection throughout the lunge.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a lunge variation with a leg flick entrance, focusing on coordinated movement between partners and controlled transitions into the lunge.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders flick the left leg forward on count two while swinging the center forward.</li>
<li>Followers relax the right leg to flick backward as the center swings back on count two.</li>
<li>Keep the flicking leg straight if possible, but bending is acceptable based on flexibility.</li>
<li>Control the down into the lunge by attaching toes to the floor and sliding if needed.</li>
<li>Practice with different timings for the flick and lunge entrance to match the music.</li>
<li>Maintain distance from your partner to avoid kicking during the leg flick.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The leg flick does not touch the floor again until the lunge, emphasizing fluid motion.</li>
<li>Partners should synchronize their movements, with leaders moving forward and followers moving backward.</li>
<li>Exaggerate the flick based on energy from your partner for a more dynamic effect.</li>
<li>Adjust your balance by smiling if you feel like falling during the lunge.</li>
<li>Use the slide technique from previous lessons to control the entrance into the lunge.</li>
<li>Timing of the flick and lunge is flexible and should adapt to the song being danced to.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to transition from a turn into a lunge, focusing on body rotation, connection, and footwork to achieve a smooth close embrace.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders rotate their body slightly to prepare the follower without using arm pressure.</li>
<li>Followers step directly under their body during the turn to maintain alignment.</li>
<li>Leaders reconnect hands as soon as they see the follower's back to control distance.</li>
<li>Practice the turn along a line on the floor to test alignment and consistency.</li>
<li>On the fourth step, initiate the swing back to prepare for the lunge while entering close embrace.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Use body movement, not arms, to lead rotation and maintain a parallelogram shape in preparation.</li>
<li>Early connection helps leaders control the distance and travel together with followers during the turn.</li>
<li>The transition into close embrace and lunge should be smooth, with attention to arm placement and timing.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on performing a faster turn into a lunge, building on previous technique by changing the timing and rhythm of the footwork.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Roll through your feet during the turn and avoid jumping to maintain a linear energy pathway.</li>
<li>Leaders should connect quickly with their right arm and lead by moving their body faster, not by pulling with the arm.</li>
<li>Followers should keep energy linear with their partner and avoid panicking or jumping in the turn.</li>
<li>Practice mixing the slow and faster turn versions to improve communication and response to energy differences.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The technique from previous classes remains the same; only the timing and rhythm of the footwork change.</li>
<li>Energy should be sent linearly across the space, with no up-and-down movement during the turn.</li>
<li>Leaders must lead through body movement speed, not by adding tension to the arm.</li>
<li>Followers should feel the difference in the leader's prep and rhythm, not guess the turn type.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the side dip, a simple dip used in partner dancing, focusing on proper technique for leaders and followers to execute it safely and effectively.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders step onto the left leg with a big step, keeping the left bent and right straight, with upper body leaning toward the straight leg.</li>
<li>Ensure a straight line between foot, knee, and hip joint to avoid pain and maintain safety.</li>
<li>Followers keep connection with the leader's hips or thighs, using a straight left leg and optionally crossing the right leg in front as a safety leg.</li>
<li>Activate core muscles to hold yourself upright and avoid putting all body weight onto your partner.</li>
<li>Exit slowly, keeping weight on the left leg for followers and right leg for leaders to continue dancing smoothly.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain correct body positioning, especially when partnered, to prevent falling and ensure balance.</li>
<li>Safety is crucial; avoid incorrect knee alignment and sudden movements that could cause injury.</li>
<li>Followers should stay controlled and engaged, not becoming a heavy burden on the leader.</li>
<li>Practice from a close starting position and avoid attempting the dip from a distance.</li>
<li>This technique will be built upon in future lessons for more complex applications.</li>

<p>COURSE: dips-tricks</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on combining an inside turn with a side dip, teaching leaders to signal followers to stop rotation and step sideways, and followers to respond with appropriate arm styling.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders: On count four, increase arm tone slightly to signal the follower to stop turning and step sideways.</li>
<li>Followers: Feel for directional energy sideways and a subtle arm signal to indicate the change from turn to side step.</li>
<li>Both partners: Open bodies to face the same direction on count four during the transition.</li>
<li>Followers: Choose arm styling based on height; tall followers can reach over the top, shorter ones can keep arms across the body.</li>
<li>Practice the sequence with counts: five, six, seven, and one, two, three, four, down, up, and step.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The movement combines two known parts: an inside turn and a side dip, requiring smooth integration.</li>
<li>Leaders use arm connection to control the follower's rotation and direct weight shift.</li>
<li>Followers should adapt arm positions for comfort and aesthetics, considering partner height differences.</li>
<li>Focus on subtle signals in the arm to communicate changes without disrupting flow.</li>

<p>COURSE: four-corners-special</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the four corners move, a hip-focused dance step that builds from basic steps to a rotating, scooping motion, with the goal of mastering fluid hip movement and transitions.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with weight on the right and do two-count basics in place: step, collect, step, collect.</li>
<li>Add rotation by facing corners without collecting the leg, just twisting in place.</li>
<li>Incorporate a hip push onto the corner when rotating the body.</li>
<li>Add a big scoop around the back as you transfer weight to the other leg.</li>
<li>Practice with arms to visualize the loop shape, like a charity ribbon or hitting four corners of a box.</li>
<li>Keep heels on the floor to avoid popping up and use a relaxed, swinging motion in the hips.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain heavy, relaxed hips with bent knees for a soft, swinging momentum rather than pushing.</li>
<li>Visualize the move as a loop or hitting four corners to understand the shape and name.</li>
<li>Transition into the move from basics by scooping or using a hip push, depending on preference.</li>
<li>Play with the size of the swing to vary the move from subtle to large.</li>
<li>Use a mirror to check technique and press a 'deflate button' to relax tension and keep movements fluid.</li>

<p>COURSE: four-corners-special</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to partner the four corners move in dance, focusing on communication and optional participation without forcing the partner.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start in close position with basic steps before transitioning to four corners.</li>
<li>Leaders change arm connection to the side they step on for more freedom.</li>
<li>Practice the move in open position for individual variation and easier forward travel.</li>
<li>If moving backwards is tricky, do basic steps backwards and four corners forwards.</li>
<li>Use the arm connection to feel the partner's body movement and decide whether to join in.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The four corners is a substitution for the basic step, not a forced lead.</li>
<li>Communication through arm connection helps partners feel each other's movements.</li>
<li>Either partner can choose to add the hip variation for styling.</li>
<li>Leading the move can be complicated due to body separation and rotation.</li>
<li>The move can be adapted for different positions like closed or open.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: four-corners-special</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Four Corners in Opposition' move, focusing on transitioning into and out of opposition while maintaining connection and body rotation.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders start with weight on the right, followers on the left, in closed position.</li>
<li>Imagine a spotlight on your chest to keep facing your partner during body rotations.</li>
<li>Add a pulse to the movement for rhythm and flow.</li>
<li>Swing the hips naturally to change body angles during four corners.</li>
<li>If confused, disconnect and close your eyes to focus on hip flow.</li>
<li>Leaders can use a back-and-forward butt movement to maintain flow in transitions.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain connection by keeping chests facing each other throughout the move.</li>
<li>Both partners are responsible for their own balance, not relying on counterbalance.</li>
<li>Use small steps on the spot when doing four corners to emphasize body rotation.</li>
<li>Practice variations like opposition without hits or adding four corners continuously.</li>
<li>Trust the hip flow to avoid overthinking and maintain natural movement.</li>
<li>Leaders have options to pulse or prepare with a butt swing during transitions.</li>

<p>COURSE: four-corners-special</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to travel the four corners pattern in side-by-side connection, including transitions from and back to opposition.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>To travel forwards, don't bring the leg back in; instead, take your body over the leg that's in front.</li>
<li>Leaders step and push to transition from opposition to side by side, while followers continue their four corners weight shift.</li>
<li>When exiting side by side, leaders turn towards their partner and slide their right hand from the follower's right to left side.</li>
<li>Followers step under their body, feeling like stepping backwards slightly to maintain balance during the release.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The transition into side by side should feel smooth and magical, with followers not noticing a change in their four corners flow.</li>
<li>Practice the sequence as a never-ending loop, combining enclosed, opposition, and traveling four corners patterns.</li>
<li>Maintain the rhythm of a weight shift every two counts throughout the transitions to keep the movement fluid.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: four-corners-special</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to rotate the four corners dance step by adjusting the size of hip scoops to turn the body in place.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Do a bigger scoop in the direction you want to rotate, such as a big scoop to the left to turn left.</li>
<li>Alternate between big and small scoops to facilitate turning, like big scoop left then small scoop right.</li>
<li>Practice turning on one side more than the other to control the rotation effectively.</li>
<li>Use the hips to turn around a corner, emphasizing the scooping motion for direction.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The hip action remains the same, only the scoop size changes for rotation.</li>
<li>Rotation is achieved by doing larger scoops in the turning direction and smaller ones on the opposite side.</li>
<li>This technique is useful for solo practice and will be applied in partner dancing soon.</li>
<li>Turning involves adjusting body position in place without moving from the spot.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on executing a four-corners turn within a dance sequence, specifically teaching how to transition from opposition into an inside turn and back to opposition.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders step onto their left and rotate their body to lead the inside turn.</li>
<li>Followers should take small steps and maintain the basic step-touch movement during the turn.</li>
<li>Leaders connect the left hand to the follower's right side to initiate the turn.</li>
<li>At the end of the turn, leaders drop and release the arm to signal a change.</li>
<li>Practice the sequence starting in close position, moving into opposition, then the turn, and back to opposition.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Ensure both partners maintain the basic step-touch to correctly execute the turn and return to opposition.</li>
<li>The inside turn involves moving the arms between bodies and rotating, with leaders using body rotation to guide direction.</li>
<li>Followers should keep hips moving with a larger scoop to the left to aid rotation during the turn.</li>
<li>Leaders should have the follower's arm pre-available for easy connection when leading the turn.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches leaders how to turn using the four-corners technique, focusing on hand connection, rotation, and maintaining rhythm during the turn.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Connect the left hand towards your body and go under it like shuffling through an arch.</li>
<li>Rotate more on the second and fourth steps of the four corners to create a nice flow.</li>
<li>Drop your elbow during the rotation to avoid discomfort when handling the hand.</li>
<li>If uncomfortable, place the hand on your side, waist, or under your arm instead of overhead.</li>
<li>Leaders push with the left foot to rotate more, while keeping the first and third steps on the spot.</li>
<li>Maintain the rhythm of the hips consistently during the four corners without rushing.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Followers continue their momentum and hip swing unless the leader stops them.</li>
<li>Adjust hand placement based on body size or comfort to ensure a smooth turn.</li>
<li>The turn involves three or four basic steps before returning to opposition.</li>
<li>Leaders should focus on rotating towards the left side during the turn.</li>
<li>Practice the move with basics first to establish foot rhythm before adding rotation.</li>
<li>Ensure a comfortable connection by adapting hand positions as needed during the rotation.</li>

<p>COURSE: four-corners-special</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the 'Back to front' variation of the turning four corners, teaching how to exit and reconnect with a partner in opposition using clear signals and travel.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders can signal to stay in position by placing a hand on the partner's shoulder without continuing rotation.</li>
<li>Followers can initiate the back-to-front walk by lowering the leader's arm onto their shoulder to indicate a change.</li>
<li>Maintain eye contact and body language to stay connected when dancing in front-back positions.</li>
<li>Travel forwards with momentum during the four corners to smoothly transition into the back-to-front walk.</li>
<li>Reconnect by disconnecting and dancing until facing each other again, using an open breakaway moment.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Clear non-verbal signals, like hand placement, are crucial for communicating intent during partner changes.</li>
<li>Both leaders and followers can initiate the back-to-front variation from their respective turns.</li>
<li>Keep energy and connection alive even when not in direct physical contact to maintain partnership awareness.</li>
<li>Practice both leader-initiated and follower-initiated versions to build versatility in the dance.</li>

<p>COURSE: four-corners-special</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding faster turns into the four corners momentum pattern, teaching both leaders and followers how to execute and lead turns on both sides while maintaining momentum and connection.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Keep your feet small and directly under your body during the turn to maintain balance.</li>
<li>Followers should look at the leader while turning to track them and stay connected.</li>
<li>Leaders use the right hand to signal reconnection after the turn to guide back into four corners.</li>
<li>Practice the turn slowly first, then gradually increase speed as it feels comfortable.</li>
<li>For turns on the left side, step under the body with the left leg first, then the right, looking over the shoulder.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The turn relies on momentum from the four corners pattern to rotate the body smoothly.</li>
<li>Maintain balance by keeping steps small and under the hips, especially during fast turns.</li>
<li>Reconnection after the turn is signaled by hand placement to transition back into four corners.</li>
<li>It's normal to find one side harder; practice the weaker side more to improve.</li>

<p>COURSE: jookin-moves</p>
<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>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: jookin-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the shunt, a sideways traveling move that isolates different body parts while maintaining grounded movement.</p>
<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>
<li>Grounded posture makes leading and following easier.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the alternating shunts variation in jookin, focusing on leaders and followers taking turns to perform shunts while maintaining communication and connection.</p>
<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>Isolate arm movements from the body to avoid transferring motion to your partner during the chant.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The alternating shunts add a call-and-response element to the dance, enhancing rhythm and communication skills.</li>
<li>You can alternate between normal and alternating chants to practice flexibility and partner interaction.</li>
<li>Maintain a relaxed and connected posture to ensure smooth transitions between moves.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches stomps, a simple move to add attitude to dancing, focusing on technique and styling, including solo and partnered variations.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Stomp one leg forward and slide it back while keeping the foot connected to the ground.</li>
<li>Transfer weight onto the stomping leg as you slide it in to release the other leg.</li>
<li>Use upper body styling, such as twisting towards the stomping leg or leaning back.</li>
<li>In partnered stomps, lead by going down in your own body without forcing the partner.</li>
<li>Alternate stomps between legs and vary timing to match the music.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a relaxed posture with bent knees and connected foot movement.</li>
<li>Stomps are effective for adding attitude and can be adapted with personal styling.</li>
<li>In partnered dancing, communicate stomps through body movement rather than direct leading.</li>
<li>Be musical by aligning stomps with phrasing and alternating with other dance moves.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the James Brown or skate footwork variation, focusing on practicing it with different rhythms and techniques for balance and style.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<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>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The James Brown can be adapted to various rhythms in music, making it versatile for playfulness.</li>
<li>Proper posture and leg alignment are crucial for balance and preventing joint injuries.</li>
<li>The entrance from basic steps involves sideways energy to signal direction for the move.</li>
<li>In partner dancing, leaders suggest direction with the first step rather than fully leading the move.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the grind, a rotational hip swing movement, focusing on subtle variations and fluid execution, with applications in solo and partnered dancing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with feet under hips and swing hips rotationally, keeping weight split and legs alternating straightening and bending.</li>
<li>Practice against a wall to keep the upper body facing forward while swinging the hips.</li>
<li>Roll through the foot from ball to heel for a soft step, transferring energy from the ground into the hips.</li>
<li>For an exaggerated grind, stretch the ribs forward as the hip swings back to create resistance.</li>
<li>Travel the grind by stepping slightly forward or backward each time while maintaining the hip swing.</li>
<li>In partnership, connect in close embrace and allow the connection point to roll across each other.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Keep the movement fluid and subtle, with all action happening from the belly button down.</li>
<li>Maintain a relaxed posture with shoulders slightly over the knees when grinding.</li>
<li>Hips swing back, not forward, during the grind movement.</li>
<li>The grind can be adapted for solo practice or partnered dancing with simple travel variations.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the hip push move in jookin, focusing on proper technique and styling variations for solo and partnered dancing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Keep your heel on the floor and legs relaxed to avoid a tense hip push.</li>
<li>Maintain a long distance between ribs and hips to prevent crunching or tilting.</li>
<li>Return to neutral position before taking the next step when adding hip push to the basic step.</li>
<li>Adjust the swing size for faster music to keep movements controlled.</li>
<li>In partnered dancing, hip push can be added as personal styling without needing to lead it.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Aim for a grounded, earthy hip push with sass, not an upward or isolated movement.</li>
<li>The hip push can be used as a substitution in the basic step or as a standalone styling element.</li>
<li>In partnered variations, weight shifts may need to be led for coordinated movements.</li>
<li>Experiment with different levels, such as swinging at normal height and lowering, to add variety.</li>

<p>COURSE: jookin-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Four Corners move, a hip-focused variation of basic steps that involves rotating the body to four directions and adding hip pushes and scoops.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<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>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Funky Butt move, focusing on a backward hip swing with proper body alignment and connection in partnered dancing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Imagine hips as a heavy ball at the end of a rope-like spine for a smooth swing.</li>
<li>Keep weight in the front of the feet to avoid shifting into the heels.</li>
<li>For partnered moves, leaders should move hands slightly forward as hips swing back for balance.</li>
<li>Followers should feel the space between partners and move their center back to maintain connection.</li>
<li>Adjust the size and speed of the move based on the music tempo.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain a long spine and avoid isolating the hips to ensure the swing flows through the back.</li>
<li>Focus the movement in the butt, not the legs, to align with the move's name and purpose.</li>
<li>In partnered dancing, ensure a close connection with relaxed arms and avoid overstretching.</li>
<li>Practice the move solo first to build body awareness before adding partner elements.</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>COURSE: jookin-moves</p>
<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>
</ul></p>
