<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>

<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>

<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>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>

<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>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>

<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>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a lead variation involving hooking the leg behind as a simple solo and partner move, with the goal of integrating it smoothly into dance while maintaining proper technique and partner connection.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<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>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>

<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>
