<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>
</ul></p>

<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>
</ul></p>

<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>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: catches</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson explores catching in different places beyond the rib catch, introducing shoulder, upper arm, and hand catches to enhance creativity and connection in dance.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Keep arms at an available height for catches to ensure readiness.</li>
<li>When catching with the hand, maintain a low hand position to avoid lifting.</li>
<li>Create distance between partners to allow stretch and prevent tension in the arms.</li>
<li>For leaders, ensure your arm comes over your partner's arm when catching at the shoulder or upper arm.</li>
<li>Travel less during catches to enable your partner to stretch effectively.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Different catch points affect hip freedom, with higher connections allowing more movement.</li>
<li>Avoid stopping movement during catches; let it continue naturally.</li>
<li>Maintain a nice surface and connection when catching with the hands.</li>
<li>Experiment with mixing and matching different catch points for improvisation.</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>

<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>

<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 focuses on catches and continuous rotations in close embrace, aiming for a fluid and smooth movement that starts and ends in close embrace.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should place their right hand on the partner's right side after a catch to facilitate returning to close embrace.</li>
<li>Leaders should step back first after a catch to give followers momentum, with subsequent steps staying on the spot.</li>
<li>Followers should continue turning in the direction sent by leaders and be ready to reconnect when prompted.</li>
<li>Keep rotations on the spot by taking small steps and maintaining the axis around the leader's right leg.</li>
<li>Add extra close embrace rotations between catches for variation and to maintain momentum.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain fluidity and smoothness throughout the sequence to enhance the dance's aesthetic.</li>
<li>Ensure proper hand placement and elbow alignment to smoothly transition between catch and close embrace.</li>
<li>Focus on staying in place during rotations to avoid unnecessary travel and maintain control.</li>
<li>Be adaptable to different options, such as adding extra rotations or varying the timing of catches.</li>
</ul></p>

<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>
