<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Vicci Leg' move, focusing on leaders communicating a triple step while cheating direction and followers responding to build a stretch without completing the third step.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders stop followers sooner by moving away to prevent the third step.</li>
<li>Followers keep the right leg soft and never locked for better balance.</li>
<li>Use hands with a slight disconnect to allow stretch from the center through the body.</li>
<li>Leaders turn toward the follower to initiate rotation and exit smoothly.</li>
<li>Followers can add styling by sneaking the left leg through ahead during the stretch.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Maintain connection and clear signals to avoid discomfort or missteps.</li>
<li>Keep the shoulder down and hand close to the body for proper frame.</li>
<li>Ensure the sternum always faces toward the partner for better alignment.</li>
<li>Wait to be led into the exit rather than choosing timing independently.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Cross Steps in Opposition move, focusing on executing a triple step in opposition with a partner in a repetitive loop, including an exit with an inside turn.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders do four steps slightly faster than followers to end in the correct position.</li>
<li>Use a laser beam concept to track your partner and maintain upper body connection during opposition.</li>
<li>For the exit, leaders raise their left arm to lead an inside turn while both partners have weight on their left.</li>
<li>Step under your body during the turn to avoid traveling away from your partner.</li>
<li>Practice the move from closed or open position with the same rules applying.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Both leaders and followers are responsible for staying connected through the laser beam concept.</li>
<li>The rhythm for the steps is consistent, such as one and two, to maintain timing.</li>
<li>The move can be repeated indefinitely and adapted with different counts like two, four, or eight.</li>
<li>Transition into the move from basics, starting with specific weight positions for leaders and followers.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding styling to cross steps by replacing the triple step with pivots, maintaining the same movement shape while changing footwork.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Transfer weight slightly forward onto the balls of the feet to make pivoting easier.</li>
<li>Keep pulsing to maintain flow during the pivot steps.</li>
<li>Track your partner with a laser beam to avoid distraction from footwork.</li>
<li>Practice mixing pivots with normal stepping and exits for variation.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The pivot footwork variation is independent and can be done by either partner without leading.</li>
<li>Maintain all previous technique while changing footwork to ensure smooth execution.</li>
<li>The exit options remain the same as with triple rhythm, allowing flexibility in movement.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the kick ball change styling for cross steps, focusing on controlled kicks and smooth transitions between steps.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Kick with energy going down through the heel, not throwing it away.</li>
<li>Use the whole body with a slight lean for a nice stretch or line.</li>
<li>Add an extra step at the end to alternate legs: kick, ball, step, step.</li>
<li>Keep movements grounded and avoid jumping to maintain control.</li>
<li>Transition smoothly by focusing on the step before the kick.</li>
<li>Practice the rhythm, such as 'one and two', to match the cross step pattern.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>This styling can be done independently without leading, in open or closed positions.</li>
<li>Maintain a low center of energy to keep movements contained and cool.</li>
<li>Timing and practice are key for smooth transitions between triple steps and kick steps.</li>
<li>Use variations for exits as learned in previous lessons.</li>
<li>Focus on technique to prevent the step from becoming too big or wild.</li>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on bluesy out and ins, teaching how to integrate them with cross steps and opposition steps from previous classes, using compression for movement transitions.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Use compression to spring back with a triple rhythm, feeling it from the hands down into the centers.</li>
<li>Step under your body on the release, moving the body first before the feet.</li>
<li>Maintain a secure frame with a bit of resistance for effective compression.</li>
<li>Practice transitioning from cross steps to out and ins by getting compression on count six.</li>
<li>Exit by asking for rotation instead of compression to return to cross steps.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Compression happens because bodies move closer together, not by tensing muscles.</li>
<li>Ensure movement continues through space to achieve compression without stopping.</li>
<li>Focus on efficiency and relaxation in the body during practice.</li>
<li>Give and receive feedback with a partner to improve technique and feel.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a dance move called 'Wheee No Hands!' focusing on an inside turn leading to a side-by-side position without hand holds, emphasizing body connection and movement coordination between leaders and followers.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders create distance after the inside turn by aligning shoulders and connecting left shoulder to partner's right shoulder.</li>
<li>Followers should step under their body as they move to maintain balance and follow the leader's lead.</li>
<li>Use a four-count timing: one and two and three and four, with rotation on the two for smooth execution.</li>
<li>Leaders lower themselves and move backwards to signal followers to disconnect arms and move forwards.</li>
<li>Keep arms raised after disconnecting to avoid hitting the partner when moving into side-by-side position.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Focus on body movement over precise footwork to adapt to the leader's cues and maintain flow.</li>
<li>Clear communication through body positioning is essential for signaling transitions without hand holds.</li>
<li>Practice the move with music to integrate timing and coordination for a natural feel.</li>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the Dizzy Move, a turning technique in dance that involves spinning with a partner, focusing on connection and dynamic speed control.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start from an inside turn with a step forward to position side-by-side before rotating.</li>
<li>Use a slight lean or counterbalance to create connection and allow for faster, more dynamic turns.</li>
<li>Pivot around a central axis with steps like 'step, turn' to maintain balance and avoid falling.</li>
<li>Exit the move by ensuring the follower is on their right leg to lead a big step to the left side.</li>
<li>Practice slowly and add counterbalance as speed increases to build control and prevent dizziness.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The rhythm and amount of spin depend on the music, so adapt the move to fit the song's dynamics.</li>
<li>Maintain a strong connection with your partner through counterbalance to stay together during turns.</li>
<li>Footwork varies based on factors like speed and leader's steps, so focus on staying balanced rather than a fixed pattern.</li>
<li>To reduce dizziness, focus on a stationary object like your hands after spinning.</li>
<li>Practice in short bursts to build skill without overexertion, and adjust the move to match musical explosions or slowdowns.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches using a triple step to transition from closed position to side-by-side, focusing on fluid movement and control as a foundational move for future classes.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with weight on the right for followers and left for leaders to avoid confusion.</li>
<li>Perform the three steps in two counts with a rhythm like 'one and two' for a faster pace.</li>
<li>Think of the move as a wave, sinking into the floor on the first step and rolling through on the second.</li>
<li>Keep one foot on the ground at all times to avoid jumping and maintain connection to the floor.</li>
<li>Leaders move their right hand from the follower's left to right side, while followers slide their arm accordingly.</li>
<li>In close embrace, arms may not need to move if already in the correct position.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>This triple step is a base move that will be used in upcoming classes, so mastering it is essential.</li>
<li>Focus on fluidity and avoiding jerky motions to make the transition smooth and beautiful.</li>
<li>Control the move by rolling the foot into the ground, which helps maintain connection and adapt to different music tempos.</li>
<li>Relax shoulders and adjust arm positions comfortably based on height differences for better connection.</li>
<li>Practice with slow music to stretch the move and emphasize the wave-like, rounded motion.</li>
<li>Ensure feet never disconnect from the ground to prevent jumping and enhance stability.</li>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the back-to-back matrix move, a stylish progression from the triple step into open, focusing on over-rotation and reconnection with a partner.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Anchor into the ground on the third step to prevent followers from over-rotating.</li>
<li>Drop the arm in closed position to allow space for the arm to roll through and enable rotation.</li>
<li>Keep your eyes open and look over your shoulder to visually coordinate timing with your partner.</li>
<li>Ensure the second step comes in under the hip for balance to facilitate controlled over-rotation.</li>
<li>Practice the move at various speeds to match the music, such as slow or fast counts.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The move requires both rotation and a clear stop to feel the connection with your partner.</li>
<li>Leaders must communicate the rotation and drop the arm to give followers freedom to move.</li>
<li>Balance on the second step is crucial for achieving the over-rotation in the matrix move.</li>
<li>The move can be adapted from closed position or close embrace with adjustments for arm placement.</li>
<li>Visual cues and timing are key for partners to synchronize their movements effectively.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a combination of the triple step and backwards matrix moves, focusing on integrating them with different hand positions and rotation options for a dynamic back-to-back sequence.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should lower their hand to communicate rotation and prevent wrist strain.</li>
<li>Practice the move with a faster rhythm for added spice, aiming for 'one and two and three'.</li>
<li>Followers should feel the leader's body rotation through the hand connection without tension.</li>
<li>After the back-to-back, leaders can choose to keep rotating slowly or stop and change direction.</li>
<li>Maintain a low and relaxed hand connection throughout the move.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The move combines elements from previous lessons but with a new twist on hand positioning and timing.</li>
<li>Timing can be adjusted to fit the music, with options for slower or faster execution.</li>
<li>Followers need to listen carefully to the leader's cues through body rotation, not pulling.</li>
<li>The ending offers two options: continuing rotation or reversing direction, enhancing adaptability.</li>
<li>This exercise helps test and improve connection and responsiveness in partner dancing.</li>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches a variation of the Back to Back Matrix move, adding an arm lift and rotation, with a focus on technique and comfort for different heights.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Bring the hands up and around instead of keeping them low.</li>
<li>Ensure the hand passes evenly between partners, slightly more to the follower's side.</li>
<li>Relax shoulders and arms to let the movement flow softly over the head.</li>
<li>Followers should start rotating their body as the hands are above the head.</li>
<li>Avoid this variation if there is a large height difference between partners.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>This move builds on previous variations by adding an arm-over-head element.</li>
<li>Maintain relaxation in the shoulders to prevent tension during the rotation.</li>
<li>Coordinate body rotation with the arm movement for a smooth finish.</li>
<li>Consider partner height compatibility to ensure comfort and safety.</li>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the 'Behind the Back' move, a simple turning step for leaders to guide followers in front and rotate together, focusing on timing and connection.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders step forward to send the follower in front, creating momentum with a slight delay in the right arm.</li>
<li>Followers should maintain patience on the fourth step, waiting for the leader to finish before committing.</li>
<li>Leaders use two steps (and four) to turn, ending with their back to the follower, and can adjust the unwind timing based on the music.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The move relies on elasticity in the connection to allow for smooth rotation and momentum.</li>
<li>Followers anchor their weight on the left leg after the fourth step to signal readiness for the next move.</li>
<li>Timing variations in the unwind can adapt to different musical styles, such as slow-motion for jazzy tunes.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the behind-the-back movement with a redirect ending, teaching both slow and quick timing variations for leaders and followers.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should turn toward followers and keep their hand in front while looking at them during the redirect.</li>
<li>Followers perform an outside turn with three steps (right, left, right) on a line, staying aligned.</li>
<li>For the quick redirect, leaders pivot faster in one count, and followers use a triple step (step and step) instead of stepping every beat.</li>
<li>During absorption, both partners sink into the left leg like an anchor, enjoying the slow motion without rushing.</li>
<li>Practice the sequence with both slow (eight counts) and quick (seven counts) timing options to adapt to the music.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The redirection is led by the leader's body movement speed, not by tension in the arms, to avoid shoulder injury.</li>
<li>Absorption duration is flexible; it can last as many counts as desired, depending on the music or preference.</li>
<li>Maintain eye contact and proper hand positioning during turns to ensure clear communication and smooth execution.</li>
<li>Enjoy the slow absorption phase by syncing with the leader's body and waiting patiently for the next move.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on the technique of stretch to create beautiful moves, incorporating a triple step and teaching leaders to step back to generate stretch while maintaining connection and frame.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders step back and roll the right foot to build stretch instead of crossing forward.</li>
<li>Maintain the stretch as you rotate to avoid over-rotation and loss of connection.</li>
<li>Followers step under the body to keep steps small and maintain equal stretch.</li>
<li>Leaders increase the stretch slightly to initiate the follower's rotation.</li>
<li>Roll through the foot on steps to absorb energy and prevent breaking the stretch.</li>
<li>Keep hands in the middle to signal stretch without pulling.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Stretch is created by bodies moving away from each other, driving rotation and maintaining connection.</li>
<li>Connection of arm and shoulder to the body is crucial for proper rotation and frame.</li>
<li>Avoid stopping on steps; continuous movement preserves energy and stretch.</li>
<li>Upper body rotates while lower body stays linear to maintain dissociation and frame.</li>
<li>Match arm shapes with your partner to enhance connection during the stretch.</li>
<li>Practice on a line to ensure consistent foot placement and smooth transitions.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on modifying a stretch-and-turn move by adding speed changes and a new ending, specifically teaching a triple rhythm for followers and a faster turn with three steps.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Add more energy to lead the follower through with a triple rhythm.</li>
<li>Perform a triple rhythm in your own body to signal the follower to do the same.</li>
<li>Keep the arm connection super relaxed after the stretch.</li>
<li>Pivot on the left leg for rotation during the turn.</li>
<li>End by slowly turning to face your partner whenever desired.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Use increased energy to communicate speed changes to the follower.</li>
<li>Maintain balance on the left leg during the turn for stability.</li>
<li>Relax the arm connection to avoid unnecessary tension.</li>
<li>The turn now has three steps instead of two for a faster pace.</li>
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: our-favourite-moves</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson combines the stretch move with the matrix move from previous classes, focusing on integrating them into a fluid sequence with optional styling at the end.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Start with the stretch move exactly as before, then transition into the matrix without stopping the rotation.</li>
<li>Followers should keep turning continuously rather than finishing the step forward.</li>
<li>Leaders go down slightly onto the left during the rotation before letting go and coming back together.</li>
<li>After the back-to-back position, you can add the hand-over-the-head styling move if desired.</li>
<li>Practice the timing by playing with the music to enhance the flow of the move.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The move is simple and builds on previously learned steps, making it easy to integrate.</li>
<li>Styling at the end is optional and can be adapted based on personal preference or feeling.</li>
<li>Maintain continuous rotation throughout the sequence to ensure smooth transitions between moves.</li>
<li>The key change involves not stopping at the end of the stretch, but instead continuing into the matrix rotation.</li>
</ul></p>
