<p>FOCUS: This lesson explores various informal ways to connect in close embrace, emphasizing comfort and personal adaptation over a single default position.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with different arm placements, such as wrapping around the waist or disconnecting one arm.</li>
|
||||
<li>Adjust your embrace to be more open if there's a height difference for better breathing space.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play with your partner to find a snug, hug-like connection that feels comfortable in the moment.</li>
|
||||
<li>Allow the connection to be dynamic, moving around as you dance rather than staying fixed in one place.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Everyone's close embrace will look and feel different based on factors like height and body size.</li>
|
||||
<li>The goal is to find a comfortable embrace that works for you and your partner, not to mimic others exactly.</li>
|
||||
<li>Continuously adapt your close embrace throughout the course as you learn new moves.</li>
|
||||
<li>Informal connections can be more suitable for relaxed or late-night dancing situations.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the belly rubbing move, a subtle hip rotation similar to the grind but smaller, focusing on split weight and relaxation.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with split weight and add a small rotation in the hips.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep knees bent and legs soft, avoiding locked legs.</li>
|
||||
<li>Shift weight to one side or keep it in both feet as options.</li>
|
||||
<li>Stay relaxed, especially when speeding up the movement.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure weight is clearly on one side before stepping back into slow drag.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Belly rubbing is a very small movement, the smallest covered so far in the course.</li>
|
||||
<li>In partnership, the move involves close connection and subtle communication between partners.</li>
|
||||
<li>It can be tricky due to its subtlety, requiring relaxation and attentive listening to the partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>The movement allows for weight shifting and timing variations to suit individual style.</li>

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces opposition in late-night blues dancing, where partners move in different directions while maintaining connection without physical contact. The goal is to explore this position while keeping energy focused inward toward each other.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Leaders initiate opposition by staying on one side while signaling weight changes to followers.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with arm placement to control the openness or closeness of the connection bubble.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add subtle hip styling like small backward swings, side swings, tilts, or rotations while in opposition.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep movements small to maintain connection and avoid overextending.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use upper body and arms to gently bring partners back together from opposition.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a focused connection with your partner as if dancing in a private bubble, even when not in close embrace.</li>
|
||||
<li>Opposition creates tension in the air between bodies, preserving a beautiful connection without physical touch.</li>
|
||||
<li>The intensity of the move can be adjusted through arm placement and movement size.</li>
|
||||
<li>All previously learned moves can be adapted and played with in the opposition position.</li>
|
||||

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson introduces the slow drag, the oldest known partnered blues dance, focusing on its history and foundational role in the course, with the goal of practicing its simple, continuous stepping and close embrace.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start with weight on the left foot and step and drag slowly without stopping.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the drag motion and avoid a double pause unlike the basic step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play with body shape by leaning slightly or changing posture while staying upright.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine embracing your partner and move towards them to find a close, squishy embrace.</li>
|
||||
<li>Decide on arm connection and hip spacing to maintain the slow drag feeling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Think of partners hanging off each other with informal arms for a draped, tired feeling.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The slow drag originated as a non-dance to avoid lifting or crossing feet due to historical sanctions.</li>
|
||||
<li>Less is more in this dance; simplicity and minimal movement enhance the experience.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on comfort and how the connection feels rather than external appearance.</li>
|
||||
<li>The dance emphasizes a continuous, slow step with a strong drag component.</li>
|
||||
<li>Embrace the feeling of hanging off your partner for an authentic slow drag experience.</li>
|
||||
<li>Check additional resources for more on the slow drag's interesting history.</li>

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on two body shape options for the slow drag in blues dancing, emphasizing relaxed movement and delayed body rippling.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Start the movement by leaning from your upper body first, with the rest following in a soft, delayed ripple.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice with more or less space between your hips to see how it affects the upper body shaping.</li>
|
||||
<li>Move your head to a comfortable position as you change body shapes to avoid feeling stuck.</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure you drag the foot during the movement to maintain the slow drag technique.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Avoid adding extra tension or stretch into the body; keep movements super relaxed.</li>
|
||||
<li>Feel different body parts moving at different times to create a delay of movement through the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a comfortable close embrace and arm position with your partner while practicing.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches the grind dance move, focusing on integrating rotation, weight shift, and pelvic tilt into a relaxed, late-night blues style for partner connection.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Rotate the pelvis so the right hip bone comes forward while the left goes back, and vice versa.</li>
|
||||
<li>Step into the leg as the hip bone moves forward to shift weight naturally.</li>
|
||||
<li>Roll through the foot when stepping to create energy flow from the ground up through the body.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the upper body facing forward to maintain connection with your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the grind in two counts to match the slow drag timing, starting on the spot before adding movement.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The grind involves three simultaneous elements: rotation, weight shift, and tilt of the pelvis.</li>
|
||||
<li>Allow the knees to bend naturally to support the hip movement and ensure comfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed, soft style with energy flowing through the chest for partner connection.</li>
|
||||
<li>Experiment with traveling directions (forward, back, sides) while keeping the hip action independent.</li>
|
||||
<li>Adjust arm placement and body connection to find what feels comfortable for the grind movement.</li>

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>
|

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on performing the grind step in single time, which involves stepping every beat instead of every two beats, while maintaining quality and connection with a partner.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Step every beat to transition from half time to single time.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on the shape of your body while moving faster.</li>
|
||||
<li>Take a deep breath and keep everything relaxed during practice.</li>
|
||||
<li>Mix up single time and half time to vary the tempo.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add the grind action into your body while maintaining a close embrace.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play with combining the slow drag basic with grind variations.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The music is slower than you think, so prioritize shape over speed.</li>
|
||||
<li>Faster steps can be more difficult, so pay attention to quality.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a beautiful connection with your partner, especially in late-night blues.</li>
|
||||
<li>As a follower, you can initiate body shape changes without altering tempo.</li>
|
||||
<li>Personal preference allows flexibility in leading or following tempo changes.</li>
|
||||
<li>Combine all learned elements to see how they feel together in the dance.</li>

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to swing the hips back to create a subtle variation called the 'funky butt' in late-night blues dancing, focusing on small, controlled movements.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Swing the hips back on the 'two' count of the basic step.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine moving through resistance, like underwater or in honey, to slow the swing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Open the hip slightly when swinging back for a more natural feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the movement small and subtle to maintain connection with your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on how the movement feels in your body rather than how it looks.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The funky butt is a non-funky variation that adds a subtle hip swing to the slow drag basic.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain forward weight while the hips move back to preserve balance.</li>
|
||||
<li>This is an individual variation that can be added or ignored based on personal comfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the upper body embrace stable to avoid losing connection with your partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Play with the size and points of connection to suit your comfort and style.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on practicing the 'Funky Butt' swing while keeping weight on one side, with the goal of mastering this movement individually and then applying it in partnered dancing.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Swing the free hip back while keeping weight on one side.</li>
|
||||
<li>Add a little rotation into the hip for a nicer feel.</li>
|
||||
<li>Leaders should clearly keep weight on one side in their own body to signal the partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Stay on the spot or move a little with no rush.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep movements small and subtle to enjoy the feeling.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Weight stays on the same side throughout the swing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Let the connection be dynamic and change based on comfort.</li>
|
||||
<li>Partners can initiate the weight shift, but it's optional.</li>
|
||||
<li>The swing is similar to non-funky funky butts but with fixed weight.</li>
|
||||
<li>Enjoy the movement of hips through space without rushing.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>

<p>COURSE: late-night-blues</p>
|
||||
<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on adding a subtle sideways hip swing to dance steps, aiming for a relaxed and soft movement that enhances body connection and styling.</p>
|
||||
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
|
||||
<li>Place your weight on one leg and swing the hip sideways in a small, relaxed motion.</li>
|
||||
<li>Imagine moving through air with resistance, like it's full of honey, to guide the hip swing.</li>
|
||||
<li>Swing the hip on the two count when shifting weight every two counts in steps.</li>
|
||||
<li>Practice the hip swing individually as a styling option, even without a partner.</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep the movement lazy and soft, avoiding extra muscular energy.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
|
||||
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
|
||||
<li>The hip swing is similar to the hip push from previous courses but softer and more subtle.</li>
|
||||
<li>Focus on how the movement feels and connects within the body for a natural flow.</li>
|
||||
<li>You can add or remove the hip swing at any time to vary your dance styling.</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintain a relaxed, late-night vibe to keep the movement effortless and enjoyable.</li>
|
||||
</ul></p>
