<p>COURSE: qa-sessions</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson explains why solo dancing is important for personal skill development and cultural expression in blues dance, aiming to encourage students to practice solo dancing to enhance partner dancing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Practice solo dancing privately to work on your own body movement and get to know yourself.</li>
<li>Think of your body as an instrument, similar to learning to play the saxophone before joining a band.</li>
<li>Approach partner dancing by first seeing yourself as an individual dancer, then as a partner with the music and your dance partner.</li>
<li>Use solo dancing to develop and express your own individual voice as a dancer.</li>
<li>Focus on giving yourself the skills to connect to the music and express what you hear in more detail.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Solo dancing is vital for dancing well with others, as it builds personal skill and ease in connection.</li>
<li>Blues dance emphasizes individuality, rooted in African-American vernacular dance traditions.</li>
<li>Dancing apart allows for better dialogue with the music, as highlighted in historical quotes from blues dance literature.</li>
<li>Individual expression and inventiveness are as prized as technical virtuosity in dances like those at the Savoy Ballroom.</li>
<li>Respect the cultural heritage of blues dance by valuing individuality as much as the creators did.</li>

<li>Leaders should place their right hand below the partner's shoulder blade, following the curve of the back.</li>

<p>REMEMBER: <ul>

<p>COURSE: top-tips</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson provides top tips for leaders and followers on how to smoothly reconnect after a turn in open dance positions, focusing on connection types, timing, and body mechanics.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Leaders should reconnect as soon as possible after a turn by identifying the desired connection type, such as close embrace or side-by-side.</li>
<li>Followers should use their head and shoulders to lead the turn, creating a spiral for more space and time to reconnect.</li>
<li>For height differences, followers can use the 'tulip' technique by sending the arm up with the elbow down and dropping it over the other side.</li>
<li>Leaders should connect early to signal readiness, allowing followers to prepare their arm for reconnection.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Understanding the desired connection type helps leaders plan reconnection after a turn.</li>
<li>Early connection from leaders is crucial for followers to anticipate and prepare for reconnection.</li>
<li>Body mechanics, like leading with the head, prevent trapped situations and facilitate smoother transitions.</li>

</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The centre is the engine that moves you, not the joints.</li>
<li>All energy originates from the belly and radiates outward.</li>
<li>Focus on starting movements from the centre to enhance flow and control.</li>
<li>Avoid initiating actions at the joints for a more connected dance style.</li>
<li>Visualising a fireball in the belly can help internalise this principle.</li>
<li>This approach applies to various movements like arms, traveling, and hips.</li>

<p>COURSE: top-tips</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to dance between the beats rather than on them, focusing on filling the time between beats with movement to enhance musicality.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Think of a beat as a period of time, not just a point, to better understand the space available for movement.</li>
<li>Practice dancing on top of the beats and then switch to dancing in between them to visually see the difference.</li>
<li>Use a medium slow song to clearly observe and practice the contrast between on-beat and between-beat dancing.</li>
<li>Fill the space between beats with your movement, as this is where the expressive 'party' happens in dance.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Avoid fixating solely on the beats themselves; instead, focus on the intervals between them for more dynamic dancing.</li>
<li>Dancing between the beats allows for greater musical expression and fluidity in your movements.</li>
<li>Consider beats as durations (e.g., one second at 60 BPM) to better plan and execute movements within that time.</li>
<li>This technique helps in adapting to different song tempos and enhancing overall dance creativity.</li>

<p>COURSE: top-tips</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches grounding in dance, focusing on shifting body weight and energy downward to improve balance, control, and movement timing.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Relax the shoulders, chest, legs, and feet to let body weight sink into the ground.</li>
<li>Breathe into the belly to help relax the upper body and connect to the ground.</li>
<li>Practice ungrounding by lifting energy to the chest and grounding by sending it down to the belly.</li>
<li>Partner exercises can help feel the tactile difference between grounded and ungrounded states.</li>
<li>Avoid bending knees to ground; instead, focus on where energy and weight are held in the body.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Grounding is about energy and weight distribution, not just physical posture or knee bending.</li>
<li>Being grounded enhances balance, control, and ease in dancing, especially to slow music.</li>
<li>It may take time to incorporate grounding, but practice leads to noticeable improvements.</li>
<li>Grounding can make technical dance moves easier by increasing body control.</li>

<p>COURSE: top-tips</p>
<p>FOCUS: This lesson teaches how to invite a partner into close embrace in dance, emphasizing it as a mutual agreement like a hug between friends.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Offer a space to your partner and move slowly to meet in the middle.</li>
<li>Connect bodies first before placing arms to avoid pulling.</li>
<li>Make your invitation obvious by moving forward slightly.</li>
<li>Practice the invitation from both leader and follower roles.</li>
<li>Respond to invitations by either accepting or delicately declining with alternative connections.</li>
<li>Take your time and relax when entering close embrace.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Close embrace should always be a mutual agreement between both partners.</li>
<li>The key connection is the body, not the arms, to maintain a natural flow.</li>
<li>Both leaders and followers have the option to say yes or no to close embrace.</li>
<li>If you agree to close embrace, commit fully and enjoy the connection.</li>
<li>Be creative and respectful if your partner prefers a different connection.</li>
<li>Practice makes the invitation feel more natural over time.</li>

<p>FOCUS: This lesson focuses on understanding and embodying the pulse in blues dance as an expansive physical representation of the music's beat, rather than a bounce.</p>
<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>Think of the pulse as an expansion in the body, like feeling bass from a speaker.</li>
<li>Move the pulse around the body, such as forwards, backwards, or to the sides.</li>
<li>Adjust the size of the pulse based on the music, from big to subtle.</li>
<li>Vary the texture of the pulse, making it smooth or sharp as the song dictates.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>The pulse is a physical representation of the beat, not just a bounce.</li>
<li>It can change in size, texture, and location within the body.</li>
<li>Adapt the pulse to match the characteristics of different songs.</li>

<p>TIP & TRICKS: <ul>
<li>For heel digs, dig the heel into the ground and step it back under the body, repeating on both sides.</li>
<li>For scissor kicks, kick down through the heel, keeping it small and under the body with energy directed downward.</li>
<li>Add groove by playing with posture and giving the moves attitude to make them stylish.</li>
<li>For scissor kick styling, swing hips in the opposite direction of the kick for a small movement or lean the upper body back for a bigger effect.</li>
<li>Practice the timing with counts like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven for heel digs or one and two and three and four for scissor kicks.</li>
<li>End both options in the same position on count seven, with the left leg behind, before transitioning to a grapevine step.</li>
</ul></p>
<p>REMEMBER: <ul>
<li>Enjoy the simplicity of basic moves and make them your own by adding personal style.</li>
<li>Choose between heel digs or scissor kicks based on what feels better for your body.</li>
