## FOCUS - This lesson teaches two optional footwork sequences for a dance routine, focusing on heel digs or scissor kicks with styling variations, aiming to build groove and personal expression. ## TIP & TRICKS: - For heel digs, dig the heel into the ground and step it back under the body, repeating on both sides. - For scissor kicks, kick down through the heel, keeping it small and under the body with energy directed downward. - Add groove by playing with posture and giving the moves attitude to make them stylish. - 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. - 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. - End both options in the same position on count seven, with the left leg behind, before transitioning to a grapevine step. ##REMEMBER - Enjoy the simplicity of basic moves and make them your own by adding personal style. - Choose between heel digs or scissor kicks based on what feels better for your body. - Focus on timing and rhythm to ensure smooth transitions between steps. - Experiment with different styling options to enhance the dance's visual appeal. - The routine allows for creativity, so adapt it to look however you want. - Practice both options to build versatility and confidence in your movements.
