## FOCUS - This lesson teaches stomps, a simple move to add attitude to dancing, focusing on technique and styling, including solo and partnered variations. ## TIP & TRICKS: - Stomp one leg forward and slide it back while keeping the foot connected to the ground. - Transfer weight onto the stomping leg as you slide it in to release the other leg. - Use upper body styling, such as twisting towards the stomping leg or leaning back. - In partnered stomps, lead by going down in your own body without forcing the partner. - Alternate stomps between legs and vary timing to match the music. ##REMEMBER - Maintain a relaxed posture with bent knees and connected foot movement. - Stomps are effective for adding attitude and can be adapted with personal styling. - In partnered dancing, communicate stomps through body movement rather than direct leading. - Be musical by aligning stomps with phrasing and alternating with other dance moves.
