## FOCUS - This lesson teaches the stomps and kick ball change moves, focusing on combining them with contrasting energy and enjoying the simplicity of the steps. ## TIP & TRICKS: - Stand with feet under hips, weight on left, and slide the right leg out and back in for stomps. - For kicks, direct energy through the heel and down into the ground, not out through the toes. - Keep the kicks light and small, with a rhythm of 'one and two' for the kick ball change. - Groove in the body, shake shoulders or butt, and smile to enjoy the simplicity of the moves. - Join stomps and kick ball change together, practicing two sets with a contrast between heavy stomps and light kicks. ##REMEMBER - Maintain low weight and energy in the body with a forward posture during stomps. - Use the sole of the foot on the floor to feel and scrape during slides and stomps. - Contrast the heavy, grounded stomps with the light, small kicks for dynamic movement. - Enjoy the simplicity of the moves by adding personal flair and body groove.
